British Charcoal

THE HERO OF THE FLAME.

 All of our charcoal originates from trees grown in Britain, either wind fallen, coppiced or felled as part of a sustainably managed forest programme. The charcoal they make, delivers a natural, clean-burning imperative for fire-cooking aficionados across the UK. Its high carbon content ensures consistent ease of lighting, speed to cook (no waiting 40 mins for antis to burn off) heat distribution, minimal ash and a distinctively mild smokey flavours. It's ideal for achieving that perfect, sumptuous, fire-kissed sear.
