New British Charcoal now available, help keep our native coppice woodlands vibrant!
Upgrade your charcoal supply this season and get your BBQ hotter and quicker whatever the weather! Did you know only 4% of the charcoal used in the UK today is actually produced in the UK? Or that British Charcoal burns hotter than imported charcoal? Tregothnan is the leading producer of British charcoal in the UK today and is returning more areas of coppice to traditional charcoal coppicing.
Discover the incredible ancient art of the wood collier with Jaimie Sutton. Hear the crackling lighting of retorts and the soothing sensation of fresh charcoal cooling at the end of the cycle. Charcoal isn’t just for pyromaniacs; the controlled burn is key to good charcoal, as well as the choice of species of wood. Many wood Colliers secrets will be shared to open up this long overlooked fuel and sustainable energy.
Tour the process from coppicing to cooking. The event is called ‘Burn’ and is set to ignite interest in your charcoal for BBQ’s this summer. The growing trend for chefs to cook all year round will be brought to life with mouth watering samples.
