Bought some of this Dollar General name brand Charcoal for grilling out with my family. My husband and I and our three boys. Steak and shrimp was what we put on the grill, not a cheap meal. However once the briquets were lit, the smoke smell began. It smelled like someone was paving our drive way. Once the food was cooked those of us who would even try it said it tasted like tar, it was no good. The little amounts that we did consume later gave us head aches and a stomach ache. Need less to say our meal was a waste. I shop at these stores regular yet haven't since and really haven't had anything good to say due to this bad experience. This product made my family sick and I'm not happy about it at all
