Best for / not for
- Best for whole chicken, snoek on the Weber or a leg of lamb over indirect heat: steady beats fierce.
- Briquettes or lump? Briquettes for a long, steady cook; lump charcoal for a fast, hot sear. Quick weeknight braai? Namib Charcoal, our 5kg charcoal.
- An open braai instead of a kettle? Braai wood such as kameeldoring wood: one 18kg bag gives a full grid of coals.
- See all our charcoal.
How to cook with them
Bank the lit briquettes to one side for indirect heat, or lay them in a snake around the kettle for a long, slow smoke. The house tip: briquettes for the base, lump for the sear.
Namib Briquettes: common questions
Are Namib Briquettes made of coal?
No. They are charcoal briquettes made from Namibian hardwood, for the braai and the Weber. Coal for a stove is our Premium Anthracite.
Which briquettes are best for a Weber?
Charcoal briquettes that light predictably and hold a steady heat. Namib Briquettes are our default for any Weber or kettle braai: Namibian hardwood charcoal, 4kg a bag.
How do I light charcoal briquettes?
One or two firelighters under the pile, or a chimney starter. Let them ash over before you cook.
Can I put wood on my Weber?
No, we don't recommend wood on a Weber or any kettle braai. Use briquettes, or charcoal for extra heat.
