Charcoal for Sale Online – Choose the Right Fuel for Your Grill

Buying charcoal shouldn’t mean grabbing whatever bag happens to be left at the supermarket.

Our charcoal range gives you a choice of three distinct fuels, from easy-to-control briquettes for long cooking sessions to premium lumpwood charcoal for high-heat grilling and serious outdoor cooking.

Whether you’re buying charcoal for a weekend BBQ, stocking up for summer or ordering larger quantities for regular use, you can choose the type and bundle size that suits how you cook.

Simply select your charcoal from the range above and order online for convenient delivery direct to your door.

Which Charcoal Should You Buy?

The best choice depends less on the name on the bag and more on how you intend to cook.

Longburn Charcoal Briquettes – for steady, controlled heat

Choose our Longburn Charcoal Briquettes when consistency and cooking time matter most.

Their uniform shape produces predictable heat, making them particularly well suited to smokers, kettle BBQs, indirect cooking and longer sessions where you don’t want to keep rebuilding the fire.

Available in 3, 6 or 12 × 4kg bags, they’re also a practical option for keeping a dependable supply of charcoal ready for regular BBQs.

Best for: smoking, low-and-slow cooking, longer BBQs and controlled temperatures.

Premium Gourmet Lumpwood – versatile lumpwood for home BBQs

Our Premium Gourmet Lumpwood Charcoal is the versatile choice for cooks who prefer the responsiveness and flavour of natural lumpwood.

It gets up to cooking temperature quickly, reacts readily to airflow adjustments and works especially well for direct grilling and searing.

Choose from 2, 6 or 12 × 5kg bags, making it equally suitable for an occasional BBQ or stocking up for a busy summer.

Best for: steaks, burgers, kebabs, vegetables and general-purpose charcoal grilling.

Premium Professional Lumpwood – larger quantities for serious cooking

For regular grilling, entertaining, catering or simply reducing how often you need to reorder, choose our Premium Professional Lumpwood BBQ Charcoal.

Supplied in larger 10kg bags, with bundles of 4, 6 or 8 bags, this is the biggest charcoal option in our range and is designed for customers who get through significantly more fuel.

The larger lumpwood pieces make it particularly suited to high-heat cooking, larger grills and cooks who value strong airflow and responsive temperature control.

Best for: frequent BBQs, large grills, entertaining, catering and serious outdoor cooks.

Buying Charcoal in Larger Quantities

If you BBQ regularly, buying one small bag at a time can quickly become inconvenient.

Every charcoal product in our range is therefore available as a multi-bag bundle, allowing you to buy a larger quantity in one order and keep charcoal ready for future cooks.

Depending on the product selected, options range from smaller home-use bundles through to up to 80kg of Professional Lumpwood Charcoal.

Buying more at once can be particularly useful if you:

• BBQ regularly throughout spring and summer
• Run long smoking sessions
• Entertain larger groups
• Use a large kettle, kamado or commercial-style grill
• Want to reduce the number of times you need to reorder
• Have suitable dry storage available

Check the individual product options above to compare quantities and prices before ordering.

Our charcoal orders are despatched on the next working day, with parcel delivery available to most UK mainland addresses. Free parcel delivery is available on orders over £100.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy charcoal online?

You can order charcoal directly from FirewoodFund and choose between charcoal briquettes, Gourmet Lumpwood and Professional Lumpwood. Each product is available in several multi-bag quantities, so you can choose an amount appropriate for how often you cook.

Can I buy charcoal in bulk?

We offer larger multi-bag charcoal bundles rather than loose wholesale charcoal. Depending on the product, you can order up to 48kg of Longburn Briquettes, 60kg of Premium Gourmet Lumpwood or 80kg of Premium Professional Lumpwood in one bundle.

Should I buy lumpwood charcoal or briquettes?

Choose lumpwood if you primarily want high heat, fast response to airflow and traditional charcoal grilling.

Choose briquettes if steady temperatures and longer cooking sessions are more important, particularly for smoking and indirect cooking.

Which charcoal is best for occasional home BBQs?

Premium Gourmet Lumpwood is a versatile option for conventional home grilling, while Longburn Briquettes are worth considering if you prefer predictable heat or regularly cook indirectly.

The smaller bundle options let you try either without purchasing the largest quantity.

Which charcoal should I buy for smoking?

Charcoal briquettes are particularly useful for smoking because their uniform size helps provide consistent heat over longer cooking periods.

Lumpwood can also be used successfully in smokers, especially when responsive temperature control is preferred.

How quickly will my charcoal be sent?

Parcel orders are despatched on the next working day. Delivery charges depend on your order value, with free parcel delivery available on orders over £100.

How should I store charcoal?

Keep unopened and opened charcoal somewhere dry and protected from rain or persistent moisture. A garage, shed or other covered storage area is ideal provided the bags remain dry.
