The best charcoal for your Big Green Egg
Every cooking session begins with the right fuel. The key to a successful, tasty dish is using the highest quality charcoal.
Pure Charcoal
The Big Green Egg Pure Charcoal takes the brand’s environmental consciousness a step further. This revolutionary new charcoal, characterised by its unmatched purity, is produced through a unique process, resulting in a product rich in carbon, virtually dust-free and practically smokeless. This is especially beneficial since occasional smoke can emanate from firelighters, dripping fats, or uncharred fragments from the production process. Big Green Egg Pure Charcoal stands out as one of the highest quality, most durable charcoals on the market - a top pick for discerning and eco-aware users.
Pure Charcoal comprises a mix of sustainably sourced FSC-certified European oak, beech and hornbeam. Being softer, the beech wood ignites quickly, while the harder oak and hornbeam ensure an extended, stable burn. Due to its high quality, it is also neutral in taste. If you want to add an extra smokey nuance to your dishes, consider combining it with some Chips or Chunks.
100% Natural Charcoal
Big Green Egg’s 100% Natural Charcoal is derived entirely from beech and hornbeam. This premium hardwood has an impressive burn time, making it highly suitable as a charcoal choice. Its extra-large pieces burn for a long time, produce minimal smoke and generate exceptionally little ash, making it a standout in our range!
Our 100% Natural Charcoal carries the FSC seal of approval, meaning it’s produced from residual wood or trees grown specifically in sustainably managed forests, which are replanted post-harvest. Free from chemical ingredients, fragrances and flavourings, the charcoal is produced in Europe and provides a neutral taste.
If you want to add an extra smokey touch to the flavour of your dishes, consider combining it with some Wood Chips or Chunks.
