We’re delighted to welcome Matt and the team at Norfolk Charcoal and offer for the first time their single species Alder charcoal. A super rare, wonderful charcoal and we are so lucky to offer – when it’s gone it's gone!  Super light so they had trouble fitting into regular bags and had to fill with 4kg in weight given it is so light and volumes.  Alder loves to get hot and fast so no waiting around to cook on this magnificent charcoal.  Just so you know... Alder trees are the stuff of folklore and said to be the doorway to the home of the forest fairies!
  • Light density so loves to get hot – and we mean hot!
  • Prized for centuries as one of the best for making gunpowder
  • The bag is brimmed to the top as it’s so light
  • Not for your low and slows but amazing for consistent high heat, fast cooking
  • Fast lighting – no waiting around so you can get cooking!
  • Low ash residue
  • Super subtle smoke taste – brilliant for more delicate ingredients
  • No chemicals, ever
  • Made from regeneratively harvested British wood
  • Suitable for all grills – add wood chunks for more defined smoke flavours
  • Sustainably produced in Norfolk by the talented team at Norfolk Charcoal

  • Great with pork

  • Great with chicken

  • Great with beef

  • Great with fish

Flavour Profile

Super subtle smoke flavour but Alder charcoal is lorded for its burn profile delivering fast, flaming heat and not its flavour, given the subtlety.

Origins & Production

Working with locally harvested woodland, Norfolk Charcoal is rooted in place and purpose. As proud members of Grown in Britain, they take real care over the timber they use — and it shows. This is thoughtfully made, small-batch lumpwood, with much of the process still done by hand, including grading, to ensure every bag delivers a well-balanced mix of sizes ideal for serious fire cooking.
