Jealous Devil All Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal - 35LB

I recently just converted back to charcoal from gas and wanted to find a good lump wood charcoal. Luckily I found it on my first try. I will never use another brand after using Jealous Devil. I've tried cooking everything on this (even slow cooked on my grill using a groker) and everything tastes so much better. This stuff burns HOT, which will help you get that nice sear that will make your grilling legendary. I love the fact that the wood is all different sizes, from smaller than typical coals to as big as softball, which is clutch if you need to add more to the fire and control temp. It also fires up faster, flares up a lot less, and produces almost no smoke or ash compared to store bought charcoal, which are always people's biggest complaints about charcoal grills. After using this for awhile, I have some tips that I have learned along the way. First, it's burned wood so it has a black residue on it that will make your hands black if you pick it up. I just use my BBQ gloves to solve this issue (you'll want a pair anyway for my next tip). Don't ever use fluid with this unless you want your food to taste like it. I have a Weber top pour type and Charbroil bottom release type chimney and I prefer bottom release. Like I said, this stuff gets hot, so the bottom release is easier and safer, but you'll want those BBQ gloves in either case. You probably will also want to use a 2 zone or some other indirect heat setup to ensure you have an area to get food off the fire. Finally, if you are frugal, you can actually reuse a lot of the wood in your next fire with no reduction in performance. Happy grilling!

1st time using it and found it’s easy to light, minimal to no nasty smell, plenty of heat and just have to get used to burn times So far so good

Used last night for the first time when making some pizzas, long burning and kept my oven at a steady temperature. You can tell its great quality because there's almost no smell meaning they dont use crazy chemicals that would harm you. Huge bag, should last me a while, therefore it's a great value for the money!

Lets be honest, when using a charcoal grill, we need fuel that lasts, can be reused when not fully spent and allows for the maximum temps at the longest intervals. Jealous Devil lump does all of that. This coal burns super hot, lasts longer than other lumps, and costs much less than the vast majority of competitors. What I also loved was that the lumps were not tiny. The lumps were substantial. Additionally, the lumps did not spark or cause any issues, they just burned efficiently, effectively and did not add additional flavors not wanted from a cook. The lump allowed the wood chunks to do their job while they did theirs. I highly recommend this lump to any coal burning griller. Dont be fooled by higher cost lump. This stuff is amazing at a fraction of the cost of others. Just look at YouTube for evaluations to see how this coal stacks up.

This is the greatest product EVER! I am burning out tree stumps. Low ash & it has a LONG BURN TIME. I won't go back to any other brand!
