Briquettes going bad?

[Foundry37]

I was gifted a bag of Royal Oak Ridged and they seem to have a hard time lighting. 
Stupid question but can old charcoal go bad?
Bag was unopened dry and my friend said he bought it 6 months ago.

I don't know. Probably moisture got to it at some point. Try storing in the garage off the floor for a couple weeks and try it out again.
