The Timber Charcoal Co. LLC story
The Timber Charcoal Co. LLC carries on a proud family tradition of creating high quality Missouri Ozark hardwood lump charcoal. Our high quality lump charcoal is the result of many years of experience. R.Q. Hamilton started his charcoal business in 1960. R.Q.’s son, Quinten and his wife Judy, continued the family tradition when they started Timber Charcoal Co in 1975 and continued to work with R.Q.
When EPA air quality regulations limiting the amount of smoke and soot caused many small operators to leave the charcoal business in 1995, Timber Charcoal Co. LLC developed a pollution control system to capture and destroy the smoke created during the charcoal creation process.
Chris and Todd, two of Quinten and Judy’s sons, continue the lump charcoal family tradition by handling the day-to-day operations for the business. The family tradition is moving to the next generation as well. Chris’s son, Alex, also now works at the company.
Timber Charcoal Co. LLC combines an environmentally safe, modern processing procedure along with traditional techniques to create a superior product. Timber Charcoal Co. LLC is one of the last family owned independent producers of hardwood lump charcoal in the United States.
