Choose Lumpwood & Restaurant Grade Charcoal - For the Ultimate Professional BBQ experience!

 Barbecuing can be a lot of fun, but choosing the right kind of fuel is crucial to its success. Charcoal is the most commonly used fuel for cooking over open fires in the United Kingdom. As charcoal is simply carbon in its purest form, it is a much more natural fuel than briquettes, and contains no chemical additives. Though it burns for a shorter time than briquettes, it produces more heat, and a nicer aroma and flavour, improving the quality of your grilled food significantly. 

Charcoal grilling is a true test for any experienced cook. It can be an exciting challenge with some seriously great tasting rewards, from lighting and changing fuel, to managing airflow and controlling flare-ups. But, before you light your charcoal and start grilling, you must first answer one crucial question: What grade of charcoal should you be using?

In a quandary about choosing the right type of charcoal?

 

As there are many products for you to choose from, deciding which form of fuel to use can be a bit of a headache. Charcoal comes in a variety of grades, and we have chosen the two higher quality grades that are used in restaurants and professional kitchens to discuss here. Let's take a look at them more closely :

 

Lumpwood Charcoal - This offers many advantages. Lumpwood charcoal is created by burning wood in the absence of oxygen, converting it to carbon, making it the purist's favourite. It contains no additives, so food cooked over it has a pleasant smoky aroma. It has a fast start-up time and can reach maximum temperature in around 20 minutes. It's even more responsive to burning in oxygen, making it much easier to monitor cooking temperatures with your BBQ's vent.  

 

Features of Lumpwood Charcoal

  • It's easy to light and generates a great deal of heat, with little smoke.

  • It reaches cooking temperatures in as little as 20 minutes, making it perfect for a quick family barbecue.

  • It imparts a distinct, natural flavour to your food.

Restaurant Grade Charcoal - This is premium charcoal fuel which is far larger in size than regular charcoal. It is commonly packed in large bags and measured by kilos. Restaurant Grade Charcoal can produce heat uniformly and continuously for a longer period of time, due to its larger form. Charcoal of this quality is particularly well suited to cooking large quantities of food and imparts food with an authentic smoky flavour.

 

Features of Restaurant Grade Charcoal

  • Ability to light quickly.

  • Maintains steady and consistent temperatures. As a result, food is prepared swiftly and thoroughly.

  • There are no chemicals or additives present, therefore the food tastes natural, with a woody, smoky flavour.

  • When purchased in large quantities, restaurant grade charcoal is cost-effective.

Lumpwood charcoal is the perfect option for a premium barbecue experience if you plan to host a small gathering. If you're planning a larger summer barbecue event, opt for restaurant grade charcoal to ensure a great experience and grilled food fit for a king (or queen)!
