Questions & Answers

Do I have a chance to use this on the BGE?

It will be a pleasure to have Fogo as your cook in

What if there's a burning ban in place? Can this be used in such an event? When we are heading camping, we were told that we can use charcoal instead of wood in the fire pit. Based on what you said, I assume it's ?

When there is a burning ban, you may not burn ANYTHING! You can tell just by looking at It's a no-no to bang!

Are there additives such as borax and petroleum paraffin in this biochar? Can it be used as biochar?

My food tasted great even though I have no idea if it has these ingredients!

There may be a good reason for the $25 price tag. If one bag costs 92, and two bags are double the cost and four bags are quadruple the cost, how much does each bag cost? If you buy multiple bags, does that seem like a rip-off?

However, there is

This candle is easy to light and holds a good flame
5/5

The only charcoal I use for grilling is hardwood charcoal, which I had run out of at the time- My brand was purchased early in the pandemic, so I researched what I could get online. After doing a lot of research, I settled on this brand, and I'm happy I would have made a better deal at the store if I had known prior to buying it Despite it being a big heavy bag, and it coming well, I bought it I'm still storing the bag in the box we made for it (so far I have no problem storing it outside of the box). Charcoal lumps range in sizes from very small and clean pieces to some that are quite large and beautiful. Normally, I start a fire with charcoal using the chimney method, and it usually takes a while to get going, but this charcoal seems to light in less than half the time it takes me to light a fire. My grill burns well, and it lasts for quite a while, since I'm able to close it and save half the energy required to heat the food Using charcoal as a source of energy The pieces will fit in your hands next time (probably because they are so large to begin.

What are the best ingredients for an excellent You may want to try Your charcoal grill does not have to go to waste
5/5

This is amazing! Buying another briquet will never make sense to me! You don't taste lighter fluid in your food and it's easy to light. In order to improve the sear of my meat, I was looking for a way to raise the grates that hold the charcoal. It was a surprise to find lump charcoal in the store, so I tried it out. There is no doubt that it burns hotter and for longer than I was able to light it in 20 minutes, and it was ready to use. It browned my steak nicely in approximately two and a half minutes after I put it on. It took another two and a half minutes for the steak to finish it was seared on the outside and medium rare on the inside just how we like it. I think it's well worth the price. It's more expensive than traditional charcoal, but I think it's worth it.

This is the best lump charcoal I have ever used
4/5

It is the best charcoal for grilling that I have ever used (although it is not good for smokers). The pieces are large, there is no odor, the flame is very fast and it is extremely It is possible to get my Weber grill to 550F when the lid is better charcoal than what you can buy at the store. A restaurant kitchen's goal is to cook in the shortest time. So to get the job done, it is important that it is hot. There will be 8oz of charcoal in this package. Burgers should be 90F when internal temperature is reached in six minutes You should sear the meat for 7 minutes when it's not on the coals (in reverse). With the Weber lid off, you can slide the burgers over the coals and cook for 3 minutes on each side until they reach 125 degrees and have a perfectly charred crust. Total cooking time is 12 to 13 minutes. Everything should be ready to go before you start because it moves Sadly, I found out later that I can buy it locally for quite a bit less. The reason for 4 stars is because of that.

No product compares to this lump charcoal
5/5

It is so much better than the competition that it does not even come My Big Green Egg is ten years old and I've been cooking on it for over ten years now I have tried every kind of lump charcoal that exists. The Fogo team beats them every time!.

Thus far, I am not impressed
3/5

For the first time in my life, I have not been impressed by this charcoal I used it to smoke a pork butt, but it didn't last nearly as long as a bag of white/blue briquettes that was half the price. Lots of small bits, and the dust is so bad that it seeps through the bag. It's easy to turn on the lights. Although the temperature holds up well, it is no better than briquettes, I know my fire well. So save your money and don't waste part of your.

The overall quality of the work was excellent
5/5

Briquettes will never be a part of my life again. In every respect, lump charcoal is superior to other forms of charcoal. This smoke doesn't add a lot of flavor to the smokiness of Forgo. It seems easier to regulate the temperature with the Fogo than with the Kiawe Hawaii lump charcoal I had been using. It also lights faster and evenly, has less ash, and burns longer. In the evening, gogo lasts long enough so you can cook your food and eat, then have the kids make smores over it. This is excellent. Various kinds of lump charcoal like kiawe, mesquite, and mesquite add different levels of flavor and smokiness, which is an unfortunate side effect. Charcoal lumps made from Fogo provide a more neutral flavor.

I think this charcoal is the best I've ever used
5/5

Opened the box and was surprised by what I found 35lb of charcoal found in a fogo bag. It appeared that my bag was much lighter than I had expected. In the end, it turned out to be a great mistake because the charcoal is excellent. Most of the chips were large chunks, very few of them were small pieces. It burnt really smoothly without sparking too, since the larger chunks were larger. We will definitely buy from this company.

These pieces are tiny and do not meet my needs
3/5

I was hoping to get a bag full of a variety of small, medium, and large pieces of lump for a variety of pots. There was nearly no gold to be found in the bag, and the bulk of it was quarter to silver dollar sized lumps. Next time, I will order direct from Fogo since I am not sure if this is a second-rate product from Amazon.
