Yorkshire Charcoal, Honestly Made
Our Mission
I'm Garry. I work in Yorkshire woodlands - coppicing, planting, managing and improving it - and I turn that wood into charcoal using a retort kiln; a cleaner, more efficient process that produces a consistently better product.
All the charcoal is made here in Yorkshire, not from overseas with untold damage to natural rainforests.
Just a Yorkshire bloke who knows his wood, knows his charcoal and gives a damn about doing it properly
Coppicing has been practised for centuries, it improves woodlands, increases natural resources and supports it's biodiversity. It's unfashionable because it's low-tech. That suits me fine
Whether you are firing up a barbecue, running a forge or tending an open cooking fire - you deserve to know exactly what you're burning and where it came from
One small batch at a time. Making things a little better
