Our Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal is made in the Ozarks of Southern Missouri. The wood used to manufacture the lump charcoal is a mixture of hardwoods that are primarily oak and hickory woods.
How is Timber Charcoal made?
Step 1: Concrete kilns are filled with slab bundles.
What is a slab bundle? The hardwood slab bundles used to make lump charcoal are a waste product created by sawmills when trees are turned into lumber. The waste wood pieces (called slabs) are bound together to make bundles for ease of transportation.

Step 2: Put on the door and light the wood on fire.

Step 3: Cut off the air supply to the fire and let the charcoal rest.
It’s essential to stop the burning process at just the right time and then allow the kiln to cool off naturally for the best charcoal.
Step 4: Remove those huge hunks of charcoal from the kiln.
A controlled burning process bakes the wood to remove tar and sap, leaving behind only carbon.

Step 5: Remove the charcoal from the kiln.
Most of our charcoal is sold wholesale to gourmet lump retailers and the restaurant industry. Our hardwood lump charcoal produces a long-lasting, hot burning fire that adds a great smoke flavor to grilled and smoked foods.
