FAQs
Add the charcoal to your Big Green Egg. Stop pouring when it reaches 5cm below the rim of the Fire Ring. This will provide the right amount of clearance beneath your cooking surfaces.
Open a little indent in the centre of the pile for a firestarter to nestle in the charcoal. Light the corner of the firestarter, place it in the coals, then build a little teepee of charcoal on top.
Leave the Dome fully open for 5-10 minutes to get the fire going, then close the Dome for 10 minutes more to allow the internal temperature to build. Keep both vents fully open until the thermometer is 10°C away from your recipe’s target temperature. Then it’s time to put in your chosen cooking surfaces.
Keep it somewhere dry, ideally in a garage or shed, stored in an airtight bin or our Shop now. When you first open a bag, the lumps are extremely dry and will light very quickly. If allowed to absorb a lot of moisture, they’ll be slower to light. To prevent this, fold over the opened top of the bag several times. If you’ve got a few remnants left in an older bag, light your EGG with a fresh new bag then add the older coals once the fire is going.
Our lumpwood charcoal is made from pure, sustainably sourced hardwood, with no nasty chemical accelerants. This means it lights quickly and burns cleanly – good for cooking and good for your health. It is also remarkably economical, with the coals often reusable across multiple cooks. And charcoal isn’t just a fuel, it’s an ingredient in its own right. Each of our three different options lends its own unique flavour profile to your food.
