CHARCOAL, CHUNKS, CHIPS AND PELLETS FAQ

Can you use wood chunks or chips with charcoal?

Yes, wood chunks or chips can be added to charcoal to create extra smoke and flavor. As the charcoal burns, the wood slowly smolders and adds a richer smoky taste to the food.

Does charcoal burn hotter than wood?

Yes, charcoal usually burns hotter and more steadily than regular wood. It produces consistent heat and less smoke, which makes it popular for grilling and controlling cooking temperatures.

What is lump charcoal and how is it different from briquettes?

Lump charcoal is made from natural pieces of carbonized wood, while briquettes are compressed charcoal mixed with other materials. Lump charcoal burns hotter and lights faster, while briquettes burn longer and provide more consistent heat.

What is the difference between charcoal and wood for BBQ?

Charcoal burns hotter and more consistently, making it easier to control grilling temperatures. Wood produces more smoke and stronger flavor but can be harder to manage during cooking.

What type of charcoal is best for grilling?
