The Charcoal Chef's 12kg of Premium Restaurant Grade Lumpwood Charcoal

Restaurant-grade lumpwood charcoal made from sustainably sourced hardwood. Unlike standard supermarket charcoal, lumpwood is made from whole pieces of carbonised wood — no binders, no additives, no compressed dust. The difference in cooking performance is immediately noticeable.

Lumpwood lights faster than briquettes, burns hotter, and produces less ash. It's the charcoal of choice for professional chefs and serious home grillers — and it's what gives BBQ food that clean, natural smokiness you don't get from gas.

Why lumpwood?

• Lights in 15–20 minutes with a chimney starter
• Burns hotter than briquettes — better sear on meat
• Natural wood flavour — no chemical aftertaste
• Less ash than briquettes — easier clean-up
• Suitable for kettle grills, kamado grills, and open fire pits
