I used this charcoal in my Kamado Joe Classic several times.  The first time I used it on chicken.  It gave the chicken a kerosene flavor.  I thought maybe I did not let the charcoal get hot enough (a problem I have never had with other charcoal).  I tried the charcoal again making sure that all of the charcoal was burning and then I adjusted the air vents on my Joe to get the heat down to 300.  Again the flavor of the chicken was like Kerosene.  We could not eat it.  

I have had my Joe for about (5) years and have never had this issue with other charcoals.  I have purchased other Joe products and I have no complaints but I will not use this charcoal again.
