Three Reasons To Buy Natural Lump Charcoal
A friend forwarded an article about whether or not one should spend $15 on natural lump charcoal?
The answer was YES. There were three reasons:
1. It is cleaner. Natural lump charcoal costs more than charcoal briquettes, but you are paying for better quality smoke. Standard briquettes contain binding agents like sodium nitrate, which get released into the air. Lump charcoal has no additives. It is made with natural hardwood from tree limbs and lumber and sawmill scraps.
2. It burns better. Natural lump charcoal is as close to cooking over firewood as you are going to get without a wood burning grill. It burns hotter than briquettes, so your grill needs less time to heat up. Added bonus? Cleanup is easier since charcoal produces less ash than briquettes.
3. It amps up flavor. The biggest reason lump charcoal is the go to for grill lovers is that it lends a delicious smokiness without the chemical taste that can sneak into food cooked over briquettes.
