Royal Oak BBQ All Natural Premium 8 Pound Bag Lump Charcoal Starter Hardwood

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gifted this to my dad who is our grill master - he said it was easy to light and work with. Little residue - great flavor on the steaks he grilled. The grill master approves!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like this charcoal!! We cookout all the time and this will be our go to from now on!! The packaging is OK. The charcoal puts out great heat and less ash residue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's start with a basic thing that seems small, but actually makes a difference - a great, easy to open bag. Now, let's get into it - when you are starting up the charcoal, plan for so extra time (compared to other similar products) to heat up and get it to a clean burn state. Once it is up to temp, great burn and good flavor. Long lasting charcoal. Size of charcoal ranges (small to large) and I found that the variable sizes actually helped with the burn - heck, if you wanted to, you could cherry pick what you need for this specific grilling. Nothing crazy when it comes to ashes, very easy to clean up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well lasts longer then some other charcoal I’ve used. It has a good flavor and heats up evenly. I will purchase again it’s a decent size pack too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, I was kinda let down by this charcoal. It might be ok if someone is using a chimney, and uses the entire bag for a very quick grill. The charcoal is in various sizes, and quite a bit fell through before I even started. Once lit, it spit out hot cinders constantly. By the time the coals were ready, I barely managed to put anything on the grill before the heat fizzled out. I ended up having to cook everything inside on the stove.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It burns well and gets hot quickly. I will say that within the bag, there are some scraps that are not charcoal, as you can see in my image. The food I grilled, burgers, came out delicious.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Royal Oak 100% all natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal I must say is better than you typical briquettes. It smells so much better. It feels so much better when you’re handling it. It’s a lot cleaner. It also gives that wood smell. It lights so much easier. It gave the steaks I cooked a wonderful smokiness. We have a Trager grill that we have at our main house. Used this at our vacation home in our Weber grill. Love it. Gave that same wonderful wood smokiness as the Trager. This is definitely going to be our new charcoal for our grill. I highly recommend this for anyone that wants wonderfully smoky food. I received this item for my honest review from Royal oak and influencer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Royal Oak 100% All Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal lights quick and burns hot and quick. It’s good for burgers and steaks. Steaks taste great when cooked on my Komado.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this product. When placing the coal into thw bbq. They did not leave as much residue on my hands like I thought it would. The heat that these held onto for grilling was amazing. Made grilling very quick and easy. It left a smoky oak flavor on the items we grilled, and the flavor was not overpowering. The packaging was perfect and a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be, which i also loved. These are perfect for the warmer weather and I will be purchasing all summer long. We do a lot ofngrilling in our house during the warmer months and these were perfect and very handy to have. I would highly recommend these to friends and family all summer long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me so long to be able to use this charcoal due to all of the rain. But man am I happy that I finally got to. I’ve been an avid kingsford charcoal user for a while (still love them, no shade) but this was just. Amazing. It made my food taste so good, and the smoke that it put into our food was just.. delicious. I can’t wait for my next grilling session. Also, the cleanup? A little nicer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only lump charcoal we use! It’s affordable, produces great flavor and the quality is chefs kiss. My husband prefers lump over briquettes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love this charcoal! got it for my F.I.L and he uses it all the time! lets out good heat, doesn’t leave a lot of ashy residue and degrades down with time (if you’re into the environment 🤭)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This charcoal has a nice bbq Smokey smell to it. It is easy to light and is great for any charcoal grill or smoker that takes charcoal. The package is sturdy and seems very lightweight compared to other charcoal packages.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lump, randomly shaped, charcoal smells good, right out of the bag, like cooking wood. The top pieces are large, smaller in bottom, issue need to put it in a tub to sort through for what might be best for a given fire. It lights REALLY easily (used fluid), unlike other lump the burn lasts really long. Worked much better than regular charcoal in damp conditions. We usually buy store brand charcoal, this is just slightly more expensive in 16 lb size comparison, at 8lbs, its a bit more expensive. Should work well in our smoker (with wood added).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great charcoal! Burns well and evenly. We would definitely consider purchasing this! It Worked really well on our Kamado and Weber smoky mountain smokers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I come from a large family of grilling snobs. Using a gas grill is a mortal sin, so having the perfect charcoal is a must. Royal Oak is the ONLY charcoal they will even consider.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this royal oak lump charcoal is great for grilling. it lights fast, burns hot, and gives food a nice smoky flavor. it’s 100% natural hardwood, which is a big plus. the 8 lb bag is a good size for a few solid cooks. overall, a reliable choice for backyard bbq

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not really one to grill but this product made it fun! Loved the taste it added to the bbq and all my guest loved it as well. Definitely want to try the other flavors as well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used a variety of lump charcoal over the years, and Royal Oak’s 100% Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal stands out for its quality, smell, and consistency. Right out of the bag, the chunks are a nice mix of medium to large pieces with very little dust or unusable scrap. It’s made in the USA and contains no additives, which means clean burning and a more authentic wood-fired flavor in everything I grill. The charcoal lights quickly with a chimney starter—usually within 10–12 minutes—and reaches cooking temperature fast. The blend of real hardwoods like oak and hickory, gives meat a subtle smoky taste without overpowering the food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this flavored charcoal. The chicken, burgers, and sausages all came out tasting smoky and full of flavor. Charcoal burned up really well and quicker than the big lumps of charcoal. Wish the bag was resealable with zip lock or other resealable option. Would love to try out their other flavors.
