Natural Lump Charcoal

For cooking purposes, charcoal comes in two different shapes: lump

charcoal and briquettes. Lump charcoal is charcoal which has not been

formed into briquettes. Briquettes are the pillow shaped little pieces of

compressed ground charcoal.

Always use lump charcoal in the Primo®. Primo® Grills and Smokers

use a fire bowl to hold the charcoal. As the charcoal burns, the ash falls

down into the bottom of the bowl. There isn't much room for a lot of ash.

Lump charcoal produces low amounts of ash and will burn at whatever

rate and temperature that you allow it to. It also tends to burn hotter

and light faster than briquettes.

The Process

Natural Lump Charcoal comes from partially burning wood or heating

wood without the use of oxygen. In doing so, this charred wood

becomes carbon. During the process of making charcoal, volatile

compounds in the wood (water, hydrogen, methane and tars) pass off

as vapors into the air, and the carbon is converted into charcoal.

The Properties

Since Charcoal is pure wood carbon, it weights much less than its

original state. It is also free of tars (which can contain carcinogenic

compounds, like benzo-a-pyrene). Unlike charcoal briquettes, which

contain different chemicals, natural charcoal is 100% carbon.

Types of Lump Charcoal

There are 2 types of charcoal: the first type comes from natural wood

which has been cut and made into charcoal. This is as natural as you

can get. The wood comes from trees, branches and scrap pieces from

saw mills. The second type comes from using processed scrap wood

and tuning it into charcoal. Processed scrap wood tends to burn faster

since its density is less than natural. This is because there is less

moisture in the wood at the time it is transformed into charcoal.

Lighting Lump Charcoal

Never use starter fluid! It will give an undesirable flavor to your food

and absorb into the ceramic. There are many other ways to light lump

charcoal. You can use paraffin fireplace starter blocks (Primo®

recommended), electric starters, propane sticks, weed burners,

propane torches, MAP gas torches and Chimney starters.
