About 3 years ago I purchased two bundles at July 4th when Walmart had it for 2 bags for 8 dollars. Absolutely the worst charcoal I ever bought. When lighting, it smelled like a smut pot and smoked almost as bad. Once it was all lit it did not smell bad but would burn to ashes in very little time. I eventually used it up grilling steaks or hamburgers. In a smoker it would burn thru a pan full in about 3 hrs. The same amount of KBB in the smoker would go about 8 hrs.
Help a brother out here. Online reviews are overwhelmingly positive. What did y'all find objectionable? There's like 50+ reviews and scores 4.5. Only read one bad review and basically compared it to Kingsford. Were you grilling, smoking what type cooker? Aroma, smoke or lack of, longevity ?
Just curious
