The Black Wattle charcoal from Vuur & Rook ensures a very long and consistent surf and a horrible heat in your (ceramic) BBQ! This charcoal comes from South Africa and is made from the waste wood from the fast-growing and common exotic Acacia tree. Ideal for low & slow preparations in your ceramic barbecue. This charcoal is sold per 10 kg bag.
Charcoal is offered in various types. A good charcoal contains a rough selection of obsolete pieces. As a result, the charcoal burns constantly and sufficient oxygen can get between the pieces, so that all pieces can ignite.
A good charcoal is not mixed, but consists of one type of wood. This is also important to keep the temperature constant. If you have a kamado such as a Big Green Egg or a Bastard, then charcoal is the perfect fuel. Charcoal is able to burn with very little oxygen and at the same time is able to become horribly hot.
Briquettes require a minimal amount of oxygen and often go out prematurely when used in a kamado.
Dammers Charcoal is made from Black Wattle wood. Very suitable for use in the ceramic barbecue. This species gives off little smoke and a neutral taste.
Jan Dammers The Story!
Since 1970 we have been active in the field of grill and barbecue products. At first it was about pieces of charcoal soaked in spirit, to make the coal stove. But in the 70s when the number of grill restaurants started to expand, we switched to charcoal especially suitable for the hospitality industry. In the beginning this mainly came from Germany but after a few years it became clear that the real top charcoal was produced in South Africa, among others. After a long search and experimentation, we came across the largest charcoal producer in South Africa.
Only they were able to deliver the right quality charcoal, as our customers wanted. We have now been importing South African Acacia charcoal for many years. The Marabu charcoal has also been added in recent years.
This is due to the great popularity of closed ceramic bbqs, and charcoal ovens in the hospitality industry. The heavier Marabu charcoal is particularly suitable for this type of bbq activity.
It contains beautiful coarse pieces of charcoal (40-120mm), without too much grit and dust
When we talk about South African charcoal we are actually talking about wood from the Australian Acacia (Black Wattle). This is a fast-growing, exotic tree that is common in South Africa. Our charcoal is only burned from waste wood. No trees are felled for it.
