Sustainable British charcoal from local woods
Who we are
Most of the Charcoal used in the UK is imported.
This is damaging
to critical endangered forests and environments, as well as the impact of transporting cargo thousands of miles and exploiting of local people.
The UK has under utilised
woods and woodlands and, coupled with coppicing practices can dramatically improve flora and fauna of native species.
Thus, the idea of Local Charcoal was born
with the aim to produce quality charcoal using local woods and using it in new and effective way's
We are a small family business which sources local wood to make quality charcoal.
Where we are
Based in South Yorkshire, our kilns are within local woodland and are used as part of woodland management plans
What we do
We are restoring neglected woodland where we cut and store our logs on site..
We use a retort kiln for a clean and efficient burn and are passionate about charcoal uses other than just for BBQ's.
