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.
I used this coal for slow cooking my meats and also slow smoking again it started easy with small blow torch (I use a blow torch because it doesn’t leave a tang like paraffin based fire starting materials) two handfuls of charcoal and 4 hours later we had some fantastic melt in the mouth slow cooked bbq ribs
There are two methods to lighting Big K Lumpwood Charcoal:
Using Big K firelighters
Place several Big K firelighters onto a bed of Big K Lumpwood Charcoal, then heap more charcoal over and around the lighter cubes. Light the firelighters with a long match or taper, and wait roughly 20-25 minutes for the flames to die down and for the charcoal to take on a greyish appearance. Then, spread out the coals, wait for any further flames to die down and start to cook. Remember to cook over heat not flames.
Using Big K Lighting Gel
Heap Big K Lumpwood Charcoal onto the BBQ grate, then spread out over the cooking area. Using Big K Lighting Gel squeeze approximately half a cup of fluid over the charcoal, then allow to soak in for 1 minute before lighting. Wait roughly 20-25 minutes for the flames to die down and for the charcoal to take on a greyish appearance. Then, spread out the coals, wait for any further flames to die down and start to cook. Remember to cook over heat not flames.
