*The purchase of each bag of British charcoal secures our forests, woodlands and the beasts that live within for future generations. We do this together, one bag at a time. Unnecessary charcoal imports are damaging tropical ecosystems and polluting the planet, not to mention the humanitarian impacts in some territories. We need to burn British!

Ash, a staple of virtually every British woodland and made into class leading medium density charcoal. This most useful of trees loses nothing of its versatility once made into charcoal. Easy to light, quick to respond to changes in airflow. It copes well with a hot grill, or low and slow setups, with the light sweet and subtle smoky flavour comes through in buckets.

Aromatic heat that absorbs into food for unmistakably subtle, smoky, charred flavours. Not too strong, but ever so slightly subtle and superb for all types of meat, fish and vegetables.

Caradoc Charcoal
Caradoc Charcoal is an independent family business in the heart of Shropshire Countryside. Having spent 20 years in the firewood business, they’ve made the move to producing their own charcoal in 2019 and have been lighting sustainable fires ever since. All of their wood is 100% sourced in the UK and felled under license from the Forestry Commission so you can bet your buns you’ll be buying British and burning British too.
