It is comparable to BGE lump in quality, although it did not contain the few huge pieces that we usually find in a bag of BGE lump. It was nearly all useable size, with pieces averaging about 3". Just a little dust in the bottom of the bag, along with a few chips. We did not find any unburned pieces of wood, and no funny stuff. A few pieces included bark, maybe 3-4 in the entire bag. There was some scrap, but nothing fancy. The lump lit easily and quickly, and did not smoke excessively. It had a light woodsy, smokey aroma that added flavor but did not overpower delicate foods. Would we buy it again? You bet. Update: The above review was contributed. We recently were able to buy a bag ourselves and we intended to replace the review with our own. However, basically our review would have been roughly the same, so we will just add our recommendation. We found no scrap in our bag, so I guess we like it even more! We give it our Highly Recommended rating. To the left is the rating that our readers have given this charcoal.
