Key Features

20 pounds of 100 percent natural lump charcoal
  • Made from a blend of hardwood trees
  • Able to obtain the high temperatures needed for steakhouse-style searing
  • Natural lump charcoal burns cleaner, hotter and longer than standard charcoal
  • Big block chunks of charcoal burn slower and longer than regular natural lump
Kamado Joe excels in providing the essential grilling accessories to enhance your backyard BBQ experience. The Big Block charcoal is made from heavy, large pieces hardwood so it burns slower and longer. This 20 pound bag of 100 percent natural lump charcoal is made from a blend of hardwood trees, adding a signature charcoal flavor to food grilled and smoked on your ceramic Kamado grill. Kamado Joe lump charcoal burns hotter and longer, allowing you to cook at temperatures above 750 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is ideal for steakhouse-style searing, giving ribeyes and other steaks that signature sizzle off the grill. This charcoal can also be reused by simply adding a small amount of fresh charcoal to the existing charcoal, making it an efficient fuel for your kamado grill. Kamado Joe 100 percent natural lump charcoal is the choice of professional and competition chefs around the world. Make sure to never use lighter fluid or petroleum-based combustible fluids with the charcoal in your ceramic Kamado grill, as the ceramics will absorb the liquid and add an undesirable taste to your food.

Size of lumps were very small

After reading the reviews on different lump charcoals I settled on trying the Big Block XL brand from Kamado Joe. I liked the idea of the larger lump size to help with the airflow. Unfortunately, when I opened the bag the majority of the lump sizes were about the size of a 50 cent piece. The product worked okay but I paid 4x more than another brand that I have and it seemed to work about the same

Kamado joe lump charcoal

Burns with little ash. Many very large pieces that I had to break with hammer. I like another brand better for size

Hi Rick. I am glad you are enjoying your product. You do not need to break the lump charcoal with your hammer.If you are worried about wasting charcoal, leftover lump charcoal can be reused. Just cut airflow off by closing the vents to extinguish the charcoal. Then you can use the leftover pieces the next time you grill.

Great Charcoal!

This charcoal is the best! Burns hot in my KJ and when you're done cooking, you shut off the air supply and reuse any leftover coal for the next feast! Much better than any other charcoal that I have used. I highly recommend using it!

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.
