Information
Best Charcoal Birch & Hornbeam (10 kg)
For those who love "Low & Slow" grilling, this is one of the most exciting blends on the market. Best Charcoal has combined easily combustible birch with hornbeam, which is one of the hardest wood species in Europe. The result is charcoal that is easy to light but then burns extremely long and steadily. Hornbeam is often called "ironwood" due to its density, meaning you get a lot of energy per kilo of charcoal.

The sorting consists of large chunks that ensure optimal airflow in the grill. This makes it significantly easier to fine-tune and maintain a stable temperature over many hours, whether you're holding 110°C for a brisket or 250°C for a turkey. The blend also imparts a fine and balanced smoke flavor that complements the meat without being too dominant.
Hornbeam burns almost as long as the famous white oak but has slightly different characteristics that many pitmasters prefer. Combined with birch, you get a "user-friendly" startup phase that can otherwise be challenging with such hard woods.

FAQ
What does it taste like?
Hornbeam provides a lovely, mild smoke flavor reminiscent of beech but burns longer. It fits excellently with pork, beef, and game.
Is there a lot of ash?
No, both birch and hornbeam are known for producing little ash compared to cheaper charcoal types, which is important for airflow during long sessions.
