Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about BBQ charcoal for perfect grilling results.

What is the best BBQ charcoal for grilling?

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.

What’s the difference between lumpwood charcoal and briquettes?

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.

Akira’s charcoal, sourced from Nigerian Acacia and birch, meets UK standards for clean burning and high heat. Our BBQ Charcoal 1 is perfect for British BBQ enthusiasts, and our lab-certified safety ensures hassle-free imports. Contact us at akiracharcoal.com for a quote.

Is restaurant-grade charcoal worth it for home BBQs?

Yes, restaurant-grade charcoal, like Akira’s Restaurant 2, is worth it for home BBQs if you want no smoke, high heat, and a clean burn for professional-quality grilling.

Designed for restaurants, our Restaurant 2 grade (5–12cm African birch) delivers consistent performance with minimal ash, enhancing flavor without overpowering smoke. It’s ideal for home cooks who prioritize quality and is available in 20kg BBQ charcoal bags.

What is the cheapest BBQ charcoal that’s still good quality?

Akira Charcoal’s BBQ Charcoal 2 offers affordable, high-quality charcoal with high heat and mid-heavy burn, perfect for budget-conscious grillers.

Priced competitively, our BBQ Charcoal 2 (2–5cm Acacia and birch) provides excellent value with long burn times and low ash. Bulk ordering in 20kg instant light charcoal bags reduces costs further, making it a top choice in markets like India and Peru.

How do I choose the best charcoal for a Weber kettle BBQ?

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.

What is instant light charcoal, and is it safe?

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.

Ideal for convenience, instant light charcoal ignites without lighter fluid, saving time. Akira’s version uses eco-friendly Nigerian hardwood, ensuring a clean burn with no harmful chemicals, perfect for portable BBQs and small grills.

Why choose sustainable charcoal for BBQs?

Sustainable charcoal, like Akira Charcoal’s lumpwood and palm kernel shells, reduces environmental impact while delivering high heat and clean burns for BBQs.

Sourced from certified Nigerian hardwoods, our charcoal supports responsible forestry. Our palm kernel shells offer a renewable biomass option, appealing to eco-conscious buyers in the USA, UK, Asians countries and beyond who value green grilling solutions.

How much BBQ charcoal do I need for a large barbecue?

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.

Large charcoal BBQs (e.g., barrel or extra-large grills) require more fuel for consistent heat. Akira’s 20kg BBQ charcoal bags are cost-effective for big events, with our high-heat lumpwood ensuring long-lasting performance.
