FOGO Eucalyptus lump?

Has anyone used Fogo's Eucalyptus lump? If so, notice any difference in light-up, burn temp or smell/flavor vs their regular lump?

Side note, I found this funny: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fogo since I knwo fogo is supposed to translate to 'fire'.

It's more economical for me to just use essential oils on my standard lump.

I've used eucalyptus charcoal, but not the Fogo brand specifically. Burns cleanly, a light (good) smell, so overall I found it to be a good quality charcoal. Give it a try, I'm sure you're gonna like it. I have no idea how much it costs though, so completely depending on price it may be worth it or not.

Thanks big H. I picked up a few bags a while back but haven't had any time to experiment. My wife found it buried in our storage room, I'd forgotten about it. I'd read that it burns hotter and lights easily.

Heard good things about that too. Supposed to be like ironwood, but I suppose you know that it's native to your area isn't it?
