what is lump charcoal

Lump charcoal is a type of charcoal that is made by slowly burning pieces of wood in the absence of oxygen until all the natural chemicals, sap, and moisture leave the wood. This process results in a product that is little more than carbon and leaves very little ash after burning out. Lump charcoal burns hotter and faster than briquettes, and it also responds well to oxygen, making it easier to control the fires temperature if your grill has adjustable air vents. Lump charcoal is 100% natural and pure, with no additives. It is a great choice for cooking steak caveman style directly over the coals. Lump charcoal is recommended for hot and fast cooking, such as grilling wings with a closed lid, direct grilling, and rotisserie cooking.
