B&B Charcoal

10/19/2026

Lump charcoal is just wood that's been through a little 🔥
It's real hardwood, burned down until all that's left is carbon. That's it. No chemicals, no fillers, no mystery ingredients - which is why the pieces are all different shapes and sizes.

It lights fast, burns hot, and responds when you open the vents and add air. Great for searing, great for kamados, kettles, Santa Maria grills, and any grill that uses charcoal.

B&B makes the best oak, hickory, and mesquite lump charcoal - so you're picking your flavor, not just your fuel.

Team B&B 2027 applications close Oct. 31st, and they won't be open past midnight. Comment “TEAM B&B 2027” and we’ll send ya the application. Then tag the pitmaster who keeps saying “next year.” This is next year!!!

If you’ve been sitting on it because you’re not sure you’re “comp enough,” this team isn’t just trophies. It’s the folks cooking a benefit dinner, the ones teaching the neighbor how to light a chimney - without lighter fluid - and sharing a meal that went sideways just to help someone else learn with them.

Apple wood has never started a fight at a cookout. 🍎

Hickory shows up loud. Mesquite is invitation-only.... But, apple wood shows up with a pie. 😉

It's a mild, slightly sweet fruitwood, and it pairs great with pork, chicken, turkey, and fish. And because it's mild, it's almost impossible to oversmoke anything with it (as long as you're running clean blue smoke), making it a great choice when people are learning to smoke or know they have people coming for dinner who don't love 'smoke flavor.'

Chips for quick cooks (gas grills included). Chunks for the long ones. PS: And no soaking. That's steam, not smoke. 🔥

👇 Chips or chunks?
