Fogo Lump Charcoal

Unlike briquettes, which are compressed sawdust mixed with binders and fillers, this is 100% natural hardwood. It burns hotter, produces significantly less ash, and doesn't impart any chemical aftertaste to your food.

Yes, it is highly versatile. Because it burns clean and maintains steady temperatures, it works equally well for getting a hard sear on steaks or sustaining a consistent, low temperature for long barbecue sessions.

Because it is all-natural and free from chemical additives, it produces very little smoke compared to standard briquettes. While all lump charcoal can spark slightly when first lit, this burns cleanly once it reaches temperature.

Usage depends heavily on your grill size and cooking style. For a standard backyard kettle grill, this bag is generally enough for three to four moderate grilling sessions, though high-heat searing will consume the fuel faster than low-temperature smoking.

We recommend avoiding lighter fluid, as it can leave a chemical residue that affects the flavor of your food. Instead, use a charcoal chimney starter or natural fire starters to get the coals going quickly and cleanly.
