Would RecommendI’ve been using Masterbuilt Lump Charcoal for years and it continues to be one of my go to choices. I love the quality of the charcoal and the clean smoke it provides.

Whether I’m cooking brisket, ribs, chicken or throwing steaks over hot lump charcoal, this charcoal consistently delivers. The quality, clean burn and versatility make Mas...

Long lasting Fuel
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never run out on fuel for the summer. I enjoy using MasterBuilt lump charcoal, it last longer than normal coal and doesn’t have a taste to it. I can’t get enough of this lump charcoal from MasterBuilt.

Bring the heat!
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed with the Masterbuilt lump charcoal. Great for getting a very hot fire going for searing meat and then a steady, even heat for cooking. Meat is expensive. Don't penny pinch on the fuel--it does make a difference!

Too Much Powder!
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Masterbuilt Lump Charcoal and was highly disappointed. For the price that I paid, I got literally a half of a bag full of powder. When I poured the bag out into my Charcoal bin for airtight sealing until use, I was shocked and angry. Then when I used it, I expected some smoked flavor. I was extremely disappointed with that as well. I recommend skipping this product and purchase another brand of lump charcoal.
