R.I.P. parts 3 and 4 lol Seriously though, these were cool comparisons, hope he comes through.

Great videos a lot of good charcoal and great info from you thanks for the upload!!! Keep em coming!!

Interesting, fun video, looking forward to the rest of the series. Cheers.

So great, Craig! Your first lump charcoal test was the first BBQ video I watched after I got my WSM on May 16. I couldn’t believe you lived in Gloucester because you didn’t seem like a Northeasterly type of guy! It’s been so fun getting into this helped along by your content. Your videos definitely are the most artistic and your youthful energy, humor and analytical mind are so infectious. I drive past Foster’s Grill Store every time I go to Good Harbor and feel like I’m passing a famous place! Something really powerful about this whole BBQ way. Going to join NEBS. Maybe that’s my new slogan...Slow down with the BBQ way. Thanks so much!

Awesome job! Feeling blessed for having subscribed to you!

Awesome to have this real world experiment to look back on. I ordered some Fogo yesterday and am excited to try it.

Love the channel man.. Im just starting to get into this BBQ thing so your videos help me a lot. Tulio from SW Florida

Welcome to the march madness of charcoal...Very nice video. Thank you for posting I learned a lot.

Great test video. I shared with my BGE BBQ group as there is always conversation about which lump is best. Awesome idea about the 1lb burn test as apparently wood density does make a difference in the final result. Thanks for sharing.

Great demonstration, thank you for going to this extent.

Jealous Devil all the way!!! Really like these charcoals comparison!! Great video , keep up the good work. Looking forward for the third test!!

I just found your channel and I love it man. Iv been doing a 70/30 of kingsford and jealous devil. Loving it man.

Glad to see test two, you've had some time to think about this one and time well spent. I liked the first one and this one is better. Looking forward to seeing the rest. I'd like you to for final test results have to categories. 1 best place, and 2 best buy. So if you did this a year ago that means I've been subscribed a little over a year now. Only one complaint so to speak and it's a good thing. Do more videos, you do great stuff so keep up the great work. 🔥 🔥 🔥

Great video! Got JD and I liked it. Glad to see you got similar results. Going to try Fogo as well. Thanks!

When are you uploading parts 3 and 4. Both 1 and 2 are helpful. I'm new to your channel and enjoy it, can't wait to watch some more of your vids.

Just wondering about part 3&4.. like watching th walking dead and having to wait next season only to find there are no more. Lol.. u got me hooked

Fantastic video and great method to test and compare!!!

Halfway through the video I was checking my local ace for blues hog by the end not so much. That's too bad. Thanks for the review it was great content.

Are you going to do part 3&4 of these lump charcoal comparisons? Just getting into charcoal grilling and I find these videos fascinating! 👍

Great video. I’ve used Jealous Devil and Fogo in my Primo. Both seemed to work well. Fogo has a slight advantage for me in the Primo because there tends to be more left over for the next cook.

Thanks for the info!!..Love your presentation...

Great test!

Great video!

Thanks for this test.

Loved the video can you add the bb xxl Texas lump charcoal to test would love to see a throw down with that

Great videos !! Anything new dropping soon like part 3 and 4 ?

Love this shared it on my site. When is 3 and 4 coming out?

I like the Blues Hog. I'm okay with my charcoal going out after a couple hours instead of burning down to ashes. That way you can reuse it if you want. Great video!

We need part 3 and 4 during this quarantine! We got time to grill lol

Waiting for part three like 💀💀

LOL - The Humphrey is practically like a sparkler on the 4th of July!

Paraguay 🇵🇾 FTW! Fantastic test.

Thanks for this...

Getting my charcoal fix! Awesome video. How does “El Diablo” lump charcoal compare? Part 3?

VERY GOOD information as I just got a kamado Joe jr and I really don't like the lump coal I got from whole foods, it burns good but don't like the tease. So waiting to see who comes out on top,and looking for more on smell

Awesome video, you should think of doing one during the night

The description of the video says video 2 of 4. where's the other two videos on these charcoal shootout?

Part 3!

Part 2 of my favorite of BBQIt video! Lessgo! ....WAS THAT THE FABLED PERFECT PULL???

Paraguay is on the Maaaap Babyyyy 😍

Let’s hope the American charcoal makes a better showing in Part 3. Can’t wait to see!

Hi Craig! When is video 3 coming out? Love to see how Kamado does. Thanks again for doing this, it is very helpful. Would love to see a video testing different thermometers, have yet to invest in one. Would also love to see a fire starter and management video. Just got my first offset and needless to say it was NOT easy man! Thank you!

You should finish the series!

I smoke on a weber kettle with my SnS, I prefer jealous devil. I do a several long cooks throughout the year and its always burned well and has great flavor.

At the start of the video I was hoping to see Jealous Devil. Got that. Then I was hoping it would win the contest of this video. Done deal. Best burning charcoal I've used.

I haven't watched all of these tests but based on video 1 I'm calling it a win for B&B overall

Please do a bag opening tutorial and the trick to the string. I was thinking background music for that might be that Weezer song: If You Want To Destroy My Sweater

Man, wish I had a yard like that. Can't grill at my studio apartment without a patio lol

Still waiting for Part 3. All the brands were already purchased before part 2, so what's the issue?

New to your channel, watch part one and two of the charcoal test. Is there a part three and four?

Hey Craig. Did you ever make the part 3 video?

Nice video Craig, how do you use lump in the pit barrel??

So far 2 videos down and internationally sourced wood has being the top winners!

I use kamado big block almost exclusively in my kettle. I have a bag of fogo i'll try out when I empty my bag of big block.

Do a fire and flavor charcoal review please

Part 3 and Part 4?

I was excited to see Blues Hog start out so good and then got disappointed but I rarely cook anything that takes more than 3 hrs so I'm gonna pull the trigger on it. I didn't catch part one but this was very interesting and helped me make a decision. Thanks for this video. Subbed!

Are youever going to finish this!

When you will issue part 3 & 4?

Where's the other 2 videos?!

Yoooo!! Where is part 3 and 4 my man??!!

We need more videos dude. Hope all is well. Peace.

Can we the new bnb XL PREMIUM LUMP CHARCOAL CHAMPIONSHIP BLEND to the mix would like to see how that one does compared to the others

This is very good test you put together. I use Jealous Devil,, I lucked out and bought my years worth just before the price more than doubled. I'm fairly new to grilling and you did mention seasonal pricing, could you briefly expand on the best time to purchase lump...living in USA. I line the inside of my Weber Kettle with metal mesh to catch the gravel and burned pieces for the next fire.

Perhaps it also depends on use .... low and slow vs searing? Then there is flavor. Lots of tests still left. :)

This guy trolling us bbq guys with part 3 and 4 lol.

Ever try the Lumberjack yet?

I've tried JD before and thought it produced an off flavor to chicken when I tried it, maybe it was just me, but I like FOGO a little better because it burns clean and you can taste the wood flavor you add to the meal. I also like B&B for the same reason, not much flavor from the charcoal more flavor from the meat and wood.

2022 and still waiting for part 3 and part 4.

What happened to Part 3 and 4?

These tests are great. I was hoping to watch all 4, but the first was back in June of 2019, the second was August of 2020, does this mean we won't see the 3rd until summer of 2021 and the final in summer of 2022??

What happened to the channel?? Great vids, nothing new in a long while mate!!

when is part 3?

It’s like jack black became a BBQ fanatic

Hi! Didn't know if you were aware that Bill Arnold, the inventor of the Blues Hog brand passed away recently in an assisted living center in Jackson, TN. Old friend of my from High school, great guy.

That paper test did it!

It's been 11 months since part 2 where is part three is that going to happen or no?

Need to cook something with them so you can compare flavor I have had some South American charcoals that produced off flavors. For me most of the time I'm looking for a charcoal that lights fast and burns clean.

Looking for part 3 of 4 and part 4 of 4

Uh Oh looks like B&B added their own quebracho charcoal called XXL Lump Charcoal. You may have to throw this one in the ring as well. I hear the pieces are even bigger than JD.

Can’t find part 3 or 4

GrillHunx said hold my beer hahahaah

Part 3 ????

Part 3?

About freezing time.....lol

The Humphreys is spitting alot but there ain't much in the chimney... the BB lump will spit like that too even filled up if the peices are bulky and there is a lot of air in between the lumps.

Just came across this 2 years later, great stuff!!! What I look for in lump is a long hot burn that is relatively spark and ash free. And wow, I wouldn't put Humphry's in any of my BBQs! Fogo was my go to for a long time, but their prices have gotten a little to much for me; but it's difficult to beat that long hot burn with so little spark and ash, great stuff!! I went Jealous Devil last year, and I have the say the chunks had this shine on it which made me believe it's sprayed with something, but the bag doesn't say. It burned the hottest/longest I've ever used, and it's the king of ash/spark free cooking.....once you get it going. It took waaaaay longer than usual to get my smoker up to temp, and tested my patience. More than once I opened the vents too much only to come back an hour later to a smoker 75 degrees too hot. I can't have that. Sorry Jealous Devil, you nearly had me. Your reaction when the string got pulled all the way out of the bag was hilarious! I do a little dance myself when that happens! I look forward to your next vid, I want to try more American lump.

Why so much time in between each parts?

B&B Charcoal is the best on the planet! Nothing even comes close

Overly hot? Burns too fast? Sparks all over? Sounds like Humphrey's is Mesquite lump!😂

Whatever happened to Part 3 and 4 of this challenge?

I have used Fogo and JD.....and a few others....Fogo Premium (black bag) is ok but I always get unburnt pieces.....not thrilled about that.... it's big bag brother (Fogo Super Premium) I like better....burns better but has bigger chunks than I like for my PBC basket. JD is not as hot for me as everyone seems to get but it burns more consistent and all ash after a long cook......but not impressed with the flavor coming off it. I've just got B&B Lump and Briquettes and am going to give them a try since just about every charcoal review site raves about B&B.........now promise you won't take AGES to do Part 3&4.....lol

So how does B&B lump compare to Jealous Devil?

Has anyone noticed different taste. I tried smoking with kingsford briquettes and chunks of wood. The flavor was disappointing

Part 3? 👀

On your IG you look like you are sponsored by B&B. Is that why you never did part 3 & 4?

Is it 1 part every 2 months?

When is part 3 and 4 gonna air?

Awesome video. Totally surprised that Humphrey's didn't last long......Some people swear by it in Western NY. And that crackling, it's almost like it is some pine or evergreen in there!....or HD 2×4 wood. Ha!

None of those brands are available in my area.
