FAQs
Does this charcoal contain any chemical additives?
No, Logpile British Lumpwood Charcoal is made from 100% natural hardwood with no added chemicals or binders.
Can I use this for indoor cooking?
No, this product is strictly for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
How long will a 6kg bag last?
Usage varies based on grill type and cooking temperature, but a 6kg bag typically lasts for 3 to 5 standard barbecue sessions.
Why are the charcoal pieces different sizes?
As a natural product, the lumpwood reflects the original shapes of the hardwood branches and logs, which helps with better airflow in the grill.
Is this charcoal suitable for pizza ovens?
Yes, it is excellent for pizza ovens as it produces high, clean heat necessary for a perfectly crispy crust.
How should I dispose of the leftover ash?
Once the ash is completely cold, it can be composted in small amounts or disposed of with regular garden waste.
Troubleshooting
Charcoal is difficult to ignite
Ensure the charcoal has been kept dry and use a chimney starter with high-quality, odorless firelighters to encourage airflow.
Excessive sparks during lighting
This is common with natural hardwood. Keep the grill lid open until the sparks subside and the coals are fully ignited.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Delivers authentic, natural wood-fired flavor
- Environmentally friendly and locally sourced
- Burns cleaner with minimal smoke and no chemical odor

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, use a chimney starter rather than lighter fluid to ignite the charcoal, as fluid can ruin the natural wood flavor. Fill the chimney with Logpile charcoal and place two firelighters underneath. Once the edges of the top coals turn gray, dump them carefully into your grill. When storing, keep the 6kg bag in a dry, covered area off the ground to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause poor ignition. This charcoal is fully compatible with all charcoal grills, ceramic kamados, and smokers.
