The Benefits of a Charcoal BBQ
Getting started with a BBQ may seem a bit of a challenge, but there is no need to use lighter fluids, which will add an unpleasant taste to your food. Our organic firelighters work just as good as the traditional ones but without the smell of lighting fluid or paraffin. This makes them perfect for cooking!
Versatility is one of the main factors to consider when purchasing a BBQ. Their constant radiation of heat will help you cook for longer. They also give you the option to sear meat hot and fast. On the other hand, you can also slow-cook larger cuts by placing them away from the direct heat and offsetting from the hot coals.
How to Use a Charcoal BBQ
As mentioned previously, charcoal BBQs allow you to cook with more versatility and for longer. Therefore, opting for premium charcoal will enhance the flavour of your delicious food. Natural lumpwood charcoal enhances the flavours of your food with natural smoked aromas. To enhance the flavours further when using lumpwood charcoal, try mixing in some of our smokin’ wood chips and chunks. Our Smokin’ range comes in a variety of flavours.
Our charcoal briquettes are made from compressed wood and natural starch binding agents to give you a steady cooking heat. The benefits of briquettes are that they achieve; quick to reach cooking temperatures, they also maintain a consistent cooking heat, and they have a long-lasting cooking time of an average of three hours. Their prolonged burn is great for those with smokers, giving the best cooking experience for both home BBs and professional kitchens.
It is helpful with all this in mind to buy the best quality products you can to meet your cooking needs. Furthermore, you should try to consider ethical and environmental factors.
