20lb Lump Charcoal for Grilling Suitable for Dining and Family Gatherings Party BBQ Charcoal 100% Natural Smokeless

Beg your pardon, but I really don't see how I can rate "value for money" as anything but 1-star with a price like this. At the end of the day it's heat to cook with - lots of ways to generate that at a far lower price. But from a performance standpoint, it seems to do a decent job and has versatility for a variety of cooking scenarios. I think it's worth considering where the product is made, and how much you want to trust what it's made of for cooking purposes - an observation, not an assertion.

We originally purchased these to use for grilling, but once we learned where they were made, we were hesitant to use them as such. Being made in China creates a trust factor concern for us. Instead, we tried using it for our campfire to keep it going for a long time. They do last for hours and are interestingly shaped into long bricks, but really difficult to light and doesn't cast a good heat.It looks like it is made out of maybe a bit of sawdust and floor sweepings.There are 2 boxes of 10lbs each.
