Lump charcoal is the age-old way to cook outdoors, and Hot Shots’ high-density wood charcoal is built for direct cooking over the coals. Light it over a good firelighter, and once the coals turn ash-grey, you’re ready to cook — season your meat or fish and place it straight over the heat, adjusting distance as needed.
Charcoal gives you a very high initial temperature, but it loses heat faster than Hot Shots BBQ briquettes. For a quick, hot direct cook it’s hard to beat — for slow roasting and longer cooks, reach for the briquettes instead.
One thing worth knowing: unlike the rest of the Hot Shots range, our lump charcoal is imported rather than Australian made.
