Delivery and customer service ratings are not applicable - I went online, found that my store had stock, went and bought a couple of bags. My son does a lot of charcoal cooking (I mostly use our gas grille) and this is what he uses. It is very good stuff, lit right up with a news paper fire in the little chimney lighting device (no stinky, toxic lighter fluid) and did a beautiful job with some very beautiful beef.

Been grilling for big family events for over 20 years, ribs, chicken, steak……this charcoal from FOGO it’s the best I’ve had

My New Go To....Great Value!!

I love this brand. Always get large pieces of lump charcoal in every bag. Cook taste is awesome. Always consistent. So glad Home Depot carrier the 2 pack! It's my new "go to" for my charcoal needs and always a great value!

Easy to light but it seems to burn through quickly. I used a full basket for a low/slow smoke (225-250F) and it had burned through quite a bit in 4 hours. The packaging specifically says it's great for low/slow but I'm not confident it would actually survive a long cook. Given that a single back cost more, and weight less that the competing brand next to it, I'm not likely to purchase this again as I didn't feel like the value was there.

I came to home depot for my usual 2 pack of Kingsford. The website showed that my home store had 70 available bags. But upon arrival there, i was told by 2 separate employees that there was probably a mistake in the system. Which forced me to buy this charcoal. It took forever to light and burned unevenly. I was truly disappointed with Home Depot and this specific brand/purchase.

Great Charcoal

I won a really nice outdoor grill and decided as a first timer to try my hand at cooking in the great outdoors. I had not seen lump charcoal before so it looked different to me after what I was used to. It is a medium size. I like the instructions on the bag which helped me set things up. It was easy to light but burned hot with little smoke. I liked the flavor instead of the usual chemical smell. Thanks to FOGO I now look forward to cooking outside especially when the weather is hot and I do not want to heat up my kitchen.

Burns hot and burns long!

I use lump charcoal exclusively in my Kamado cooker. I also use it extensively in my Santa Maria grill. In the pics I show how I used the FOGO Blazabowl Charcoal starter. The FOGO lump started fast and it maintained a steady temperature during my cook. It really gave off a hot temp that resulted in crispy chicken skin. Much easier than with regular charcoal briquettes. I even had many pieces of lump charcoal for the next cook!

Time Saver

I love to grill outside, doesn't matter if it's summer or winter, and I love cooking with charcoal and wood, I'm always trying different types of charcoal to get the taste I want on the grill, that's why I picked up this FOGO Premium Lump Charcoal!! This 17.6 lb. bag of lump charcoal is made from wood and is perfect for all types of outdoor grilling,

FOGO Charcoal 35 lbs. Premium Wood Lump Charcoal

My family does a lot of outside grilling and barbequing. We prefer grilling with charcoal for that outside barbeque flavor of all our meats and vegetables and fruit. If we are not doing large types of meats, such as whole turkeys, or pork and beef roasts, we prefer the medium clumps of coal. They cook faster on smaller cut-up meat and vegetables and fruit. These coals provide a very nice bed of coals and great flavor.

Awesome premium charcoal

I have used FOGO products before and have been very happy with them. This product is very similar to other FOGO lump charcoals. The only difference seems to be that the lumps are a little smaller than some of their other products. I prefer the smaller lumps because I use a charcoal chimney and it is easier to get the lumps to catch evenly and easily with the smaller lumps. These are capable of burning very hot or cool depending on the oxygen you allow them. The biggest difference I noticed with this premium charcoal vs typical briquettes of other brands is that this premium charcoal does not smoke nearly as much. Things I cook in foil with typical briquettes get a brown film on them. These premium lumps produce almost no residue when they burn. I love this and highly recommend FOGO charcoal!

Enough charcoal to last a good while

I have a pretty large grill and it takes a lot of charcoal to heat it up even if I'm just grilling a couple of steaks. I placed the Fogo charcoal in two piles like I normally do and dosed it with the usual amount of charcoal lighter. It did not keep a flame very long which made me think I didn't use enough charcoal lighter. After reading the instructions I found out there was a trick to getting a good initial flame up, but it still took the charcoal quite a while before it was ready to cook on. However, once I had a good bed of coals, I had plenty of cook time.

Bigger pieces with a constant temperature than many competitors

Fogo charcoal and the Fogo starter hardwood combination is a great combination for a easy level temperature fire. Tossing water logged hardwood smoking chips on the Fogo fire holds a temperature for many minutes without adding more lump charcoal. This is a better experience than smaller charcoal sized brands and using a lighter fluid. This product started faster and because of the stable temperature it cooked dependably.

Great Charcoal for good tasting food

This a a great product for anyone looking for better tasting food. Charcoal adds much more flavor to whatever meat of choice, whether it be beef, chicken, pork, venison or any other. The flavor adds dimension to the meal much better than any gas grill.

A great improvement over briquettes

I barbecue quite often and wanted to try something different than regular briquettes. When opening the bag, the pieces come in everything from tiny chips to large chunks over 8 inches in length. They light just like regular briquettes. The best thing I found is that when I cooked some hamburgers, there was a lot of flavor, more than regular briquettes.The charcoal is more expensive than briquettes but I find it definitely worth the extra cost when cooking meat and fish. Probably use regular briquettes for something like hot dogs.

Nice big bag

I'm glad I decided to try this FOGO lump charcoal. I normally use regular charcoal brickettes and put some dry hickory chunks for flavor. That isn't necessary using the chucks. My fire lasted longer than I needed, which is a good thing as my wife decided she wanted me to grill some pineapple rings after I had the meat finished. These chunks light easily and put a unique flavor in meat. I would suggest giving these a try for your next grill cook.

Can I give a few extra stars?

I'm amazed. It doesn't even resemble the lump charcoal I've been using. It isn't even packaged like other lump charcoals. I knew it was gonna be different when I seen the non paper bag. I was right. It got way hotter and much faster than my old brand. It spelled better. Stayed hot longer. And our steak was absolutely delicious (I took credit) I don't think anyone could try this charcoal and not love it. We will be filling the charcoal bin with it for a fact.

Great Charcoal

This is excellent all-around charcoal, ideal for grilling but also fine for smoking. I have been using it with great results on a kamado-style grill/smoker. The coals are a mixture of mostly small- to medium-sized chunks. They light rather quickly in a chimney starter, and with the vents on my grill wide open, they get very hot quickly. The aroma and flavor of the coals is pretty negligible, imparting only a light flavor of smoke to the food. These are definitely among the better brands of lump charcoal I have found available at the moment.

100% natural

This is a natural, unprocessed charcoal, varying in odd shaped chunks of wood, not the uniform briquettes. It lights with a paper towel and cooking oil so you don't get that petro smell. I was impressed how quickly I got to cooking temperature and how long it maintained it. See the picture timeline for reference. At the 2 hr mark it was still putting off good heat. If I had started with a larger quantity I'm sure I'd have enough heat to still cook, (or I could just add more, if I really wanted to cook that long).

Not as good as briquets

I was anxious to try “lump” charcoal since I have been using charcoal briquets for many years. I really like the flavor of charcoal versus gas, especially for burgers and steaks.

Big chunks, no junk

The FOGO Premium charcoal arrives in a sturdy bag that's water and tear resistant.
