Overview

Lighting quickly and burning hot, this FOGO lump charcoal is made from dense Central American hardwoods with hand selected pieces and no added ingredients. It is sold in a single large bag for grilling and smoking.

The reason to buy is the natural, additive-free fuel in large pieces that the seller says lights fast and sears hard. The seller also says restaurants use it and that it is produced sustainably from tree trimmings and trees marked for removal. The limitation is missing burn-time data.

Who it's for

Backyard grillers and smokers who want a natural hardwood fuel that lights quickly and burns hot will use it. People who want uniform briquettes or precise burn-time figures should look at other fuels.

Lump charcoal is wood burned down to carbon, and dense hardwood gives high heat and a hot sear. The seller says it is ready to grill in about a quarter of an hour. Piece size varies, so airflow and loading affect how steadily it burns.
