Mesquite lump charcoal from Mexico
Hardwood lump charcoal made from mesquite and oak in Northeast Mexico, very close to Texas. For distributors, retailers, restaurants, meat markets and private label brands.
Mesquite and oak, two of the best woods for charcoal
Our lump charcoal is made from two native hardwoods of Northeast Mexico: mesquite and oak. It is a natural blend: every bag contains both woods, not 100% mesquite.
Mesquite and oak are high density hardwoods, so they burn hotter and longer than softwood charcoal. Mesquite brings the smoky flavor many grillers look for, and oak adds a steady burn.
- 100% natural hardwood: mesquite and oak, no additives, no chemicals
- Double screened: a good mix of piece sizes and a minimum of dust
- Moderate smoke: the right amount of smoky flavor for meats
