Quebracho charcoal is a premium hardwood lump charcoal made from exceptionally dense South American hardwood. AQ Charcoal is made from a blend that is predominantly White Quebracho, together with Mistol and Guayacan hardwoods.
Why is White Quebracho used for charcoal?
White Quebracho is valued for its density and durability. The name is associated with the Spanish expression for “axe breaker,” reflecting the hardness of the wood.
