Our charcoal
PREMIUM FUEL FOR A PREMIUM OVEN
To do justice to a premium outdoor oven, you need premium fuel. Our hardwood charcoal is made from pure lumpwood, untouched by any chemical accelerants. It’s not just a fuel, it’s an ingredient, with each of the woods we use imparting its own unique set of flavours. All three of our charcoal options are as good for roasting, low & slow and baking as they are for grilling, and their purity means you can dirty cook directly on the coals. That’s why our charcoal is used in some of the country’s top restaurants – chefs who care about the quality of their ingredients care just as deeply about the quality of their fuel.

Who uses our charcoal
QUICK, CLEAN, EFFICIENT
Unlike softwood charcoal, whose high resin content results in nasty emissions, inconsistent heat and sticky residues, our sustainably sourced hardwoods burn clean, long and hot, making them perfect for outdoor cooking. And unlike coals covered in chemical accelerants that need to be burnt off, they don’t have to be completely white before you start your cook. Using our charcoal, a MiniMax can come up to heat in 10 minutes, a Large in 15 minutes and an XL in 20 – so quick that an after-work barbecue is a viable option. Each load is re-useable, with just a top-up needed for the next cook, meaning that a single bag can fuel your EGG for hours on end.
