Marabu charcoal is growing in popularity in professional kitchens and barbecue connoisseurs and it is easy to see why.
Made sustainably by harvesting wood by the very invasive thorn bush which grows aggressively and encroaches land which must be controlled. Due to its density it makes a fantastic hardwood charcoal, which is long lasting, up to 3 hours, and flavoursome.
With absolutely no additives or chemicals, RCH15 is popular in restaurants across the country, but is also perfect for home barbecues, especially if you need a long cook time for a large joint of meat or a long party. We only sell the larger graded pieces, giving you a consistently high heat that’ll last for up to 3 hours of cooking.
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.
Honestly this is the best charcoal I’ve ever used and I’ve been BBQing for over 25 years! Kept my bullet smoker going for well over 6 hours on Christmas Day, enough for two large racks of ribs with one lit chimney starter over a layer of unlit! Absolutely amazing stuff!!
Used yesterday for the first time. Smoked some Turkey legs to get a feel for it. Didn’t use a lot of charcoal for a 3 hour cook, had plenty leftover. Next cook will be a brisket using these.
Create a base of Marabu 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.
Free next day delivery on orders over £30 (inc. VAT). For order values less than £30 a delivery charge of £8 applies. Exclusions apply outside of mainland UK, click here for more details on surcharges. All deliveries are made by Parcelforce.

Marabu Charcoal is sourced from an invasive thorn tree. Harvesting this invasive species reclaims farmland and provides valuable work for local communities. Read more about Big K's commitment to sustainable and ethical charcoal here.

Great heat, but sparks quite a bit when first lit. Easily retains heat hot for a large family BBQ.
