Great with pork

The backbone of any great barbeque. Wether it's sausages, shoulder, ribs or crackling - this humble ingredient is best cooked low and slow and benefits from a touch of smoke to complement it's moreish-ness.

Tip: Before slow roasting bigger cuts of pork, brining up to 24 hours ahead of time will infuse the meat with flavour and adequate salt - helping to retain moisture during the roasting process. Once brined, dab dry with a towel, add your spice rub, sit back, crack open a cold one and anticipate the results.

    Oh we love this charcoal - truly! This is a brilliant single species Ash charcoal that tends to have larger chunks but is a great all rounder.

  • English Oak

    English Oak

    Norfolk Charcoal
    Another new charcoal alert!!! 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 grown and made oak smoking chunks. This is a wonderful charcoal and every cook will be one to remember!

    Made by our great friends from Whittle and Flame from their new home in North Devon, Smoking chunks are an essential flavour enhancer to your barbecue - but choose carefully. Apple chunks will deliver a fruity, mild sweet infusion which adds a delicious level of flavour, ideal for poultry and pork. The smoke is delicate and light and also subtle enough for fish and vegetables - a lovely smoked addition.

    Alder Chunks

    Whittle & Flame
    Made by our great friends from Whittle and Flame from their new home in North Devon, smoking chunks are an essential flavour enhancer to your barbecue - but pair with your food carefully. Alder is traditionally used for smoking salmon as it delivers a mild, sweet and earthy flavour. We recommend it is best paired with the more delicate proteins like fish or chicken or thinner cuts of pork. Not best suited to add smoke to more powerful rubs and marinades given its subtlety, so use Oak or Cherry if you need something with more punch.
