Is this Charcoal any good?

I've read on here where some of you like Fogo charcoal. I ran up on this while ago. The bag looks different than the bags I see reviews on. It is a 17.6 lb bag. It's local and it's inexpensive.

    no experience with this bag, but I really like their big 35lb bag.  They don't have a red bag on their website but a green one that is similar.  The only difference on advertising between the green bag and the big bag is one is "super premium" and one is only premium.  Could be worth a shot to try a bag if it is cheap and then report back.

    edit: I found a picture on their website that shows a difference. the big bag, which is super premium has much larger chunks, the 17lb green bag has what looks to be a normal mix you would find in most bags, as the bags get smaller the pieces seem to get smaller.  not sure how this will relate to a red bag though.

    It's not the same. But it's still good.

    I think the red bag may be better for daily cooking it's smaller pieces and not as dense. I think that red bag was as good as any of the other lumps around.
