Big Green Egg is committed to eco-friendly and natural products — what else would you expect from a company whose middle name is “Green”?! Big Green Egg painstakingly sources our natural charcoal to ensure that it contains no fillers, nitrates, chemicals, anthracite coal, limestone, treated wood or petroleum products. Unlike some of the other charcoals and briquettes on the market today, pure and natural Big Green Egg charcoal is premium carbonized wood with NO additives whatsoever.
Because it lights quickly and burns hotter and longer than most other woods, eucalyptus wood is the preferred fuel for the most famous Brazilian steakhouses. Big Green Egg Lump Charcoal reaches cooking temperature in just minutes, and is more fuel efficient than charcoal briquettes or pellets.
Whether you are grilling churrasco in the gaucho tradition, or cooking a more delicate cut of fish or pork, you’ll enjoy the mild, oaky flavor of our restaurant quality Brazilian Hardwood Lump Charcoal. This subtle flavor profile pairs well with smoking chips and chunks for a variety of flavor profiles.
