HARDWOOD CHARCOAL For grilling enthusiasts, this is a product of great value. Hardwood charcoal is said to be the building block for anything to do with grilling.

However, hardwood or lump charcoal, as it is known in some regions of the world, has proved to be the preferred choice for many expert grillers. Using hardwood charcoal requires a little more experience because the heat produced is variable. How to make Hardwood Charcoal Our hardwood charcoal is made from only natural hardwood, for example, oak, hickory, cherry, mesquite or even maple. It can also be made from hardwood scrap from saw mills and from building manufacturing materials and from furniture. All these scraps are then carbonized, that is, the pieces of hardwood are burned in a low oxygen environment which is a process that takes at least a week. In industrial processing, the scraps are put in large concrete or steel silos which have a very little oxygen concentration. The process is stopped before the burning wood turns to ash which then leaves black lumps which are irregular in size. This process of making charcoal has ancient origins which date back to over thirty thousand years ago. Today, charcoal making is still practised in most third-world countries. You can make your own batch of hardwood charcoal in your own backyard. Also, lump charcoal is sold in most hardware stores at an affordable price.

Which is good for me because I use assorted flavor chips when I want that extra kick.
