A welcome return for House of Charcoal and extremely rare as a charcoal, we are beyond excited to offer Blackthorn charcoal from the wonderful folk at Crwys charcoal.  An ancient species to the UK, Blackthorne makes up our hedgerows and is a densely growing thawny bush that provides essential early pollen for bees and butterflies, and its dense, thorny nature makes it an ideal nesting site for birds and a habitat for small mammals.  We also love Blackthorn for its berries which are used to soak and infuse for our warming shots of Sloe Gin!

As a charcoal it is very dense so burns slowly and produces a lovely consistent heat with a subtle smokey flavour profile. 

  • Grown in Britain - always
  • A wonderful, rare long burning charcoal
  • High density, lights well and easy to control
  • Delicate smokey notes than complement any barbecue
  • Add smoking chunks for added smokiness
  • Can be re-used after shut down so highly efficient
  • No chemicals, ever
  • Mild smoke, no hissing or popping, low ash - a perfect charcoal
  • Suitable for all grills and cooking methods
  • Sustainably produced in the UK by rockstar charcoal makers

*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!

Flavour Profile

Nothing overpowering - just a lovely smoke that complements most meats and fish - nothing not to love.

Origins & Production

Crwys charcoal is expertly made from trees coppiced from their 21 acre small holding in Monmouthshire, deep in the Welsh valleys.
