4 WAY LUMP CHARCOAL TEST | PART 2 OF 4| BBQ iT
#charcoal #lumpcharcoal #bbqit
This is the second throw down for a lump charcoal champion! In this video, we put BLUES HOG v FOGO v HUMPHREY v JEALOUS DEVIL!! BBQ iT is testing to see what's actually in the bag: tons of rock, pieces too big? Then we get to see who burns the hottest, and the longest. The top 2 in this video will face the top 2 in the first video, and the top 2 in the next video!

Awesome to have this real world experiment to look back on. I ordered some Fogo yesterday and am excited to try it.
Hope you enjoy it! And thanks for the Sub!!1
Interesting, fun video, looking forward to the rest of the series. Cheers.

Great demonstration, thank you for going to this extent.
Your very welcome!!! Thanks for watching!! And thanks for the Sub!!
Awesome job! Feeling blessed for having subscribed to you!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the info!!..Love your presentation...
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!
Thank you so very much for the kind words!! And I’m glad your local and getting ya bbq on!!
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?
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.
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.
Robert, thanks a ton for the feedback and the views!! Hey, subscribe if ya can and ring the bell, it will throw the next video right to ya phone when it launches! This Friday is the next one fyi!! And thanks for sharing w ya BGE page, so cool!!!!
Thanks for this test.
Your welcome!
Love the channel man.. Im just starting to get into this BBQ thing so your videos help me a lot. Tulio from SW Florida
THANK YOU AGAIN THERE TULIO!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe, very very cool!
Fantastic video and great method to test and compare!!!
Thanks a ton Benson, and thanks for the SUB!
Hey Craig. Did you ever make the part 3 video?
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. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you so much man! Great words of encouragement!
I agree with Victor. Please do more vids. You have great content
Great video! Got JD and I liked it. Glad to see you got similar results. Going to try Fogo as well. Thanks!
Thanks Toro!!
Are you going to do part 3&4 of these lump charcoal comparisons? Just getting into charcoal grilling and I find these videos fascinating! 👍
@BBQ iT - Yah, just ran into these and looked for parts 3 and 4. Wondering where they are?
I’m new to this Channel and was looking for Parts 3 & 4 also. Hope it may return. Talk about à “TV cliffhanger”!! 😂
Thanks for this...
Awesome video, you should think of doing one during the night
Jealous Devil all the way!!! Really like these charcoals comparison!! Great video , keep up the good work. Looking forward for the third test!!
Those were some damn kind works Steph!!!!! Next video is this FRIDAY!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe, very very cool!
6 months later and we still waiting for Friday
Hey Stephane let's do the test Montreal and Canadian charcoal
Loved the video can you add the bb xxl Texas lump charcoal to test would love to see a throw down with that
I'll be testing that in a different series!
Do a fire and flavor charcoal review please
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
New to your channel, watch part one and two of the charcoal test. Is there a part three and four?
Great test!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe, very very cool! Next video this week!!!
Great video!
Sweet, thanks again and sub if ya can!!
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.
Great insight man!! Thanks for subscribing!
Getting my charcoal fix! Awesome video. How does “El Diablo” lump charcoal compare? Part 3?
Oh Ed Diablo? I'll have to find it!! Thanks for subscribing!
Part 3!
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!
Thank you!! Yes, I need to get on those videos for ya!!
@@BBQiT Thank you sir! Looking forward to them!
You should finish the series!
We need part 3 and 4 during this quarantine! We got time to grill lol
Starts back next week!! Thank you as well for watching!! If ya can, hit subscribe and click the bell, and like when ya like. It helps me get my videos in rotation!
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.
Part 3 and Part 4?
Paraguay 🇵🇾 FTW! Fantastic test.
MIKE, THANKS MAN!! And thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe, very very cool!
@@BBQiT you have an amazing YT. It’s helped me make more knowledgeable purchases to up my bbq game. Appreciate the work you put in.
The description of the video says video 2 of 4. where's the other two videos on these charcoal shootout?
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
Nice video Craig, how do you use lump in the pit barrel??
Same as briquettes... Just lite a small amount to get going. Creep up to ya temp instead of shooting past it.
Yoooo!! Where is part 3 and 4 my man??!!
Waiting for part three like 💀💀
FRIDAY!!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe, very very cool!
Friday of what month
For real where part 3 and 4
The charcoal mafia reached out to him, it's no longer safe for him to finish the charcoal challenge 😈👿😰🤕🤛
@@BBQiT Friday of what year
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!
Yeah, it doesn't prove it's not a great charcoal. It's just a test. I'll do a real cook test w these as well. Thanks for subscribing!
InstaBlaster.
Part 2 of my favorite of BBQIt video! Lessgo! ....WAS THAT THE FABLED PERFECT PULL???

BBQ iT If I hadn’t watch it I wouldn’t have believed it! That’s a good sign!
Are youever going to finish this!
Where's the other 2 videos?!
Ever try the Lumberjack yet?
Still waiting for Part 3. All the brands were already purchased before part 2, so what's the issue?
when is part 3?
I haven't watched all of these tests but based on video 1 I'm calling it a win for B&B overall
We need more videos dude. Hope all is well. Peace.
LOL - The Humphrey is practically like a sparkler on the 4th of July!

When you will issue part 3 & 4?
Next 2 weeks I hope!
What else is there to judge?
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.
when did you buy it?
their website, or Acehardware.com
@@blink555 I bought a 35lb bag in April, I think for $49.95 although I have lots of charcoal of different brands. So in late June I checked the price on Amazon and found the price had more than doubled. So I sent a email off to Jealous Devil and their response was that the price is controlled by market forces, and the were not going to refund money to me, which I never asked for. Right now I am burning a bag of B&B lump and have no complaints. I use a fine screen to catch small pieces in my Weber kettle, and achieve multiple burns with the same charcoal. Less I digress, I am new to grilling in a serious way and was wondering if pricing on charcoal is seasonal. Also with many people home cooking due to C-19 might have an effect on pricing. Happy grilling.
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
Jarad, your dead on!! I'lll be doing an XL episode for sure, and I mention it in this weeks PRT 3 LUMP test video coming out Friday! Hey, ring the BELL AND SUBSCRIBE BRO!!!! Thanks for watching and see ya soon!!
What happened to Part 3 and 4?
2022 and still waiting for part 3 and part 4.
Man, wish I had a yard like that. Can't grill at my studio apartment without a patio lol
Well, that sucks bro!! You'll have to at least get a little griddle, and maybe a small smoke box set-up. If you have good ventilation. Hey, hit subscribe and ring the bell, you'll get the next vids dropped straight to ya!!
@@BBQiT I moved to a new bottom floor apartment with a tiny yard. Feels good to be able to grill and smoke again. Look forward to the next video brother!
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??
Apparently not
@@AsronPhotography I'm wondering if him being sponsored by B & B has anything to do with it??
Can’t find part 3 or 4
Part 3?
Paraguay is on the Maaaap Babyyyy 😍
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe, very very cool!
It's been 11 months since part 2 where is part three is that going to happen or no?
Looking for part 3 of 4 and part 4 of 4
Copy that. Coming next week! Thank you as well for watching!! If ya can, hit subscribe and click the bell, and like when ya like. It helps me get my videos in rotation!
Part 3 ????
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!
So far 2 videos down and internationally sourced wood has being the top winners!
Yuuup!
Perhaps it also depends on use .... low and slow vs searing? Then there is flavor. Lots of tests still left. :)
Yeah, this one is just a burn time test really. Some don't put off any flavor, strangely enough.
Let’s hope the American charcoal makes a better showing in Part 3. Can’t wait to see!
NO kidding eh!! Thanks for subscribing!
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.
Will do!!
@@BBQiT maybe in the Humphreys Battle box would love to see more cooks with it
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.
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.
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.
Keep me posted!
Why so much time in between each parts?
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.
Nice! Subscribe!
When is part 3 and 4 gonna air?
coming next week...finally! Thank you as well for watching!! If ya can, hit subscribe and click the bell, and like when ya like. It helps me get my videos in rotation!
@@BBQiT can’t wait!!!
@@BBQiT how long are weeks in New England?
Is it 1 part every 2 months?
NO, but I've had life delays. Sorry, more to come next week!!
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.
DEAD on!! Yes, the JD doesn't add a ton off flavor in general I feel. Or at least it didn't seem to. I LOVE B&B for that exact reason you mentioned, it SMELLS AMAZING!! And yes it adds flavor. Me and my boys always trip when I light up B&B lump or briquettes, it's always an amazing smokey-oaky-campfire-ready-to-cook vibe! Thanks for the SUB btw!!
So how does B&B lump compare to Jealous Devil?
Were gonna find out next week!! This Friday, part 3 drops, then part 4 next week!! Hey, thanks for watching and click subscribe and ring the bell if ya can, you'll get the videos instantly when they drop! Whooohooooo!!!
That paper test did it!
Dead on!! Thanks for watching!! And thanks for the Sub!!
Whatever happened to Part 3 and 4 of this challenge?
3 is editing and 4 is a week after!! And thanks for the love and subscribing!
@@BBQiT anxiously waiting. Thanks for replying and for doing this.
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.
1 pound in each chimney. Humphrey was a full chimney, it burned up fast, real fast. Cheap
@@BBQiT I believe it. I use BB LUMP AND BRICKET. I was just saying I've had bb lump spit hard like that too.
What happened to the channel?? Great vids, nothing new in a long while mate!!
Part 3? 👀
On your IG you look like you are sponsored by B&B. Is that why you never did part 3 & 4?
It’s like jack black became a BBQ fanatic
Any update to this series?

@@BBQiT love your channel my man. I liked and subscribed about a month ago
None of those brands are available in my area.
What brands do you get? Ace hardware.com can ship or pickup anything really.
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
Ok, that was an amazing comment! Sorry I missed getting back. Dead on with your comment on the coals in general. You'll LOVE the B&B smell and flavor for sure!!! Every time I light it up I'm amazed at it's aroma and flavor. Every damn time. Oh hey KVIDS, subscribe and ring a bell, the next video comes out this week!!! Thanks again for taking the time to watch my vids man!!
@@BBQiT your not going to believe this but...... Jealous Devil's new product, Pillow Briquettes hits it out of the park..... imagine this, a Briquette twice the size of B&B.....nearly no broken ones in the bag or dust at all, bag after bag, low ash, clean burning, did I say fricking BIG. Long.....long burns.....I cooked a Brisket for 18 hours on my PBC without adding fuel😳.....they burn hot and clean..... Amazon them, get some, throw it into you test challange video........ I'll NEVER use another type of Briquette again!.....never.......did I say their BIG?...😳😮
Has anyone noticed different taste. I tried smoking with kingsford briquettes and chunks of wood. The flavor was disappointing
Kingsford man, who knows what crap is in that man! Thank you as well for watching!! If ya can, hit subscribe and click the bell, and like when ya like. It helps me get my videos in rotation!
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.
Yuuup!! It's already in the works!! Prt 3 comes out Friday!! Thanks for the sub!!
GrillHunx said hold my beer hahahaah
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!
Yeah, it was so bad, I need to test it again. But damn, it burned away FAST!
Still waiting on them videos...
I know, I know!! Stay tuned!
Where is part 3 and 4? It has been a year since part two. But with that aside, I live in Canada and we don't get a ton of charcoal love. We have Canadian Maple hardwood charcoal and I think Oak. But I have never seen any of the premium charcoal brands that aren't big names like Green Egg or Komado Joe. I run Kingsford briquettes most of the time since they are pressed tightly and don't crumble apart like Royal Oaks briquettes. I have some Napoleon Black Stone coconut charcoal logs. They last forever and are a really solid shape for ground out charcoal powder compared to briquettes. I don't like that after taste it leave though so it just sitting in my closet. I think I am going to use it for a little asian charcoal style grill
Ok, ok!! I've been on break for things.. I'm finishing part 3 now, and part 4 films SAt!!!!!
I live so close to the Humphreys plant pay $10 a bag at the plant
Oh wow!! Thanks for watching!! And thanks for the Sub!!
