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.

Absolutely. Our Classic (35–70mm) and Signature (50–100mm) grades are specifically chosen by chefs for their high heat output, consistent burn, and minimal ash—making them ideal for enclosed charcoal ovens like Josper and Mibrasa.

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.

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.
