A great BBQ starts with good charcoal.
Made in Chiddingfold, Surrey from sustainably managed British hardwood, our lumpwood charcoal is a natural alternative to mass-produced BBQ fuels. It lights quickly, burns hot and gives you the authentic charcoal cooking experience.
But what makes British lumpwood charcoal different, and why does the charcoal you choose matter?
Why Choose British Lumpwood Charcoal for Your BBQ?
When it comes to a great BBQ, the food matters – but so does the fuel you cook it over.
At Chiddingfold Charcoal, we make British lumpwood charcoal in Chiddingfold, Surrey using sustainably managed British hardwood.
What is lumpwood charcoal?
Lumpwood charcoal is made from real pieces of wood that are heated with a restricted supply of oxygen. This removes moisture and other compounds from the timber and leaves behind the lightweight, carbon-rich charcoal we use for cooking.
Unlike manufactured briquettes, lumpwood charcoal retains the natural, irregular shape of the original pieces of timber.
Quick to light
One of the big advantages of good-quality lumpwood charcoal is how quickly it gets going.
It lights quickly and reaches a high cooking temperature, meaning less time waiting for the BBQ and more time cooking.
Hot, responsive cooking
British lumpwood charcoal produces strong heat, making it ideal for everyday BBQ cooking.
Whether you’re cooking burgers and sausages, searing a steak, grilling vegetables or firing up a pizza oven, you can control the heat by adjusting the airflow and the amount of charcoal you use.
Made from British hardwood
Our charcoal starts with sustainably managed British hardwood.
Managing woodland through practices such as coppicing produces useful timber while encouraging new growth and keeping traditional woodland management skills alive.
Making charcoal gives us another valuable use for this British timber.
Made locally in Surrey
Our charcoal isn’t shipped halfway around the world before reaching your BBQ.
It’s made by us in Chiddingfold, Surrey.
From woodland management and preparing the timber to making, grading and bagging the finished charcoal, we’re involved in the process that turns British hardwood into the charcoal you cook over.
Supporting British woodland management
Choosing locally made British charcoal isn’t only about what happens on the BBQ.
You’re also supporting a traditional rural industry and helping create a market for timber produced through the active management of British woodland.
