BBQ Master Charcoal

Pure beech is used to produce charcoal that glows particularly hot and for a long time. The hand-picked charcoal can be lit within a short time using the electric chimney starter. It is ready for use after just 15-20 minutes and does not smell or smoke. This is due to the high carbon content (up to 95%), which is only achieved when the charcoal is allowed to smoulder.

How can you recognise good charcoal?

You should still be able to see that the charcoal was once a piece of wood (structure, shape). In contrast to tropical wood, you can still see the annual rings. It shines like gold at the break points. Here you can see that the carbon content must be very high. Pieces of hardwood charcoal hardly dust and discolour only slightly.

The charcoal from the Eisenhammer charcoal works, one of the last traditional charcoal works in Germany, is very different from industrially produced products. Made from 100% pure beech, the charcoal consists exclusively of sustainably harvested beech wood from the Düben Heath in eastern Germany. The charcoal has been specially sorted into very large pieces according to our requirements.
Piece size 6-18cm. You only need about half the amount you are used to. So it's better to start with less, because adding more is quick and the embers quickly heat up again. This way, you can enjoy relaxed barbecue evenings and if it takes a little longer, you won't have much trouble with the charcoal.
