Our great friends at Norfolk Charcoal have bestowed upon us a small release of this superb English Oak charcoal.  Expertly made from local Oak, coppiced from Norfolk forests as part of a forest regeneration programme, it is a fantastic slow burning charcoal that will reward for all types of cooks.

Oak charcoal is surprisingly rare for a charcoal and is a dense fissured charcoal (has lots of cracks) so one of the longer burning native species. It will burn long and slow at a lower temperature for an extended period due to its density, responding well to changes in air flow with the cracks enabling air to circulate and feed the flames. It’s a great choice for low and slow cooks or for cooking more delicate foods like fish and an excellent choice for going dirty directly on the coals.

  • Grown in Britain Certified - the real deal
  • A wonderful all rounder and great to cook with
  • Dense charcoal, lights well, responsive and easy to control
  • Mild smokey notes than complement any barbecue
  • Add smoking chunks for added smoke flavour depth
  • Highly responsive so can be re-used after shut down
  • No chemicals, ever
  • Little smoke, no hissing or popping, low ash
  • Suitable for all grills and cooking methods
  • Sustainably produced in the UK
    *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

An old English wood charcoal that is a delight to cook on, delivering a super subtle smoke profile. Add chunks for stronger smoked infusions and our Whittle and Flame oak chunks are superb!

Origins & Production

Made from Grown in Britain accredited British trees from the Holkham Estate in Norfolk. A rare charcoal and no sign of any repeat drops coming soon as they only take what is needed to regenerate the forests.
