Family BBQ
I’ve tried several types of coals in the past but needed something that would allow some decent cooking time as I had a large quantity of meat to get through!! This restaurant grade coal is incredibly good at keeping a consistent temperature for a longer period of time thus allowing me to produce some delightful meat for the entire family to enjoy. I was cooking for approximately 7 hours on and off throughout the day and couldn’t fault it’s performance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS STUFF. ITS TRULY THE BEST OUT THERE !!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Disappointing
The description of this describes it as restaurant grade lumpwood charcoal, and I am unsure what restaurant grade means after using it. It is certainly poorer quality than lumpwood charcoal bought from B&Q or other DIY retailers. It was dropped off the van (literally) as 2 sacks taped together. The description also recommends breaking up the larger lumps for convenience. Actually, I couldn't find any lumps big enough to warrant breaking up, or I would have been cooking with powder. There was also a fair amount of un-charred wood, twigs, string and other rubbish mixed in. The most disappointing feature is the heat output. I have to use twice as much charcoal than I normally would use, and the heat output is still very poor - with longer heating-up times and a very short cooking window. I blame myself for trying to get a better product at a lower price by buying this way, but I have learned from the experience.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

I’ll never buy supermarket charcoal again
I was recommended these by my bro in law who runs a pub and does outdoor even during summer.. he gets his from local cash and carry but as I’m not a member I found the same coals on eBay... the size and weight of each lump gives an indication of the quality. Using a chimney starter you can be up and running in 10mins and the coals retain their heat plenty long enough for most family BBQ’s without turning to powdery dust.

Terrible, tiny pieces, complete junk. Like buying a bag of black dust.
Absolutely junk. Do not buy this Charcoal. Full of tiny pieces of charcoal including twigs. If you want a decent heat output look elsewhere. The pieces are so small that they choke up the grate. I bought this as I had run out of my usual charcoal for my Big Green Egg. My normal charcoal has pieces in excess of around 10cm long with some much larger pieces up to 30cm long which I sometimes break up depending on what I am using it for. You will be lucky to get anything bigger than 5cm in this bag. Most of it is actually the size of what I would normally empty out of the bag into the bin, full of tiny pieces and dust. A complete waste of money. I'm not sure what restaurants this would be suitable for, maybe a dolls kitchen?Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very dangerous
Having only just used this product must warn you how incredibly dangerous this is. It spit for a hour - spewing red hot rocks in a 2m distance all over my patio - burning me if I went any where near the bbq, I aborted the bbq as everywhere within a 2m diameter was covered with hot ash and required a major clean up including my indoors as it had been walked into the house. Extremely dangerous to children anywhere near it and I have small ash burns all over my body. This product should not be sold.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent
Brilliant charcoal, a huge step up in quality from anything you'll find in a supermarket or similar. Burns evenly, creates lots of heat, lasts for ages. Great product at a reasonable price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Long lasting with great smell - perfect for my Aldi Kamado!
I'd bought some B&Q charcoal and this is so much better - lasts longer, smells great and burns hotter. The pieces were big at the tops and smaller at the bottom (as you would expect). Takes about 10mins to light nicely in the bbq chimney before putting in kamadoVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

tiny pieces of charcoal
Whilst the charcoal appears to be a bargain, it has unfortunately arrived in useless condition. The coal has been smashed into tiny pieces like you would find in a disposable BBQ so it is of no use whatsoever to anyone wanting to cook for a period of time.

Good lumpwood charcoal
Quite small pieces, but burns for long time. Lights easily, had much better results with this charcoal than previous restaurant lumpwood charcoal from different supplier. Only negative is had some pieces almost explode and one flew out and burnt the decking. But otherwise it's great!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
