Kamado Joe Big Block XL Lump Charcoal 20lb bags Bulk – 20 bags half pallet

Big Block Charcoal. Largest blocks I have seen thus far. Great smoke, great flavor.

The Best there is! I have tried others when I run out and cannot get this, but they are small pieces and breakdown very quickly. I end up using more charcoal.

Amazing 🤩. So good for everything! Dinner, break fast ! Sooo good

nice size chunkc. i run a komado joe jr but theres plenty of a mix in these bags and the giant ones i save for longer cooks or break them up . nice to have the big stuff even with a small grill

Fast lighting. Lights fast. Burns slow and hot very little ash Excellent product

Got To Have Some Good Lump. You only need a little lump to burn a long time and Kamado's lump is GREAT!!!

Awesome Charcoal. This is my go to charcoal! It burns clean, lasts long, and great price.

Great overall. Kamado Joe Big Block charcoal is a great general use fuel for your grill. You can order for delivery in quantities up to half and full pallets or you can find it at retail stores like Lowe's.

Not as uniform as i expected. I was disappointed in quality in the "XL Block" as it was more L & M with 1 or 2 XL chunks in the 20# bag. If this was marketed as Large i would actually agree but it's just not what i expected to get at all.

The "One" Charcoal. This is the only charcoal to use. The heat is incredible and the flavor it adds to your food is outstanding. If you want other flavors add - smoking chips. The Big Block burns long an clean.

Works great. This burns for a long time and is good for long cooks

LOVE THE FLAVOR THIS BRINGS. I ONLY USE KJ LUMP CHARCOAL. LOVE THE FLAVOR THIS BRINGS

High Quality coal. Burns long and hard. Will definitely be buying more

Lump charcoal. I’ve been using the Kamado Joe lump charcoal since purchasing my Jamado Joe grill. It never lets me down!

Long lasting. Just love how easy these blocks light and how long they last.

XL chunks are the best. I’ve honestly not used many different brands, but these have a great smoke flavor - not to strong or bitter - and are easy to start, burn very consistently, and don’t leave a bunch of ash to clean out of the hopper. They are my Go To lump coal

Great. I really enjoyed it and it's so good. Wow. I really enjoyed it.

Great product, when on sale. The lump charcoal is fairly consistent in size and usually in the 2-4" lump size. There are usually some very large chunks, 4"-8+", that I set aside in a separate bag to use for lengthy smoking. When available in the somewhere near $1/lb price, it's worth stocking up.

Best lump. Clean burn and lasts long. Great flavor too. Big chunks in the bag

Best Burn Yet! Great product. The Argentinian wood burns very even and for a long time. You get multiple burns from much of the same charcoal unlike most lump charcoal that makes an ash out of itself after just one time.

Awesome charcoal for BBQ goodness. Great long lasting BBQ goodness that stay hot for a long time

Big Block. It's all I use and I've had great success with this product

Great Product. Big Block XL Lump Charcoal has become my go-to fuel because it hits the sweet spot of value and performance. The first thing you notice is the chunk size—it’s loaded with big pieces instead of a bag of crumbs, which makes it easier to stack, lights consistently, and keeps airflow strong in the firebox. Where it really wins is burn time. It runs hot and steady for a long time, which is perfect for overnight cooks and long low-and-slow sessions without constantly topping off. Even on higher-temp cooks, it holds heat well and recovers quickly after opening the lid. For the price, you get a bag that lasts and performs like premium lump should: big chunks, long burns, and solid value. If you want fewer reloads and more consistent cooks, Big Block XL is an easy recommendation.

Great fuel. It's the only lump i will use. Tried others but they just dont stand up.

Great quality. Much better than other brands I had tried. Others made meat taste smokey. These do not

The best lumps I've found. I can't find this too often here in KY but when I do I stock up. It lights fast, burns well with no sparking at all. After shutting it down after cooking there still a decent supply to reuse. I'll keep using it whenever I can get it.

Good charcoal. Bought this when I needed charcoal for my new classic Joe. This was available and I knew it would work well. Not disappointed with the performance at all. It did have large amount of small pieces and but carries a premium price, that’s why I gave it 4 stars vs 5. Will I buy it again, probably. But, maybe not use it exclusively.

Nothing comes close! I have tried so many different charcoals over the years. I stumbled on Kamado charcoal just by chance. I was not expecting what it was going to make my chicken taste like. Its like going to a great Chinese place and the fried rice has that insane smoky flavor from how hot the wok gets. There isn't even a word that lets me express it correctly. Real charcoal flavor like if Paul Bunyan grilled it.

Fuel. Great quality Charcoal, while its a bit pricey, the taste of the food makes it well-worth it.

Good product. bought with my initial purchase of the Kamado Joe classic 1. I am very pleased with the performance of these chunks. They burn evenly and work well for long cooks or hot and fast!

Great charcoal, keeps heat for a long period of time!

Excellent charcoal. The charcoal is excellent. Big chunks. Easy to light. Holds temp.

Best charcoal. I have had my joe classic for about 6 months. I have used big box stores charcoal. I bought a1/2 pallet of this charcoal and have to learn my joe all over. It gets hot faster, stays hot longer and you use less charcoal. Over all it's cheaper than a big box store.

Solid band of lump charcoal. The brand I use whenever I can find it. It's not easy to find around here but when I do find it I stock up. Consistently, it's mostly larger chunks throughout

My family’s favorite lump for flavor. The Big Block lump coal has definitely provided the cleanest, best tasting and smelling lump charcoal (we have tried plenty). It has has the largest chunks for longer cooks, on a consistent basis. I tend to save the largest chunks for when I am, in fact, doing a long smoking session @ lower temperatures. It’s definitely not the cheapest (reason I’ve tried several others), but definitely a family pleaser and therefore the regular lump coal in my Kamado Joe!

Best charcoal out there. I cheated once and tried a different brand, that wont happen again. From burn time to temperature and ease of lighting this is the best charcoal hands down .

lovin the big chunks. I've used this in my kamado grill for both low-and-slow smoking and high-heat searing. The lump charcoal lights clean, burns hot, and lasts a long time. Most chunks are big and dense — perfect for airflow and heat retention

Best Lump. I’ve tried almost all of the top brands of lump and I find myself coming back to the Big Block. It is the most consistent in terms of sustaining heat and I have almost none of that annoying popping. The flavor is not overpowering so your wood chunks can do its job. This summer I did a brisket for 10 hours then added a small amount of coals to the basket and it went another 4 hours to cook 3 racks of ribs. Fantastic product!

KJ Lump is the BEST! I have used KJ Lump for over 10 years and found it to be consistent over that time for all my cooks.

Best Lump Charcoal. This is the best and biggest lump charcoal you can find, and I’ve tried several other brands.

Best Lump charcoal period! Love this charcoal, it’s the only kind I buy. Big block always has a lot of large chunks for slow burns while smoking. This is my go too charcoal.

Best Flavor. Kamado Joe charcoal burns and tastes the best. Best pricing if you compare competitors and again it just burns better than other coal.

Can't beat it! This is absolutely the best lump charcoal there is. I go out of my way to buy it every time I need to stock up. When you're investing $$$ on meat and your smoker, you also need to invest in good quality lump and this is the best there is.

Big Joe lump. The best for long cooks. Lights easily. Lasts long time.

Some Serious Lump. The KJ Big Block XL Lump Charcoal is, by far, my preferred lump for my Classic Joe cooks! Nothing worse than getting a new bag of other lump charcoals and finding it mostly crumbs, its a Royal rip off! I have never had this problem with Big Block XL Lump Charcoal. Great lump, I highly recommend this product.

Not just lumps of coal. I made a huge purchase and bought multiple bags because I’m such a huge fan. I use a starter to light it up in a chimney and it burns slowly and perfectly every time! I love the smell of this charcoal and it breaks up very nicely when it burns.

Quality Versatile Charcoal. Good mix and consistency of lump sizes. Mostly medium to large with a few very large pieces in each bag. Works great for grilling and low slow smokes. Very little smokiness with the charcoal allowing for fine control of smoke with wood.

Real wood chunks! I only use Kamado Big Block for my cooks. Real wood chunks that burn hot and slow. Won’t use anything else.

Best Lump Charcoal available. Purchased at assortment of suppliers when available (warm weather). Buy up to 3 bags at a time due to my distance to stores where it is available. Easy to light without all the sparking of other brands. Clean fresh tasting smoked meats when doing long smokes where other brands get to smoky and often, a bitter taste. The only reason for a 4 Star evaluation on value is due to the lack of availability in rural settings (25 miles to nearest supplier).

Fantastic Charcoal. No, you do not have to use Joe charcoal with your Komodo Joe. But.... the quality is there. It is excellent charcoal, lights quickly and maintains its fire. Highly recommend.

Big Chunks. I love using Kamado Joe Big block. Lots of big pieces and not too much dust.

Consistent Charcoal Sizes and Long Burning. Some people may think charcoal is charcoal, let me tell you nothing could be further from the truth. Your charcoal selection can make or break your cook. There are a number of characteristics that a charcoal must have to make it great. Arguably the most important is the consistency in size of all the pieces in the bag. Some brands you’ll find giant chunks and millions of small almost unusable pieces. When you pour that type of charcoal in the grill it lessens the amount of airflow between pieces and can be hard to light or stay lit resulting in uneven cooks. Kamado Joes XL charcoal has large consistently sized pieces and I’ve never gotten a bag with small pieces or rocks in the bottom. I know what I’m getting when I use this charcoal and that’s good food. Another very important characteristic is the quality of wood used to make the charcoal. I’ve bought charcoal that looked like it was made from old 2x4’s and the food’s taste reflected that. Kamado Joes charcoal is high quality hardwood without the weird aftertastes. I would recommend this charcoal to anyone.

Lump Charcoal - Kamado Joe The Only Way To Go! Combine the best 100% natural lump charcoal with Kamado Joe's stainless steel charcoal basket - long lasting perfection every time.

Great charcoal. It's a great product. It's essential for the best Kamado experience.

The only Lump Charcoal I use. I have tried many different brands during the 8 or so years of grilling. Some have too small pieces, some are too sparky, some have strange taste. I like Big Block for it's consistent taste and burn. The lump size can vary from bag to bag so I usually work from two bags at once so I can mix and match the size I want for the type of cook I am doing. This allows me to tailor my cook to meet my needs. It is really a good value when buying in half or full pallet quantities.

KJ lump coal. Awesome burn and wonderful flavor; wlll continue to use for a while

High Quality Lump Charcoal. I’ve never gone wrong with Big Block XL Lump Charcoal. It get consistently large chunks and even cooking. Definitely one of the best options out there to fuel your KJ.

So hot! Love it! Perfect for low n slow or 🔥! Big lumps but not too big!

Great Charcoal. My go to Charcoal in my grill, heats evenly and quickly for great cooking whether you are grilling or smoking.

Best Lump Charcoal on the Market. I would definitely recommend.

Great for long smokes. Bought these for longer smokes. Work great. Also great for mixing with smaller charcoal

XL charcoal. I find the charcoal to be the best I've used to date. Burns great. Really happy there are multiple large chick's along with intermediate ones as well

Best charcoal. I bought 2 bags of charcoal and I love it smells great and easy to work with and lasts for ever. I will definitely buy more

My favorite lump charcoal. This is one of my go to's when I need charcoal. This stuff lights very easily, does not produce a ton of sparks like other brands, and burns forever! It has the perfect charcoal taste that I love, however is not so overpowering that it ruins my food. Works great with smoking logs too!

Great Lump Charcoal. This is a great product and one I prefer along with Jealous Devil. I love the size of the chunks and the flavor.

Burns long. Smoked a pork butt and never had to add extra charcoal , burned steady for 8 hours , and tasted better than anything I’ve ever done on a pellet grill

Charcoal. This is some of the best lump charcoal I’ve used! Holds its heat and burns longer!

Good. I’ve used a bunch of different charcoal and this stuff is amazing, low ash and burns forever. I love the decent size chunks.

Big chunk charcoal. This came with my Kamado Joe when I bought it back in June and I love it.

The Best! I was ordering some parts for my Camaro Joe and decided to try this charcoal since I was over the free shipping threshold. Turned out to be well worth it. I now don’t even care if I have to pay shipping. By far the biggest, longest lasting, cleanest, charcoal I have found. Far superior to the green stuff.

Love Kamado Joe Fuel. You cannot beat the quality and taste of the Kamado Joe Lump Charcoal. The size, burn and taste are consistent bag after bag. Give it a try, you wont regret it!

Long burn. Great smoke and long, slow burn. Best wood charcoal I have found! Nice large chunks in every bag.

Works fast! i love the xl charcoal chunks! they get the fire started instantly and then im ready to get my gril on

Outstanding Charcoal – Long-Lasting & Flavorful. I’ve used a lot of different lump charcoals over the years, but Komodo Joe’s Big Block stands out as the clear winner. I run both a Big Joe and a Joe Jr., and this charcoal performs perfectly in each. The extra-large chunks light easily, burn hot and steady, and give off a clean, smoky flavor that elevates everything from quick weeknight cooks to long, low-and-slow sessions. What really makes the Big Block shine is how long it lasts compared to other brands I can find locally. I get significantly more cook time per load, which not only saves money in the long run but also keeps me from having to constantly refuel mid-cook. On top of that, the flavor is unmatched—just the right hint of wood-smoked taste without any harsh or chemical after-notes. If you’re looking for the best fuel for your Komodo Joe—or really any charcoal grill—this is the perfect choice. Durable, flavorful, and dependable. Once you try it, you won’t want to go back to store-bought brands. --- Want me to rework this into a shorter “review style” blurb (like something you’d post on Amazon), or keep it as the more detailed, blog-style writeup?

The Best Coal. I’ve tried all other brands to save money, but none of them can compete with Kamado Joe coal. Clean burning every cook!

Good Charcoal. Charcoal is big chunks and burns well to keep the heat temperature consistant, and is easy to light

One of the best values in lump charcoal. I've tried different price points for charcoal, and I always end up with this or another red bag for price, size distribution and lack of sparks. Just great quality at a good price.

Good purchase. Wood chunks are large and long-lasting. Great for high temps and quick starts, also good for long cooks

best overall. The Big Block XL lump burns hot, clean, and lasts a long time. Lights easily, holds steady temps for hours, and gives food great flavor. Best lump I’ve used

Most consistent and makes for great flavor. I have used Kingsford, Royal Oak, FOGO, and Jealous Devil charcoal for grilling and smoking. Most bags have varying size chunks, mostly small. The consistency of Kamado Joe lump charcoal makes every grill or smoking session predictable and easy. The flavor is outstanding and doesn’t get in the way of whatever smoke wood I use. Really great charcoal!

The ideal fuel for low and slow cooking. True to its name, Big Block delivers exactly that: big pieces of clean burning, long lasting lump charcoal. No rocks, no debris, just clean reliable fuel for smoking and grilling. It’s great stuff, truly a premium product.

KJ Black Lump coal. I bought this a month ago and I am so happy with each and every piece

Good charcoal. Burns for a very long time. Food taste great highly recommended

Lump charcoal. Overall this has been my go to charcoal. The fact that I can purchase locally is a big plus. Over the years I have noticed that the size of the lumps have been getting smaller.

Excellent product. I have been using the Kamado Joe XL wood chunks for years. They burn very slow and easy and produce much less ash than other products that I had tried before.

Great stuff! Love this charcoal. Big chunks and burns hot and long.

Slow burn. These pieces of lump charcoal are superior to other brand’s offerings. They are fairly easy to liight and they stay burning for the entire time you need them To cook Your food.

Big block charcoal. Outstanding charcoal. The heat and duration are one of a kind. Beats the big briquet company by miles

Best Charcoal Out There! I only use the Kamado Joe Big Block XL Lump Charcoal. I find it to be the best out there and very consistent.

Great deal!! I bought a half pallet of charcoal last month and split it with a neighbor. Great deal for a great product. Won't be needing to go to the store to buy charcoal for a year!

Great Charcoal. This charcoal is always consistent in size and the taste of my food is delicious.

Excellent product. Bought this from ACE Harware. Burns long and clean!

Lump charcoal surprise. I purchased a red bag of big charcoal for my kettle Joe I was hesitant because it was more expensive but boy was I surprised.it lasts longer burns clean no rocks left over afterwards like my previous brand. I’m definitely hooked on this product for all my cooks thank you for creating a great reliable product

Excellent Charcoal. I would never use another type again, this charcoal gives perfect flavor and has a long burn time

Great High Quality Charcoal. I purchased some of this charcoal to try in my KJ Classic. I was impressed with the high quality and larger pieces. Compared to three other brands that I have tried, it is clear that this stuff is superior. Pricing is a bit high on this charcoal, but you get what you pay for! I do find that for nightly cooks where I am doing steaks, burgers, and other quick cooking foods, I get several cooks out of a load of charcoal. Simply close the dampers right after cooking and you will have a significant amount of charcoal left for the next cook. This leads to lower charcoal use and the bag lasting longer.

Slow burn for the low and slow cooks. The Kamado XL Lump Charcoal has the best I have found. The large chunks burn slowly and evenly throughout my cooks. I can set and forget for 4-6 hours on a half basket of XL Lump... It's worth the little extra scratch to get the best results.

Top choose of wood. Smokes well, solid burn, and always dependable. Won’t look at another brand.

Great value. The pack of big block xl lump charcoal is great for long low and slow cooks

Low and slow. Very good for long cooks. Nice sized large chunks of coal. Medium Smokey flavor

Best Lump. I was happy to find this at my local Lowes - good price, consistent heat, long lasting
