📋 FAQ Mallee Root Lump Charcoal (35–70mm)
Q1: What size are the charcoal lumps?
A: Lumps are carefully graded between 35mm and 70mm, offering a perfect balance for airflow, even burning, and easy fire management.
Q2: What is kiln-fired charcoal, and why is it better?
A: Kiln-firing means the charcoal is produced in a controlled, high-heat environment.
This process:
Removes impurities (sap, moisture, resins).
Produces a cleaner, hotter-burning fuel.
Minimises smoke, sparks, and off-flavours compared to naturally-fired or pit-fired charcoal.
Q3: What cooking methods is this charcoal best suited for?
A: The 35–70mm lump size is ideal for:
Direct grilling (steaks, chops, vegetables).
Indirect cooking (roasts, whole chickens).
Low and slow smoking (ribs, brisket, pulled pork) with good fire management.
Q4: How long does it burn?
A: Burn times typically range from 4 to 6 hours depending on your BBQ type, airflow, and how much fuel you load.
Q5: How hot does it get?
A:
In a high-airflow setup, temps can reach 500–600°C (perfect for searing).
In low-airflow setups, it easily holds 110–135°C for long smoking sessions.
Q6: What makes Mallee root charcoal different from other types?
A: Mallee is a dense Australian hardwood. Compared to softer woods or coconut charcoal:
- It burns hotter and longer.
- Produces minimal ash.
- Has a neutral, mild smoke that enhances food flavour without bitterness.
Q7: Does it produce a lot of ash?
A: No.
Mallee root lump charcoal produces very low, fine ash, which keeps your fire breathing freely and reduces cleanup time.
Q8: Is it sustainably sourced?
A: Yes.
Mallee root charcoal is sourced from naturally regenerating Australian scrublands under sustainable land management practices.
Q9: Are there any chemical additives?
A: None.
It’s 100% natural hardwood charcoal — no additives, no binders, no accelerants.
Q10: How should I light this charcoal?
A:
Use a chimney starter and natural firelighters
Avoid using lighter fluid — it’s unnecessary and can taint the natural flavour.
Q11: Does it spark or pop when lit?
A: Very minimally.
The kiln-firing process removes volatile compounds, so sparking is rare compared to cheap lump charcoal or briquettes.
Q12: What BBQs or smokers work best with this lump size?
A: Best suited for:
Kettle grills (Weber, Hark)
Kamado grills (Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe)
Bullet smokers (Weber Smokey Mountain)
Offset smokers
Open grills (Mangals, Lebanese style BBQs or Argentinian parillas)
