Food & Wine tested charcoal again this year and put The Good Charcoal at the top again. That makes four years in a row.
Four years is not a lucky bag. It is the same bag, tested four times, by people who grill for a living.
The reason has not changed. One ingredient. 100% acacia hardwood, harvested in Namibia. It lights fast, holds high heat, and burns down clean without the additives most bags rely on.
"Test results aside, let’s start with the intangible reasons we love The Good Charcoal Company: Its acacia charcoal is made from invasive trees in Namibia that are encroaching on grasslands; it’s created 150 local jobs and counting; and it fights food insecurity in U.S. cities by hosting barbecues for people in need." - Greg Baker
Good Food Deserves Good Charcoal.
