Best charcoal for a BBQ: We fired up the grill and tested 8 of the best lumpwood and briquette charcoals

SUNNY season is fully underway and with it comes the great British barbecue tradition.

But whether you’re grilling up burgers and sausages or getting cheffy on the ‘cue, the best charcoal for a BBQ can add a new dimension to your cooking.

It helps to think of charcoal not just as a heat source but as an ingredient. Whereas gas barbecues impart a neutral flavour to the food they cook, charcoal gives your grills that deliciously smoky taste and aroma. 

And because it’s effectively seasoning your food, using the best charcoal makes for a better-tasting result. 

What’s more, good-quality charcoal usually burns more efficiently, leaves minimal ash behind for clean up and lights easily, so you don’t have to resort to chemical firelighters that could taint your meal.
