Caradoc Charcoal

Caradoc Charcoal has recently changed hands, moved to Scotland and is now run by the passionate forester and superb charcoal maker Simon Scott.  It remains an independent family business in the heart of the rolling Scottish countryside, 20 miles from Glasgow.

Simon will continue the excellence delivered by the Caradoc brand, producing outstanding mixed species charcoal from Scottish hardwood trees (mainly Ash and Sycamore with a little Oak).  there will also be small drops of single species charcoal which will be truly special, so look out for those!

The clincher for us, notwithstanding flying through the rigour of the House of Charcoal testing, was using Caradoc at the first Meatopia in Glasgow where chefs loved the charcoal for its mixed sized chunks, ease of lighting, long slow burn and no hissing and popping.  Truly outstanding charcoal.

  • Wild Cherry Charcoal

    Wild Cherry Charcoal

    Caradoc Charcoal
    Wild Cherry is one of the best charcoals you can cook with and one of the few that adds a subtle sweet flavour. Lush. It's a light wood so you get loads in the bag but it also means it lights super easily and just wants to get hot hot hot. You'll fall in love with this but it's mega rare so get it while you can!

  • Oak Charcoal

    Oak Charcoal

    Caradoc Charcoal
    A wonderfully dense British charcoal that is suited perfectly for low and slow and cooking 'dirty' directly on the coals. Many people are surprised with the subtlety in flavour of Oak charcoal expecting big flavours, but bear in mind this is charcoal and not wood - so it delivers a lovely mild flavour and not overpowering. If you want more punch, add our British sourced Oak smoking chunks.
