FAQs
Does this charcoal contain any chemical additives?
No, Fiya Lumpwood Charcoal is made exclusively from natural, slow-growing hardwoods with no fillers, binders, or chemicals.
How long will a single load of charcoal burn?
Depending on airflow and grill type, Fiya provides a steady, consistent burn for up to four hours.
Is this charcoal suitable for indoor use?
No, this product is intended for outdoor use only. Burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide, which is dangerous in enclosed spaces.
Where is the wood sourced from?
The charcoal is responsibly sourced from Namibia and South Africa, supporting environmental initiatives that clear invasive scrub to restore native habitats.
Will this charcoal impart a strong smoky flavor?
It provides a subtle, authentic smoky flavor that complements meat, fish, and vegetables without overpowering the natural taste of the ingredients.
How should I dispose of the leftover ash?
Wait until the ash is completely cold. It can then be disposed of in a metal bin or, in small quantities, used as a soil amendment in certain garden beds.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty igniting the charcoal
Ensure you are using a dry chimney starter and high-quality firelighters. Avoid using petroleum-based liquids that can affect flavor.
Excessive smoke during cooking
This is usually caused by damp charcoal or an insufficient oxygen supply. Ensure the intake and exhaust vents on your grill are properly adjusted to promote clean airflow.
Heat fading too quickly
Ensure the coals are fully ignited before adding food. If cooking for extended periods, add new charcoal in small batches to maintain temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use a chimney starter to ignite the charcoal, as it helps establish an even coal bed without the need for chemical firelighters. Once the edges of the top coals turn grey, distribute them into your grill.
Compatibility: Fiya works in all charcoal-based cooking equipment, including Kamado grills, Weber kettles, offset smokers, and open-fire pits.
Care: Store the bags in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption. If the charcoal gets wet, it will become difficult to ignite and may produce excessive steam and smoke during the lighting process.
