Hardwood lump charcoal

The fire behaves like the material.

Natural lump charcoal gives cooks a direct relationship with piece size, density and airflow. It lights with a lively response and provides the visual, aromatic language of live-fire cooking.

Primechar separates restaurant, retail and oversized commercial grades so buyers can specify the size distribution and service profile before samples, packing and purchase terms are agreed.

Three hardwood grades
