The right charcoal can make your grilling experience more consistent, produce better tasting food, and leave less clean up. After much research and testing, we’re convinced that Royal Oak Classic Briquets are the best charcoal for your grill. This charcoal burns hotter, lasts longer, and produces less ash than nearly every other briquet we tested. It’s competitively priced, and it’s available all year from stores such as Home Depot, Kmart, and Walmart.

Royal Oak Classic Briquets,

Royal Oak Classic Briquets

The Royal Oak briquets lasted longer than other charcoal and burned almost as hot as the best we tested. The consistent size, shape, and quality of the briquets translate to consistently hot temperatures and long burn times.
We recommend
Fogo All Natural Premium Hardwood Charcoal (35 pounds), if you prefer lump wood

Fogo All Natural Premium Hardwood Charcoal (35 pounds)

If you prefer lump wood
The Fogo hardwood charcoal burns extremely hot and pure with no additives, producing very low amounts of ash. Any lump charcoal is irregular in size and shape, though, which can make predicting temperature and grilling times difficult.
