When choosing between charcoal or briquettes for grilling, it comes down to what types of food you will be cooking. Briquettes are designed for slow cooking, whereas charcoal lumps burn fast and hot. We carry a selection of charcoal bags and briquettes from brands such as Master Chef, Napoleon, Maple Leaf Charcoal, Nature’s Grilling Gourmet and more, so you are sure to find the best type for all your outdoor grilling needs.
