5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Charcoal Lumps, Low cost, better than expensive brands
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
Lets be honest, when using a charcoal grill, we need fuel that lasts, can be reused when not fully spent and allows for the maximum temps at the longest intervals. Jealous Devil lump does all of that. This coal burns super hot, lasts longer than other lumps, and costs much less than the vast majority of competitors. What I also loved was that the lumps were not tiny. The lumps were substantial. Additionally, the lumps did not spark or cause any issues, they just burned efficiently, effectively and did not add additional flavors not wanted from a cook. The lump allowed the wood chunks to do their job while they did theirs. I highly recommend this lump to any coal burning griller. Dont be fooled by higher cost lump. This stuff is amazing at a fraction of the cost of others. Just look at YouTube for evaluations to see how this coal stacks up.

Burns well , good quality and the most important thing is that it consists of good size pieces. Not a lot of small pieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best value for the money lump charcoal I have found
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2023
Over the years I have experimented with a good number of “high end” and “restaurant grade” lump charcoal brands which are good but are typically priced so high that it was difficult to justify the expense. I have also frequently used the economy brands available at Walmart simply due to the lower price since I do a lot of grilling. I recently picked up a bag of Jealous Devil at Walmart, there among the “economy brands” priced just a few dollars more so I decided to give it a try. I have found Jealous Devil burns hotter and cleaner than any of the other premium brands I have tried, and obviously beats the pants off the economy brands (e.g Cowboy, Royal Oak, etc.) It has absolutely no sparks upon ignition, mostly large to medium chunks with very little dust at the bottom of the bag, and provides a good light smoke flavor. Based on the bag I picked up at Walmart, I decided to order this 35# bag online at Amazon. I expect the same performance. My only negative comment on the online order is that the bag was poorly packed into the shipping box with no padding, and thus arrived with several small tears which resulted in a small amount of messy black dust.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but expensive
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020
I am a newcomer for using my Kamado Joe the last six months. I have only tried 3 or 4 brands but I like this one the best. The flavor to me is almost neutral in the food so I add flavor by throwing in wood chunks throughout the charcoal. The temperature control is quite even but I can't say if that is due to charcoal or give credit to the Kamado Joe. Either way, I don't fuss much with temperature once the oven is up to temperature.

My complaints:
1) I think this product is very expensive. $28 for 20 lb bag at the BBQ store and a whopping $46 per bag shipped from Amazon. I bought from Amazon this last time because of staying at home during the virus situation. So much for free shipping, they just raise the price of the product to compensate. My 2 bags were punctured from the Amazon delivery even though they were protected in a shipping box.
2) Yes, every lump charcoal bag is going to have dust, but my opinion is there is a lot of dust in the bag. I transfer the charcoal from the bag into a plastic storage bin and when I'm finished my hands and clothes are black. I have unsuccessful in keeping the charcoal dust contained.
3) More on the bag - I find it difficult to pour the chunks from the bag into the storage container. The zip lock top keeps the opening too small and I have to pull the chunks out by hand to keep it flowing. Hence, why I get so dirty. Next time, I am just going to cut the top off completely to create a larger opening. If you keep the charcoal in the bag for storage, this may not be an issue for you.

Aside from my complaining, I think this is a good product and my cooks are turning out great and the food is delicious.

Best value in a lump charcoal when you figure price per pound. Is always a good size lump, not many small pieces, which is good for a slow and low burn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning: You'll never use regular charcoal again
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2016
I recently just converted back to charcoal from gas and wanted to find a good lump wood charcoal. Luckily I found it on my first try. I will never use another brand after using Jealous Devil. I've tried cooking everything on this (even slow cooked on my grill using a groker) and everything tastes so much better. This stuff burns HOT, which will help you get that nice sear that will make your grilling legendary. I love the fact that the wood is all different sizes, from smaller than typical coals to as big as softball, which is clutch if you need to add more to the fire and control temp. It also fires up faster, flares up a lot less, and produces almost no smoke or ash compared to store bought charcoal, which are always people's biggest complaints about charcoal grills.

After using this for awhile, I have some tips that I have learned along the way. First, it's burned wood so it has a black residue on it that will make your hands black if you pick it up. I just use my BBQ gloves to solve this issue (you'll want a pair anyway for my next tip). Don't ever use fluid with this unless you want your food to taste like it. I have a Weber top pour type and Charbroil bottom release type chimney and I prefer bottom release. Like I said, this stuff gets hot, so the bottom release is easier and safer, but you'll want those BBQ gloves in either case. You probably will also want to use a 2 zone or some other indirect heat setup to ensure you have an area to get food off the fire. Finally, if you are frugal, you can actually reuse a lot of the wood in your next fire with no reduction in performance. Happy grilling!
