100% natural charcoal briquettes made from compressed wood waste with no binders or chemicals. Delivering over 3 hours of consistent cooking time, they're ideal for low-and-slow BBQ, smoking and professional grilling.
For BBQ enthusiasts who value consistency, burn time and clean flavour, Big K Au Natural Briquettes are one of the best-performing briquette fuels available. Made from 100% natural compressed wood waste with no binders, additives or chemicals, they deliver long-lasting, even heat that is ideal for low-and-slow cooking, long BBQ sessions and professional grilling.
Unlike traditional briquettes, Au Natural briquettes are formed under high pressure without the need for starch binders. The result is a cleaner-burning fuel that allows the natural flavour of your food to shine through.
Why We Recommend It

Firemasters Verdict
These are the briquettes we recommend when burn time and consistency matter most. They take a little longer to get going than traditional lumpwood charcoal, but once established they provide a stable, long-lasting cooking bed that can power an entire cook with minimal intervention.
For the best results, many chefs and pitmasters use a small amount of lumpwood charcoal to get things started before adding Au Natural briquettes for long-lasting heat.
