FAQs
Lumpwood or briquettes?
Varies by batch—lumpwood lights fast and burns hot; briquettes give longer, steadier heat.
How much do I need?
For a standard kettle BBQ, start with ⅓–½ chimney for quick cooks; full chimney for longer sessions.
Can I mix with wood?
Yes—use charcoal for heat and add wood chunks for flavour.
Messy?
Low-ash formula for an easier cleanup once fully cooled.
