    The Good Charcoal

    Anyone familiar with this product? Given its name, it's hard to search for. I saw it in something that the PK Grills posted on Instagram.
    Supposedly they use acacia from southern Africa where it is invasive, so it's win-win (except it's nearly twice the price of Kingsford)

    I followed your link down to see what I could buy the Good charcoal for and where. It’s available at Home Depot but isn’t cost effective when I look at the B&B I use now. I’m such a jaded old skeptic that I’m slow to believe any claims that the product is good for where ever it’s produced. If I recall correctly someone posted an article not long ago showing that all charcoal tested contained woods that were not listed on the bag. Right now I can get B&B lump for $15.99 a 20 pound bag at Walmart or Academy. It works great for me.

      I bought 17 bags @ Ollie's in OH for about $7 per bag.

      It's OK as far as lump charcoal goes. Burns well, burns hot, easy to control the temp.
      I just came to the conclusion I don't like lump.

        No lump for me either. Tried it a few times over the years, couldn't handle all the sparks and irregular pieces.

        I love lump, just saying. I'm never go back to brickets and all that ash.

      Now that you mention it, that really is a curious choice for a brand name in this age of Google.

        I bought some at Sam's a couple years ago when they had it in their inventory. The bags I go had a lot of smaller pieces and dust...might have been from rough handling in shipment.
