16 lb
Bag weight
100% premium hardwood lumpwood charcoal with no binders, fillers, or chemical additives. Naturally sourced and artisan kiln-fired for consistent quality. Burns clean, lights fast, and performs across the full temperature range from low-and-slow smoking through to high-heat searing.
We stock and use Masterbuilt Lumpwood Charcoal ourselves at the showroom. It is the fuel we recommend to customers running the Masterbuilt Gravity Series, and it performs just as well in any quality kamado or charcoal smoker. The clean burn and low ash output is genuinely noticeable compared to standard briquettes. You can pick it up from our Wetherill Park showroom at 5 Vicars Place alongside our full range of Masterbuilt, Yoder Smokers, and Big Green Egg equipment.
Key FeaturesClean fuel. Real flavour. Less ash.
100% Natural Hardwood
No binders, no fillers, no chemical additives. Just wood. What goes on the fire is what ends up in the flavour.
Lights Fast, Burns Hot
Lumpwood ignites significantly faster than briquettes and reaches cooking temperature quicker. Less waiting, more cooking.
Low Ash Output
Pure hardwood produces a fraction of the ash that briquettes do. Less cleaning, better airflow, more consistent temperatures throughout the cook.
Full Temperature Range
Runs at 107°C for a 16-hour brisket or pushes past 300°C for a sear. One bag handles every cook in your rotation.
Why serious cooks use lumpwood
Briquettes are compressed charcoal dust held together with binders and fillers. They burn consistently but they also burn dirty, produce more ash, and the binders can introduce off-flavours, particularly noticeable on longer cooks where the meat is exposed to the smoke for hours.
Lumpwood charcoal is pure hardwood carbonised in a kiln. There is nothing in it except wood. It lights faster, burns hotter, produces less ash, and the flavour it contributes is clean and natural. For a long smoke on a brisket or pork shoulder, that difference accumulates over many hours and shows up clearly in the final result.
Tip for kamado users: Lumpwood is the preferred fuel for kamado-style cookers including the Big Green Egg and Kamado Joe. The irregular piece sizes allow better airflow through the firebox, which helps the kamado's passive ventilation system regulate temperature more effectively than uniform briquettes.

Common Questions
Masterbuilt Lumpwood Charcoal FAQ
Questions we get asked most before buying. Not covered here? Call us or visit the showroom.
Is this the same as briquettes?
No. Lumpwood charcoal is pure hardwood with nothing added. Briquettes are compressed charcoal dust held together with binders and fillers. Lumpwood lights faster, burns hotter, produces less ash, and delivers cleaner flavour. For long cooks especially, the difference in ash output and flavour quality is significant.
Can I use this in my Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe?
Yes. Masterbuilt Lumpwood is natural lump charcoal with no additives, making it suitable for any charcoal cooker including kamado-style grills. Lumpwood is actually the preferred fuel for kamados as the irregular piece sizes allow better airflow through the firebox compared to uniform briquettes.
Does it work in the Masterbuilt Gravity Series GravityFed hopper?
Yes, it is specifically designed for the Masterbuilt Gravity Series GravityFed hopper system. Load it directly into the hopper and the GravityFed mechanism feeds charcoal into the firebox throughout the cook without needing to open the lid or manually add fuel.
Can I add wood chunks for extra smoke flavour?
Yes. Placing hardwood chunks within the charcoal pile is a common technique for building additional smoke flavour. The chunks ignite gradually as the fire progresses through the charcoal, releasing smoke throughout the cook rather than all at once. We stock a range of smoking woods in the showroom if you want to try different flavour profiles.
How do I store unused charcoal after opening the bag?
Keep it dry. Transfer unused charcoal to a sealed container or resealable bag, or fold and clip the original bag closed. Lumpwood that gets damp is difficult to light and burns inconsistently. Charcoal that has been exposed to moisture can still be used once fully dried out, but prevention is easier than recovery.
Does it produce much ash?
Much less than briquettes. Because it is pure hardwood with no binders or fillers, very little non-combustible material remains after burning. This is particularly important for kamado cookers where ash accumulation can restrict the airflow that the temperature control system relies on.
Can I pick this up from your showroom?
Yes. Masterbuilt Lumpwood Charcoal is stocked at our Wetherill Park showroom at 5 Vicars Place, alongside our full range of Masterbuilt, Yoder Smokers, Big Green Egg, and Broil King equipment. Open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm.
How quickly will my order arrive?
Orders placed before 12pm AEST Monday to Friday are dispatched same day from our Wetherill Park warehouse. Most Sydney metro deliveries arrive next business day. Regional NSW and interstate typically 2 to 5 business days. Alternatively pick up from the showroom, usually ready in 2 hours.
