Serious Eats Ranked Us #1 Choice

September 1, 2025

The Good Charcoal was ranked the number one Best Overall Lump Charcoal by Serious Eats because it outperformed every other brand they tested. The balanced mix of large, medium, and small acacia hardwood chunks makes it easy to light, then keeps the heat steady for hours without constant tending. In both low and slow barbecue and high-heat searing, it delivered one of the longest burn times with remarkably little ash, meaning less mess and more consistency. The sturdy pull-tab bags are designed for convenience, while the clean burn leaves food tasting the way it should with no chemical fillers or overpowering smoke. From setup to cleanup, The Good Charcoal proves why serious grillers and pitmasters trust it bag after bag.
