Restaurant Grade Lump Charcoal is Namibian hardwood lump charcoal in a 10kg bag: big pieces that light fast, get very hot and hold their shape on the grate instead of collapsing through it. The Firewood Company delivers lump charcoal from Parow across Cape Town, the Winelands and the West Coast.

How to cook with it
Once the lumps are glowing, bank them to one side for two-zone cooking: sear over the hot side, then move the meat across to finish. For a long cook, build the base with briquettes and add lump for the sear.
Lump Charcoal: common questions
Lump charcoal or briquettes: which is better?
Lump for heat and speed: it lights fast, gets very hot and holds its shape. Briquettes for a long, steady cook. The house tip on a kettle: briquettes for the base, lump for the sear.
Can I use lump charcoal in a kamado or kettle braai?
Yes. The big lumps answer to the vents on a kettle or kamado. On a Weber, briquettes are our default, with lump for extra heat.
Is a 10kg bag of lump charcoal enough for a big braai?
Usually, yes: a 10kg bag sees a big group of friends and family through the meat without rebuilding the fire.
How do I light lump charcoal?
Pile the lumps over one or two firelighters, or fill a chimney starter; they catch fast. Start cooking once they're glowing.
