Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about BBQ charcoal for perfect grilling results.
The best BBQ charcoal depends on your grill and needs, but lumpwood charcoal, like Akira Charcoal’s BBQ Charcoal 1, offers high heat, long burn times, and authentic flavor for grilling. For restaurants, our Restaurant 2 grade provides a clean, no-smoke burn.
Lumpwood charcoal, made from African hardwoods like Acacia and birch, burns hotter and cleaner than briquettes, making it ideal for kettle BBQs and kamado grills. Akira’s lab-tested charcoal ensures low ash and consistent performance, perfect for both home and professional use.
Lumpwood charcoal, such as Akira’s BBQ Charcoal 1, is pure hardwood, offering high heat and natural flavor, while briquettes, like our barbecue charcoal briquettes, provide consistent burn and affordability.
Lumpwood burns hotter and faster, ideal for searing, while briquettes are uniform and burn longer, suiting slow cooking. Akira’s lumpwood uses sustainable Nigerian hardwood, and our briquettes are tested for low ash, catering to diverse grilling needs.
You can buy high-quality charcoal from Akira Charcoal, a trusted supplier of restaurant-grade lumpwood charcoal and briquettes, available for bulk orders with global shipping to the UK.

For a Weber kettle BBQ, choose Akira’s BBQ Charcoal 1 for high heat and long burns or Restaurant 2 for no-smoke grilling, both compatible with Weber’s design.
Weber kettle BBQs thrive with lumpwood charcoal (5–15cm) for direct grilling or briquettes for low-and-slow cooking. Akira’s African hardwood charcoal ensures optimal airflow and heat control, enhancing your Weber grilling experience.
Instant light charcoal, like Akira’s instant light BBQ charcoal bags, is pre-treated for quick ignition, and ours is lab-tested to be safe and non-hazardous per IMDG standards.

For a large barbecue, plan for 5–10kg of Akira’s BBQ Charcoal 1 or briquettes per hour, depending on grill size and cooking style.
