Are you looking for the best BBQ charcoal in Australia? If so, you've come to the right place! In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss all of the different types of BBQ charcoal available and help you decide which one is right for you. We'll also provide tips on how to use BBQ charcoal for the best results. So, whether you're a beginner or a BBQ expert, read on for all the information you need to make a perfect choice!
BBQ charcoal comes in many different forms, but the two most common are lump charcoal and briquettes. Lump charcoal is made from 100% natural wood and is typically considered the superior option. It lights more easily, burns hotter, and produces less smoke than briquettes. Briquettes are made from a mix of compressed wood and coal with accelerants, which means they are hard to light and burn for a longer period of time. They also produce more smoke and ash than most lump charcoals.
So, which type of BBQ charcoal should you choose? If you're looking for the best results, we recommend using Flaming Coals Lump charcoal in the smoker or Australian-made Mallee Root or Gidgee. It's easy to light, burns hot, and produces minimal smoke. However, if you want a steadier burn or prefer the convenience of briquettes, they will also work well. Just keep in mind that you may need to use more briquettes to achieve the same results and you will not be able to light them with a Flaming Coals Starter Wand as lump charcoal.
Now that you know all about the different types of BBQ charcoal available, it's time to learn how to use it! Here are a few tips:
- Start loading up your charcoal starter chimney and place a fire lighter underneath. Once the coals are lit, add more as needed to reach your desired temperature. If you want a quicker result with lump charcoal, use a Flaming Coals Starter Wand
- For best results, wait until the coals are completely covered in white ash before cooking. This indicates that they're ready to use.
- If you want a hot fire for searing meat, pile the coals up in one area of the BBQ. For a more moderate fire, spread the coals out evenly.
- To control the temperature of your BBQ, use the vents to add or remove airflow as needed.
Follow these tips and you'll be well on your way to BBQ success! And don't forget, if you're ever in doubt, give BBQ Spit Rotisseries a call for your BBQ expert. We will be happy to help you choose the best charcoal for your needs and give you even more tips on how to use it. Happy grilling!
