Pure beech is used to produce charcoal that glows particularly hot and for a long time. The hand-picked charcoal can be lit within a short time using the electric chimney starter. It is ready for use on the barbecue after just 2-3 minutes and does not stink or smoke. This is due to the high carbon content (up to 95%), which is only achieved when the charcoal is smouldered in the traditional way.

How can you recognise good charcoal?

You should still be able to see that the charcoal was once a piece of wood (structure, shape). Unlike tropical wood, you can still see the annual rings.  It shines like gold at the fractures. Here you can see that the carbon content must be very high. Pieces of hardwood charcoal hardly dust and stain only slightly.

The charcoal from the Eisenhammer charcoal kiln, one of the last traditional charcoal kilns in Germany, is very different from industrially produced products. The charcoal, made from 100% pure beech, consists exclusively of sustainably felled beech wood from the Dübener Heide in eastern Germany. The charcoal has been specially sorted into very large pieces according to our needs.
Piece size 6-18cm. You only need about half the amount you are used to. So you'd better start with less, because a refill is quickly done and the embers are also quickly hot again. This way, you will experience relaxed barbecue evenings and if it gets a bit longer, you won't have any big effort with our charcoal.
