I tried once and it was crap, not well carbonized at all - it was like throwing logs on in the egg. Check how heavy the bag is - I wish I'd weighed mine because it had to be way over 20 lbs.

Vision Lump is being marketed as 100% Oak, and tied to the Vision Kammado type cookers. Most reviews I have seen complimented on the size of the lump, the unexpected weight of the bag, and needing more air to get to temp and maintain temp. People seem to favor it more than Royal Oak, BGE, Cowboy, but not as much as Carbon Del Sur, Rockwood, Fogo, etc.
Takes a while longer to get to good smoke for cooking. Lump seems to last much longer. I have had no experience with it personally and the comments I have read are from novices in the Kommado cooking circles.

Visions is a Chinese company right, their charcoal I'm assuming is also Chinese. Why would it surprise anyone that this is pure junk? Not to mention do you really want to cook with anything from China? They ship poisoned pet treats here, they poison baby formula, no thank you.
sorry if this offends anyone but I'm so tired of our government kissing the feet of a country that is communist, has nucular capabilities, has ICBM's, serious human rights issues and is friends with North Korea.

I've never tried vision baby formula, didn't know it was poisoned.

stay away from Vision Chipotle restaurants.

Worst charcoal I've ever used. I'm just going to throw one or 2 pieces in with some cooks to use it up but it sucks.
