Charcoal briquettes: even heat from start to finish
Charcoal briquettes are made by mixing the fines left over from lumpwood charcoal with wheat flour, which acts as a natural binder. The result is a compact, uniform block that gives off a great deal of heat and keeps it steady for a long time. They are 100% natural, renewable and non-polluting.
✅ Key benefits
Steady heat: their uniform shape and density give a very even temperature across the whole grill.
Long-lasting: they burn longer than lumpwood charcoal, perfect for slow cooking.
100% natural: charcoal fines and wheat flour, with no chemical additives.
Nothing goes to waste: they make use of charcoal fines, a renewable material.
Clean and convenient: uniform size, easy to arrange and to measure out.
🔥 Recommended uses
Slow roasts, racks of ribs and large joints.
Lidded barbecues and kamados.
Commercial grills that need steady heat throughout service.
Low-temperature smoking.

💡 Pro tip: briquettes take a little longer to light than lumpwood charcoal, but then they last much longer. Light them in a pyramid or with a chimney starter and wait until they are grey on the outside before spreading them out. For long cooks, combine a base of briquettes with some lumpwood charcoal to get going sooner.
