Fogo All-Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal for smoking All-natural hardwood lump charcoal is ideal for smoking and reverse-searing type cooking. Not only that, but it’s a perfect choice for kamado grills such as Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Primo, and many more. It imparts a mild oak flavor to your grilled food.

The 35-pound bag contains 11.1 pounds of charcoal, 18.6 pounds medium, 3.5 pounds small lumps, 1.6 pounds chips, and dust. If you want to place the charcoal on a small grill, you might need to break up the larger pieces with a hammer.

You will need five sheets newspaper to light the charcoal. The best part is the lack of sparkly with very few pops. The fire spreads slowly, so the charcoal burns with moderate smoke.

Charcoal burns at a maximum temperature 859F degrees, which is an average temperature in comparison to other brands. On Fogo lump charcoal has a bright side. It burns longer and produces more ash. It can be used at a lower temperature for slow cooking that lasts longer than 20 hours.

The whole batch takes just 15 minutes to reach the optimal fire rate, so you can get grilling immediately.
