ECOFUEL™ Organic Alder Lumpwood Charcoal 6kg
Build it once. Let it run.
If you've been grilling for a while, or are simply curious about what cooking over real wood can bring to your food, there’s a good chance you’ve used charcoal that smoked heavily, was hard to light, and turned the whole outdoor cooking experience into a failed experiment.
As with all our fuel products, we put careful thought into our Alder Lumpwood, so both seasonal and professional grillers can enjoy a seamless BBQ experience and let their food speak for itself. Produced from responsibly sourced, 100% FSC®-certified European alder wood, it lights quickly and settles into a steady, responsive fire in 15 to 20 minutes, without producing large clouds of smoke.
Produced using modern carbonisation processes, the Alder lumpwood has low moisture and high fixed carbon, which means the lumps ignite cleanly, burn more efficiently, and hold heat consistently throughout BBQ sessions. The 6kg bag holds about 50L of restaurant-grade lumps, enough for multiple BBQ sessions without running short.
The larger, more consistent restaurant-grade pieces allow better airflow from the start, so you can build a proper base of heat and keep it going without constantly adding more fuel. This is the same behaviour we have seen in busy kitchens, where fuel needs to hold heat and respond consistently throughout service, without interruption.
In taste profile, Alder adds a light, clean smoke that lets the ingredients shine. It’s widely used in professional kitchens for fish, poultry, and vegetables, where control over flavour is critical and heavier woods like Oak would dominate the dish.
So whether you’re cooking for family or friends, running a busy kitchen, or simply wanting a fire that behaves as expected, this is the bag you reach for when the cooking matters.

I use only this charcoal for my BBQ now, lights easily, burns hot with only the woody, smoky smells to enhance your food. I like buying the large bags as it keeps me in fuel for at least a month. Quick delivery every time. 👍

Performance. Alder charcoal delivers a steady, responsive burn that holds heat over time, and the high carbon content allows you to maintain a consistent cooking temperature for longer without frequent top-ups.
Use. The larger bag is designed for longer BBQ sessions or repeated cooking. Suitable for a large family BBQ, or multiple rounds on the grill without the need for constant refuelling. For outdoor use only.
Bag Size. We packed this into a 6kg recyclable paper bag, which holds approx. 50L of consistent, restaurant-grade lumps to support good airflow and stable burning.
Storage. Always store your lumpwood indoors in a dry area and reseal it between uses to preserve the quality.
