El Fogonero was founded over fifteen years ago, on one simple but sure principle - The best barbecue requires balance. A perfect barbecue displays the full flavor of the meat, spices, and smoke without any taste overpowering another. Accomplishing this balance requires top-quality local meats, superior spices and sauces, and the simplest and best cooking fuel: charcoal.
With this founding principle, El Fogonero released two types of charcoal - briquets and lumps.
We prioritize the purity of our charcoal and run regular quality-control tests and ingredient checks to ensure our charcoal is of the highest possible purity. Our products are made from an all-natural single ingredient - Mesquite Wood. This hardy wood is procured locally, in north region of Mexico, to guarantee the wood has been in optimal conditions for consistent performance and better burning. Unlike our competitors, we do not add any fillers and guarantee our products are 100% natural and chemical-free.
Regardless of if you use a traditional charcoal grill, a ceramic, non-ceramic, or a custom smoker, we are sure that once you use El Fogonero Charcoal, you’ll never need to use anything else.
HOMECharcoal has more potential energy than raw wood because of its high carbon content. This means that it can burn hotter, longer, more consistently, and cleaner than wood.
Below, we compare and contrast the pros and cons of each to help you decide which to use when.
