FAQs

What is the difference between lumpwood charcoal and briquettes?

Lumpwood charcoal is made from solid pieces of hardwood, burning hotter and faster with less ash. Briquettes are made from compressed charcoal fines mixed with binders, burning more consistently and for longer periods but often at lower temperatures.

How long will the 12kg bag of charcoal last?

The duration depends on usage, but a 12kg bag is substantial and can typically provide fuel for multiple extensive cooking sessions, depending on the type of cooking (e.g., grilling vs. slow smoking).

Can these firelighters be used indoors?

Yes, the natural wood wool firelighters are safe to use for lighting open fires and stoves indoors, as they are made from natural materials and do not produce harmful fumes or taint food.

Will the firelighters taint the food if used in a pizza oven?

No, these firelighters are made from natural wood and wax and are specifically designed not to taint food or ovens, ensuring the pure flavor of your cooked items.

How should I dispose of used charcoal?

Allow the charcoal to cool completely until it is cold to the touch. Once cool, it can be disposed of in a metal bin or used as garden compost if appropriate.

Can I mix this charcoal with other types of fuel?

While possible, it's best to use lumpwood charcoal consistently for predictable heat output. Mixing could lead to uneven burning. Ensure any mixture is fully supervised.

Troubleshooting

Charcoal is difficult to light.

Ensure you are using enough firelighters (2-3 per attempt) and that they are placed strategically within the charcoal pile. Check that the charcoal is dry and has not been exposed to excessive moisture.

Firelighters go out too quickly.

This is unlikely with these natural wax firelighters, but if occurring, ensure they are not placed in a strong draft that extinguishes them before the charcoal catches. They provide approximately 10 minutes of burn time, which should be sufficient for ignition.

Uneven heat during cooking.

Distribute the charcoal evenly within your cooking vessel. Rake coals to one side for direct heat and leave an unlit area for indirect cooking, or use a chimney starter for a more consistent bed of coals.

Charcoal produces a lot of smoke.

Ensure the charcoal is fully lit and has developed a white ash coating before placing food on it. Excessive smoke can also be caused by dripping fats igniting; manage flare-ups by moving food or using indirect heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides high and sustained heat for optimal cooking.
  • Quickly reaches cooking temperature, saving time.
  • Natural firelighters are eco-friendly and non-tainting.
  • Long burn time of charcoal is suitable for extended cooking sessions.
  • Restaurant-grade quality ensures consistent performance.

Cons

  • Packaging may vary from product images.
  • Firelighters have a limited burn time (approx. 10 minutes) which may require multiple uses for larger fires.
  • Lumpwood charcoal can produce more ash than briquettes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Firelighters: Place 2-3 natural wood wool firelighters at the base of your charcoal pile in your BBQ, pizza oven, or fire pit. Light the firelighters.
  2. Charcoal: Once the firelighters are burning strongly, gradually add lumpwood charcoal over them. Allow the charcoal to ignite fully and burn until a bed of white ash forms before cooking.

Compatibility:

  • Charcoal: Suitable for all types of charcoal BBQs, smokers, pizza ovens, open fires, and solid fuel stoves.
  • Firelighters: Compatible with charcoal BBQs, wood-burning stoves, pizza ovens, open fires, camping stoves, and any application requiring easy ignition.

Care:

  • Storage: Store charcoal and firelighters in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their quality and effectiveness. Ensure the charcoal bag is sealed after use.
  • Disposal: Allow charcoal to cool completely before disposal. Never dispose of hot ash in plastic bins.
  • Cleaning: Clean your BBQ or oven after use according to the manufacturer's instructions. The charcoal and firelighters are designed for clean burning, but residual ash will require cleaning.
