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 charcoal from Scottish hardwood trees.

Beech, with leaves that stay on the branch well into Winter and often surrounded by a carpet of bluebells in the spring, is an iconic species in the British woodland. Rivalling Oak for density, Beech charcoal is well suited to a longer slower burn and is an excellent choice for cooking directly on the coals.

Flavour Profile

A clean smoke that's consistent and is a wonderful charcoal for longer burns. Beech is ideal for hot and cold smoking and a great all rounder.

Origins & Production

Coldstream, Scottish Borders
