Lump Charcoal, Wood Smoking Chips, Planks

Natural Lump Charcoal The EGG® will cook most efficiently using natural lump charcoal. Big Green Egg lump charcoal is made from a selection of 100% hardwoods. It burns hotter and cleaner and lights faster and easier than briquettes. The amount of ash produced is a fraction of what briquettes produce, which means less frequent ash removal is required. Use either our electric lighter or our natural fire starters and you’ll be ready to cook in about 10 minutes; never use lighter fluid.
Wood Smoking Chips Wood smoking chips will add a variety of delicious flavors to foods cooked over the coals. Each type of wood will impart a different flavor to every meat or other food with which it is used, resulting in an endless variety of new flavor combinations. We have smoking chips available in 1-1/2 to 2-pound bags. Hickory and Mesquite chunks are available in 6-pound bags.

Grilling Planks Plank cooking is an ancient culinary method which originated with the American Indians. The longstanding tradition of cooking on a plank has evolved into a popular at-home grilling technique that adds a whole new dimension to your grilling experience. Foods roast in their own juices, keeping meats, seafood and vegetables moist and infusing them with magnificent flavors as they absorb the fragrant wood smoke. The planks must be soaked in water for at least an hour before placing them on the cooking grid. This ensures they will smolder, which produces the best smoke flavor, and it keeps them from burning up quickly during cooking.
