I love that this brand comes with big chunks so you can have a nice long and slow smoke! I will definitely purchase again, Michigan.

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.

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.
