Dura is our longest burning lumpwood charcoal, with a cooking time of over 3 hours. If you need to depend on consistent heat for a long cook, Dura is ideal for both home and restaurant barbecuers. Whether you’re roasting a whole chicken for a party at home or you need to make sure your restaurant grill is up to temperature for the full service, Dura is long-lasting and dependable, making it the perfect choice.
Dura is also our only restaurant grade charcoal authorised for use in smoke control areas. It’s made from 100% White Quebracho, which is a very high density wood that burns with no smoke. This allows Dura to create a consistent high heat output that’s perfect no matter what you’re cooking.
Dependable, consistent and definitely up to any challenge, Dura will last as long as you can cook. Try it today and make your BBQ epic.
Please note all cooking times are approximate and depend on a range of factors, including quantity of charcoal and type of barbecue used, lighting method and weather conditions.

My first time using the Dura charcoal and have to say I was very impressed with how quickly it lit with very little firelighters (eco firelighters used) and the amount of heat generated meant I was cooking within 30 minutes, as it was just my wife and I only used a few pieces of charcoal just enough to cook chicken and seafood, great even heat distribution and gave a really good flavour to the food. Some really big bits of charcoal in the bag which will need reducing to smaller more use able pieces which is better than lots of useless powder in the bag. This is a little more expensive than my usual charcoal but I feel its well worth the cost, would definitely recommend
Excellent delivery service that is very informative when it is due at your doorstep. I have decided to give this type of fuel a try as opposed from the quality briquettes I have been using for many years. I have yet to use this type but am ready to go and see if this lump wood provides the extra flavour and durability it claims to provide, so time will tell. Excellent web site that not only provides quality products but also top tips and recipes. So far so good.
Great charcoal. Very hot and hardly any smoke. Didn’t burn for as long as I expected so ended up using more than was hoping to for one grilling session
Disappointed with the size of charcoal in this bag. All small lumps. Usually much bigger lumps so must have been unlucky this time. Dura charcoal burns clean and gives good heat. Nice for low and slow lasting a longtime. I will mix the small lumps in with my other charcoal and hope this is a one off.
Charcoal is great. Big lumps of long lasting charcoal. Delivered v efficiently – although each sack comes in a cardboard box – which means a lot of rubbish.
This is good charcoal. Burns for a long time. My only issues with it are sometimes the pieces are far too big (size of your forearm), and also the excessive amount of wastage/dust/shrapnel you get at the bottom of the bag. I usually get a couple of KG of unusable wastage which is a bit too much.
Nice charcoal, pieces not as big as I would’ve expected for restaurant grade though. Also seems to generate a fair bit of ash that stops airflow (using on long slow BBQ cooks). Think that I prefer the ACH15 that I have used previously from BigK.
Delivery arrived eventually but considering what is happening in the world at the moment they did well. As yet I haven’t used product but am waiting for slightly better weather.
Massive lumps great when I need bigger cooking area. Burns a bit faster than the apple wood. I’ve found mixing the two works well, larger bits of this and then smaller bits of apple. Makes a nice balanced cooking temp and time
First time using this type of charcoal and have had 3-4 bbq so far, this charcoal last very long and it gives an intense heat. Not yet tried on long cooks (+ 3hours). So far very happy and will use this as my regular charcoal.
Create a base of Dura charcoal, add 3-4 Big K Woodies firelighters and light. Once the firelighters are burning, cover with additional charcoal to make a pyramid. This allows the flames to rise up from the bottom, heating the coals quickly and evenly. After approximately 20 minutes, spread the coals out. Then, simply wait another 5-10 minutes and you're ready to start cooking.

Charcoal has been great. Would be 5 stars except bag seemed to have been poorly handled and as a result a lot of small pieces.

Good lumpwood charcoal. May need to break larger pieces up if you use a chimney starter like me.
