Easy to Use
Our natural lump charcoal lights quickly and heats up to cooking temperature in minutes … the same as most gas, pellet or briquette grills. Lighting the charcoal is quick and easy using our natural starter cubes or an electric or butane EGGniter, and lump charcoal produces less ash than briquets so there is minimal cleanup. The insulating ceramic walls of an EGG make it extremely fuel efficient … any charcoal that remains in the grill after cooking can be reused at the next cookout, delivering more value in every bag.
What's the Difference?
Big Green Egg natural lump charcoal is a renewable fuel. All of the wood used to produce our oak & hickory lump charcoal is sourced from surplus, scrap or unusable wood from lumber mills; we do not cut forests to produce this all-natural product, nor do we use any wood from sources other than a mill. Unlike some charcoal and briquets on the market today, Big Green Egg lump charcoal is pure hardwood that has been burned slowly in an airless environment until all its moisture has been driven off. What is left is pure carbonized wood… that’s it!
Natural. Flavorful. Efficient.
Big Green Egg has long been committed to eco-friendly and natural products – what else would you expect from a company whose middle name is “Green”? But not all charcoal is created equal, and so Big Green Egg carefully sources our fuel to ensure that it contains no fillers, nitrates, chemicals, treated wood or petroleum products. You put a lot of effort into creating your favorite recipes and meals, so don’t stop short when it comes to selecting the most flavorful – and most efficient – fuel for your EGG.
