What is the best lump coal brand?
I have read numerous articles and tests and am wondering if anyone can tell me in their opinion what the best lump coal brand is? I use ozark oak and have not ventured off to any other brands. I take it back I tried cowboy was not impressed. I am open for suggestions and willing to try something new.

How much are you paying for Ozark? I pay 5.98/8.8# bag for RO in the green bag. IMO is a really good lump charcoal. Being the best is subjective. If it doing what you want it to do than, keep using it.

I have had really good luck with Dragons Breath. I had never heard of it up until about a year ago when I saw some teams at a local contest using it. Not sure if it is sold everywhere

I like wicked good; however, the last bag was a little iffy. It didn't burn as long and "popped". Have also had good experiences with Royal Oak.

My favorites are:
The Good One Lump Kamado Joe Lump (North American Blend) Vision 100% Oak Lump I have also had pretty good luck with Big Green Egg Lump and Royal Oak Lump. I had a so-so experience with Wicked Good, but I've heard they have had some QC issues lately, so maybe I got a bad bag. I avoid Frontier Lump and Cowboy Lump.

I use RO. I tried some Best of the West oak because they were out of RO and it sucked.

Size of pieces in the bag vary from small to huge. Just break up the huge with a brick layers hammer and you got the size you need for whatever you cook. |
