Great charcoal -- great cooking, which after all is the entire point. I especially love the bags which will not tear and foul their surroundings. The bag I just got has too many smaller pieces; I was hoping for nothing smaller than about a 1.5" screen, which was why I ordered the super premium lump. Still, I have tried at least five different "lump" charcoals locally, and all have been very disappointing, hence I am mail-ordering charcoal, something one should not need to do.
burns clean and hot. i like it much better than other brands and recommend it to all my friends
Highly recommend this and all of Fogo charcoal. Burns hot and consistently, great flavor profile on the meat, chicken, fish without too much intense smoke like you get with fresh wood.
I was hesitant to try eucalyptus charcoal because eucalyptus oil can have a very strong flavor. However, the smoke was nice and sweet and distinctly different from other woods. It works great with beef. I'll definitely buy more of this.
Have used most of 1 bag and had great results on higher temp cooks - steaks, burgers, chicken, etc.
Did a brisket today and thought “I’ll just use this instead of the yellow bag fogo”. MISTAKE. Did not care for the flavor at all. I’m assuming that I wasn’t running at high enough temp? Anyway - use it for hot & fast.
Super simple but perfect for lighting my grill, my firepit, and even torching some errant weeds in my sidewalk.
Easy ordering, quick shipping, and no damage to a superior product
I really like this charcoal. It lights easy, burns clean and evenly. I have yet to find the rocks or barb wire you hear about people finding in some brands
I haven't had a chance to use this product yet but looking forward to. It appears it will be very useful for many cook preps.
Fogo is the best lump charcoal. It lasts longer than regular charcoal. Shipped very fast.
Was a great complement to all pork cuts . For me was great on pork steaks .
Use this in my offset wood burner to help keep temps consistent and burning for hours. amazing stuff
I bought this to replace the dome thermometer on my Egg. It was a cinch to install and the reading appear to be perfectly accurate to the probes. I also like the size and color-contrast on the dial--easy to read it from a distance.
Looks great. I have received a few comments about it. Only downside is, as others have mentioned, there is a hard spot in the middle. Hoping that goes away once it’s broken in.
You know you have good charcoal when whole logs roll out of the bag! Fires up well with little sparking. Nice clean burn with no acrid smoke.
When I saw the blazaball in the Fogo videos, I thought that the little device was brilliant, why hasn't anyone come up with this before? Keeping the airflow to the starter pieces makes all the difference, and I'll never start another BBQ session without one. In fact, I'm going to order two more to help out on quicker cooks.
I found this company several years ago. The charcoal is great, big chunks. The customer service is great as well.
Thank you!
Out of all the charcoal I've tried, this stays burning the longest, least amount of ash, and larger chunks than other coal. It also has a nice smokey aroma.
Very large chunks, good for long smokes. I use the regular Fogo charcoal for grilling. Good price, quick delivery. Large size is an excellent value. Starts easily with just a crumpled paper towel and a little bit of cooking oil.
Charcoal came in just 2 days (last minute planning on my part). Chunks weren't broken up small and very little coal dust in the bag. Highly recommended and I keep referring.
I love fogo charcol it got great taste and also they come in big pieces not like chips in other which is easy to handle.
