Big Green Egg All Natural Lump Charcoal

Big Green Egg has long been committed to eco-friendly and natural products – what else would you expect from a company whose middle name is “Green”? Our charcoal is made from Black Wattle (Acacia Mearnsii) which is a fast-growing, leguminous tree used in the paper making process. Our charcoal is the result of off-cuts produced on a farm in Kareedouw, Eastern Cape.

Great flavour starts with great fuel and an added benefit of using this sustainably sourced, restaurant grade lump wood is the intensity of flavour it gives to the food cooked on it. Our lump charcoal is a renewable fuel and we do not cut forests to produce this all-natural product. It is carefully sourced to ensure it contains no fillers, nitrates, chemicals, treated wood or petroleum products.

Big Green Egg South Africa charcoal is made in South Africa from 100% natural hardwood. It is easy to light and is usually ready for cooking in a few minutes. It burns hotter and more efficiently than charcoal briquettes. Lump charcoal produces less ash, so there is minimal waste and clean up … delivering value in every bag.

Your food is simply going to taste better when you cook with our charcoal … in fact, many chefs consider Big Green Egg charcoal to be the “secret ingredient” to the fabulous flavour of food cooked on an EGG. You put a lot of effort into creating your favourite recipes and meals, so don’t stop short when it comes to selecting the best fuel for your EGG … and your food. Without harsh chemicals or odours that can be released when cooking with briquettes or other similar products, your food simply tastes better.
