Eight kilos of natural lump charcoal with FSC certification. The base fuel of any kamado: a clean ember, no additives and responsibly sourced.
A kamado is only as good as the charcoal it burns, and natural lump is what the manual asks for. Unlike briquettes, it carries no binders or fillers: it lights clean, passes on no chemical flavours and leaves very little ash, which matters greatly in a ceramic firebox managed by airflow. It is the base everything else is built on.
The eight-kilo sack is a regular-use format, not a trial size: it lasts many sessions, especially in a kamado, where unburnt charcoal is reused in the next cook thanks to the oxygen control that snuffs the ember when you close it down. That efficiency is one of the kamado's great arguments, and good charcoal makes the most of it.
FSC certification guarantees that the source wood comes from responsibly managed forests, a detail that carries weight when you burn fuel regularly. Honest charcoal, no tricks, which is exactly what a kamado needs.
The fuel a kamado deserves: natural lump, clean, low ash and FSC-certified. A big sack for anyone who cooks often.

FAQ
Why lump charcoal and not briquettes in a kamado?
Natural lump carries no binders, lights clean, adds no chemical flavours and leaves little ash, which is ideal for a kamado's airflow control.
Can leftover charcoal be reused?
Yes. In a kamado, closing the air vents snuffs the ember; the unburnt charcoal is reused on the next cook.
What does FSC certification mean?
That the source wood comes from responsibly managed forests, a recognised mark of forestry sustainability.
Does it leave much ash?
Less than briquettes; with no fillers, most of the lump is burning charcoal, which makes cleaning the kamado easier.
Is it good for a regular barbecue too?
Yes, it is a universal lump charcoal suitable for any charcoal barbecue, not just kamados.
