Lump in England

amini1 · January 2008

I'll be moving to London this summer. I'm bringing my large BGE and probably buying a medium or another large to take with me. Does anyone have an idea of the availability of good lump charcoal over there? I see there is a BGE dealer but they are quite a ways from the City.

Thanks

I have seen lump charcoal (in the summer of 2005) in the Tesco in Camberly. Needless to say I have no idea if it is any good. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a very seasonal thing over there. You can ask, but I'd imagine that if you do find any, you'd better stock up. Good luck!

Thanks TNW. I figured the same. If I can find a good source I'll buy a lot.

I welcome more suggestions.

Thanks.

My time in the UK I found that lump was readily available during the warm months... however, it was interesting to find that briquettes, as far as I could tell, never existed in England.

Good luck with your move!

Thanks Little Steven. Ian responded quickly. In case anyone cares for future reference, he says the lump quality is poor over there. He uses coconut lump. His recommendation was "restaurant grade lumpwood" and said to contact him when I get over there and he'll arrange a bulk purchase. Sounds good to me.
