FAQs

What is Mallee Root Charcoal?

Mallee Root charcoal is made from the dense roots of the Australian mallee tree — a native eucalypt renowned for its hardness, density, and incredible burn characteristics.

Unlike generic “premium lump charcoal” which is often made from mystery mixed hardwoods or imports, Mallee Root charcoal burns hotter, lasts longer, and adds a cleaner flavour to your cook. It also produces minimal ash, making clean-up easy and airflow consistent.

If you're serious about your BBQ, the difference isn’t just noticeable — it’s game-changing.

How do I light lump charcoal properly?

Easy. No chemicals, no stress.

Here’s how the pros do it:

  • Load your charcoal into a chimney starter.
  • Light natural firelighters or crumpled newspaper under the chimney
  • Let the charcoal catch for 10–15 minutes until it’s glowing red with a light white/grey ash.
  • Pour lit coals into your grill
  • Spread them evenly, adjust airflow, and you’re ready to roll.

Is your charcoal suitable for offset smokers?

Absolutely — and our Signature Lump Charcoal is made for it.

Offset smokers need charcoal that can go the distance. You want stable, long-lasting heat, minimal ash, and no surprises halfway through a 10-hour brisket. That’s exactly what our Signature Grade delivers.

🔥 Signature Lump Charcoal: Larger, denser pieces for low-and-slow perfection. It burns hot and steady, holds temps beautifully, and won’t crumble under pressure.

Whether you're smoking brisket, pork shoulder, or lamb for hours on end, this is the charcoal your smoker deserves.

Where are you based?

We’re proudly based in regional New South Wales, right in the heart of Mallee country.

Every single bag is kiln-fired, screened, and packed right here in Australia — supporting local jobs, local economy, and your next great BBQ.

No cheap imports. No factory-floor junk. Just premium Aussie charcoal done the right way.

Can I use it for slow cooking and grilling?

Absolutely — and we’ve got the perfect grade for whatever’s on the menu.

  • Slow cooking? Go with our Signature Lump Charcoal. The dense, kiln-fired chunks burn low and slow for hours, making it ideal for ribs, roasts, and all-day smokes.
  • Everyday grilling? Reach for the Classic Lump Charcoal — it lights up faster and holds steady heat for your steaks, snags, chicken and more.
  • Want next-level searing? Our Searing Grade is your go-to. Designed with smaller, ultra-dense pieces for blazing high heat — perfect for steakhouse-style crusts and caramelisation.


Whether you’re going low and slow or hot and fast, we’ve got a charcoal grade that hits the sweet spot.
