Premium Hardwood Charcoal

Kamado Joe’s Big Block XL charcoal surpasses competitors by sourcing from authentic guayaibi, aistal and white quebracho hardwoods, providing a clean burn and imparting robust wood-fired flavor to culinary creations.

Harness the heat of our Big Block XL charcoal and easily burn at high steak-searing temperatures, or drop down to low-and-slow smoking temperatures for a steady temperature control. 

Kamado Joe 100% Natural Lump Charcoal costs less per use because the hardwood charcoal burns hotter, the larger pieces burn longer, and you can reuse the charcoal up to three times.

Additionally, Kamado Joe’s 100% natural lump charcoal burns hotter, ensuring each use is efficient, and its larger pieces contribute to an extended lifespan. Re-use the charcoal up to three times for efficient and cost-effective charcoal grilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you reuse Kamado Joe charcoal?

Reusing leftover lump charcoal is a great option. After using charcoal in your kamado grill, wait until it is completely cooled off, before stirring up the used charcoal with your ash tool, so that the ashes fall through the bottom fire grate. You will have far less ash with lump charcoal than with briquettes! Always make sure that the air holes in the fire grate are not blocked with small pieces of charcoal residue.

Top off the old charcoal with some new charcoal as needed. Make sure to empty the ask tray before your next cook.

What is the benefit of lump charcoal over briquettes?

Lump charcoal is made by slowly burning real pieces of wood in an airtight area until all the natural chemicals, sap, and moisture leave the wood. All that’s left is pure charcoal. Lump charcoal responds really well to oxygen, so you can easily control the heat using your air vents and chimney. Briquettes take longer to respond to airflow which leaves you with less control on a long cook and produce more ash that will restrict airflow. Lump is also the most natural fuel for your grill.

Additional benefits of our grilling charcoal are:

- All-natural fuel
- Burns hotter
- Lights quickly
- Easier to adjust the temperature
- Better smoke for better flavor
- Re-usable

How do you light Kamado Joe charcoal?

Use a natural fire starter like Kamado Joe fire starters. Never use lighter fluid!

  • Once I decided on buying this particular model, I did exhaustive research on several different vendors and settled on the Grill Collection, because of their amazing customer service, response time, and unbelievable price match. Jerome was absolutely amazing to work with, and I very much look forward to ordering the rest of my appliances and equipment for my outdoor kitchen space in the coming days. The customer service from Grill Collection is unmatched by any of the other companies I have spoken with. Someone is always right there to step in and answer a question for you. After sending an email inquiry, I received a response in less than two hours. The delivery process was flawless. Once I was notified the grill had shipped, I was immediately given my tracking number, and within days I was contacted by the carrier to set up delivery. The delivery process was incredibly smooth, they placed the grill exactly where I requested it, they inspected it with me, and I couldn't be happier. From shipping to arrival, it was less than a week before it arrived to ship cross country. If you are in need of anything for your backyard space, Grill Collection is the place to buy it!!!

  • The primary reason I chose Grill Collection is because they had the item I wanted in stock where other sites selling the same item wasn't available till the end of the year. I had already purchased the unit from another website and I really didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a refund and then waiting for the refund and then turning around and purchasing another unit somewhere else. I purchased the unit from the other website previously because their website said I would receive the unit by the end of July. When the transaction was completed and they finally received the notice from the manufacturer the shipping and receiving dates changed. It was now shipping by Nov 27th and receiving by Dec 2nd, basically I would be waiting half a year to receive my order so that wasn't going to work. By then summer is over!!! Second and most important reason I chose Grill Collection is because of Erica's awesome customer service, many many thanks to Erica for her service. She finalized my decision based on many factors besides the fact that I'm an Amazon Prime Member and paying through Amazon would work for me as well but also these reasons: 1. Prompted to serve customers need. 2. If I had problems with my order I know it wouldn't take hours to get s hold of customer service 3. Talking to a live representative vs machine 100% 4. Piece of mind knowing that I'm doing business with a company that's 100% behind my customer satisfaction with guaranteed product availability and delivery, makes me want to purchase only from them. 5. Lower price definitely!!! 6. 👍😇😉😆 Thank you Can't wait to get my grill!!

  • I had a fantastic experience with the Grill Collection. First when I was shopping online for the Napoleon Prestige 500 grill you had the lowest price online. I was shopping late on a Saturday night and was not expecting anyone to be available to chat to answer some questions but someone was available (I forget his name) and he answered my questions so I placed the order that day. Lastly I know most of these were taking 4 weeks to ship but you were able to ship mine in under 3 weeks, sooner than expected. Post order support was great as well. You should be very proud of the service you provide, few companies have people online available to chat at on the weekends and shipping sooner than expected is rare!
