- Big block chunks of charcoal burn slower and longer than regular natural lump
Kamado Joe excels in providing the essential grilling accessories to enhance your backyard BBQ experience. The Big Block charcoal is made from heavy, large pieces hardwood so it burns slower and longer. This 20 pound bag of 100 percent natural lump charcoal is made from a blend of hardwood trees, adding a signature charcoal flavor to food grilled and smoked on your ceramic Kamado grill. Kamado Joe lump charcoal burns hotter and longer, allowing you to cook at temperatures above 750 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is ideal for steakhouse-style searing, giving ribeyes and other steaks that signature sizzle off the grill. This charcoal can also be reused by simply adding a small amount of fresh charcoal to the existing charcoal, making it an efficient fuel for your kamado grill. Kamado Joe 100 percent natural lump charcoal is the choice of professional and competition chefs around the world. Make sure to never use lighter fluid or petroleum-based combustible fluids with the charcoal in your ceramic Kamado grill, as the ceramics will absorb the liquid and add an undesirable taste to your food.

Very good and last long

My recent shipment of Big Block has been more than disappointing. Based upon the packaging (a bag within a bag within a bag), it appears that Kamado Joe is working with another and, in my opinion, inferior supplier/packer. Previously, the lumps were very big and dense. This shipment had absolutely no large blocks and the average size was not any different that Cowboy Lump Charcoal. I have tried to reach out to Kamado Joe but that seems like an impossibility. Not happy and am looking for a good replacement.

Use this in our Kamado Joe smoker. We've tried multiple different brands & this is by far the best. It's has many more big blocks throughout the bag - unlike other brands with a few big pieces and lots of crumbles. It has a range of better sizes overall that are perfect for maintaining consistent temperature. Plan to only purchase this from now on.

I bought two bags of the Kamado Joe charcoal. The first bag I opened was great. There was a wide variety of sizes with some nice extra large chunks. The next bag the pieces were much smaller. All of the chunks were under 2" in size. Not buying again

Quick delivery with friendly and courteous service. Staff member made my day with her willingness to satisfy my request. The product is the best for all types of grilling and slow cooking smoked pout and meats. My favorite place and products.

Great lump charcoal

After reading the reviews on different lump charcoals I settled on trying the Big Block XL brand from Kamado Joe. I liked the idea of the larger lump size to help with the airflow. Unfortunately, when I opened the bag the majority of the lump sizes were about the size of a 50 cent piece. The product worked okay but I paid 4x more than another brand that I have and it seemed to work about the same

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
