Description

FOGO Charcoal Super Premium Lump Charcoal is the epitome of high-quality, sustainable grilling fuel. Sourced from the Inga trees of El Salvador, this hardwood charcoal is crafted with care and precision. Inga trees are used as shade trees for coffee plants and are regularly pruned or occasionally removed to maintain the proper amount of shade. The wood from these pruned limbs and removed trees is used to create FOGO Lump Charcoal, ensuring a sustainable source that contributes positively to the environment.

FOGO's commitment to sustainability is evident in their efforts to plant 40,000 new Inga trees in the past year alone, with a goal of planting one million. This dedication contrasts sharply with the deforestation issues plaguing other parts of Central and South America, where unsustainable practices are common. By choosing FOGO Charcoal, you are supporting responsible sourcing and sustainable forestry practices.

FOGO Charcoal is produced in small-batch, artisanal brick ovens, a method that has been used for thousands of years. This traditional process, combined with the special blend of Inga wood, gives FOGO Charcoal its unique, award-winning flavor. Unlike other lump charcoal that can be over-cooked during production, FOGO maintains the aromatic essence of the wood, ensuring that your food will have a rich, wood-fire flavor that is second to none.

The Super Premium Gold Bag of FOGO Charcoal features the original all-XL lump charcoal, designed specifically for low and slow cooking. Every piece of lump charcoal in the bag is hand-picked and measures over 4 inches long. This larger size ensures increased airflow and longer burn times, making it the best lump charcoal for smoking and perfect for lengthy cooking sessions where you want your meat to absorb deep, smoky flavors without needing constant refueling.

Whether you're using a Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Primo, or any kamado-style ceramic grill, FOGO Charcoal is the ideal choice. Its consistent performance and superior quality make it a favorite among BBQ enthusiasts and professional pitmasters alike. The low ash production also means less mess and easier cleanup, allowing you to focus on enjoying your grilled masterpieces.

FOGO Charcoal Super Premium Lump Charcoal is the ultimate grilling fuel for those seeking the best lump charcoal for smoking and grilling. Its sustainable sourcing, artisanal production, and exceptional flavor make it a must-have for any serious griller.
