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.

    Mixed Hardwood Charcoal

    Caradoc Charcoal
    This superb mixed species, hardwood charcoal just gets on with the job with no fuss or noise (or bagpipe regalia). Lights easily (barely needs a starter), spreads beautifully, loves to get hot but equally brilliant with all types of barbecue from open beds to a Kamado for low and slow. No waiting 30 minutes for the chemicals to burn off on this - you will be cooking in no time. Braw!!

    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!
