Charcoal for Restaurants & Steakhouses

Restaurants that cook over charcoal need a fuel that can support repeated service, high-temperature grilling and the flavor profile associated with real hardwood fire. AQ Premium Hardwood Lump Charcoal is made predominantly from White Quebracho together with Mistol and Guayacan hardwoods.

Built for live-fire cooking

AQ Charcoal is restaurant-quality, all natural and made without chemical additives. Dense South American hardwood lump charcoal is especially appropriate for steakhouses, parrillas, barbecue restaurants and other kitchens where charcoal is a core part of the cooking method.

Why restaurants choose lump charcoal

Lump charcoal responds quickly to airflow and is capable of strong searing temperatures. Unlike manufactured briquettes, lump charcoal consists of carbonized pieces of natural hardwood. For chefs working directly with a live fire, that makes the fuel itself an important part of fire management.

Commercial formats

AQ Charcoal is available in 20 lb and 35 lb bags, including pallet quantities for commercial buyers. The 35 lb format is particularly convenient for restaurants and other high-volume users.
