*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!

  • Great with beef

  • Great with lamb

  • Great with chicken

  • Great with vegetables

  • Great with venison

This amazing Alder charcoal is so wonderfully light due to its low density so loves to get hot – and quickly.  Brilliant for your everyday barbecues for searing and cooking those perfect snags and burgers.  Forms the very best caramelised crust on steaks and it should be illegal what it can do to a venison loin!  If you haven’t tried this then you should as its one of the rarest charcoals out there.

Flavour Profile

Super subtle smoke but Alder charcoal should be lorded for its burn profile delivering fast, flaming heat and not its flavour, given the subtlety. We love this stuff and wish we could have more.

Origins & Production

Stag Charcoal works in partnership with Abington Sawmill & local woodland owners to source timber suitable for conversion into British charcoal and other charcoal derived products that can be found in this store, under the "Stag Charcoal" brand. The name "Stag" was chosen because traditionally the stag has been the “King” of the forest and our guiding values and ethos is that British Charcoal is the best.
