Size Name:8.8
This is some of the worst lump charcoal I have ever dealt with. A large proportion of the wood appears to be various types of pre-milled wood and I can only hope that it was unprimed. It burns with enough ash to make it nearly useless for anything but a quick steak, which is about all the time you have as it burns very quickly compared to other lump that have used. There are far too many "fines" and dust in the bag and virtually none of the contents are the size of "lumps" (my four bags were packed in an original sealed box, from Lowe's, so should have not suffered extensive shipping damage).
The following comments are not factored into my review and are based on information at http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpdatabase/lumpbag6.htm
There have been reports of plywood (contains glue which creates who knows what when it burns) and other strange items in the bag, including multiple reports of what was believed to be the fibrous ceramic insulating lining of the kiln.
It is stated that "For those of you interested in these things, the June, 2003 issue of Gourmet magazine indicates that Cowboy produces the lump sold as Martha Stewart, Whole Foods and Williams Sonoma. And of course, we already knew that Genuswine Lump is also Cowboy."
Note also that the "Naked Whiz" review finds that the ash levels are very low, in contrast to my experience.

This appeared to be mostly hardwood flooring scrap. Most of the pieces were small, making it poor to use in the grill.

I wish I had read the Amazon reviews before buying two bags of this worthless charcoal. After 25 years using LP gas grills, I decided to return to charcoal grilling and bought a Weber charcoal grill and two bags of Cowboy charcoal. When opening a bag of this product, I thought it odd that the pieces of charcoal varied from six inches long to tiny splinters. I found it impossible to generate enough heat to cook anything using this charcoal. I thought my charcoal grilling skills had failed, but I now know it was this worthless product. Avoid it!

I just used Cowboy charcoal for the first time yesterday. I won't say that all the bad reviews here are wrong, but I certainly did not have a similar experience. Read more

Zero. Zilch. Horrible
This is the worst charcoal I can ever imagine. It won't light with ANYTHING. You could probably use this stuff to put out fires. Please do not waste your money. Read more

Don't buy the Mexican version. Your must buy 3 bags to equal 2 bc the bags now contain glumps too big (5x4) to put in your gril.
I'm looking for better alternative.
