Royal Oak Hardwood Lump Charcoal is made from the finest American Oak and Hickory Hardwood. Our natural lump charcoal is perfect for high temp searing and long smoking at consistent temperatures and works great in most traditional smokers and ceramic or non-ceramic grills. 100% natural and sustainably sourced, Royal Oak Hardwood Lump Charcoal burns hotter, longer and cleaner for the best smoking and grilling experience. Made without fillers or chemicals, you can have confidence that when you grill using Royal Oak, you're getting the natural flavor of Oak and Hickory.
