Which charcoal do you choose?

If you are a passionate BBQ lover, you know that the right charcoal is key to creating the perfect grilling experience. There are so many types of charcoal on the market, each with unique properties that can have a big impact on your cooking. Whether you like a mild flavour, prefer a more intense smoke flavour or are looking for a type that is easy to light, choosing charcoal is essential.
At Grill Fanatics, we have different types of charcoal that we would like to share with you. In this article, we explain the different types of charcoal and when it’s best to use them. That way, you can confidently make the right choice for your BBQ sessions. And remember, the right charcoal also ultimately depends on your personal preference and the type of dish you want to prepare.

The choice of charcoal can be influenced by several factors, such as the way you cook, your preference for smoke intensity and how quickly your BBQ needs to be ready. In our Charcoal Wizard (see image to the right), you will see a handy comparison of our different types of charcoal, with specific properties such as smoke flavour, burn time, and how fast you can light them. We hope this will make your choice easier. Trying is learning. Good luck!
