How to choose BBQ charcoal
The right charcoal depends on what you cook and for how long. Check the bag condition, charcoal size and always keep it dry.
Match it to the cook
Short grilling benefits from quick lighting, while longer cooking needs stable heat and enough fuel.
Check the bag
Damp or heavily crushed charcoal is harder to light. Store the bag in a dry place.
Light it safely
Use products intended for BBQ lighting and never add lighter fluid to burning charcoal.
