What

Single Species BBQ lumpwood charcoal, made from 100% British hardwoods including Alder and Ash. These trees were felled under license as part of a woodland management plan in order to preserve and promote the biodiversity and sustainability of our woodlands.

Where

Our timber is sourced from as nearby as possible. With some just a stones throw from our lumpwood charcoal retort! Keeping it local and reducing unnecessary transport is a key part of our philosophy. At Slate Hill we produce and deliver the very best lumpwood charcoal UK wide

Why

QUALITY – our lumpwood charcoal making process produces some of the finest cooking material available!

SUSTAINABILITY – Unnecessary charcoal imports are damaging tropical
ecosystems and polluting the planet.

When

We Brits love a Barby come rain or shine. By using our chemical-free Charcoal you’ll be able to enjoy a quicker and cleaner burn. Faster lighting means faster feasting!

How

We make our restaurant quality charcoal using the highly efficient retort method, which uses the wood’s own volatile gases to cook itself to pure carbon. As there are no additives, lump charcoal can be ready to cook on as soon as it has reached temperature.

Some Of Our Recent Reviews

Why Buy Charcoal from Slate Hill?

We get through more than 100,000 tonnes of charcoal a year in the UK, around 90% of this is imported from abroad. A lot of the BBQ charcoal in our shops comes from countries such as Paraguay, Nigeria and Indonesia where regulation is lacking and deforestation and pollution are major problems.

In Contrast, UK made BBQ lumpwood charcoal comes from sustainably managed woodlands, from trees that will grow again or be re-planted. British hardwoods produce lumpwood charcoal that is less dense and with a much higher carbon content (up to 95%) than the imported equivalent. This means it will light easily (without the need for lighter fluid or other chemicals) and produce a clean even heat to cook on more quickly, a great reason to buy charcoal produced here in the UK.

Here at Slate Hill we produce and ship the very best restaurant quality lumpwood charcoal UK wide.
