Choosing the right BBQ charcoal

Choose your charcoal based on the food, the BBQ and the style of cooking. For steaks, skewers, sausages and fast grilling, natural lump charcoal is a strong choice because it gives quick heat and direct fire flavour. For longer cooks, charcoal briquettes can give more predictable burn time and steadier heat.

Kamado BBQs such as the Big Green Egg usually work best with quality natural lump charcoal because airflow control is important. Skewer grills, hibachi and konro-style grills often benefit from dense charcoal that holds heat close to the cooking surface.

For smoking, charcoal can provide the heat base while smoking wood adds flavour. Different woods suit different foods, with stronger smoke often used for beef and pork, and lighter smoke used for chicken, seafood and vegetables.

Avoid choosing charcoal only by bag size or price. Cheap charcoal can burn too quickly, create excess ash or make heat control harder. Better charcoal fuel gives you more control, cleaner flavour and a more predictable cook.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best charcoal for BBQ?

The best charcoal depends on how you cook. Lump charcoal suits hot grilling and strong fire flavour, while briquettes can suit longer cooks where steady heat is more important.

What is the difference between lump charcoal and briquettes?

Lump charcoal is natural hardwood charcoal in irregular pieces. It usually lights quickly and burns hot. Briquettes are shaped fuel pieces that can give more consistent heat and burn time.

What charcoal should I use in a Big Green Egg?

A kamado BBQ such as the Big Green Egg generally works best with quality natural lump charcoal because it supports airflow control, clean heat and temperature management.

What charcoal should I use for skewers, satay or arrosticini?

Skewer cooking works well with charcoal that gives strong, direct heat close to the food. Lump charcoal, dense sawdust charcoal or specialist charcoal can all suit skewer grills, depending on the grill and cooking style.

Can I use smoking wood with charcoal?

Yes. Charcoal can provide the heat base, while smoking wood chunks or chips add smoke flavour to meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables.
