*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!

Caradoc specialise in the production of mixed and single species charcoals, expertly made solely from British Trees harvested as part of a forestry management programme and is Grown in Britain endorsed - which is a big deal!

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.

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.
