Description
THE Brand NEW – BIG Ed’s is HERE! A brand new Charcoal made exclusively for us, The BBQ Experts with our pals at Firemasters. Suitable for Restaurants, Caterers and BBQ enthusiasts.
This listing is for a 12kg bag of this amazing charcoal at a knock down price, as it’s coming direct from us the importers. Having tested this ourselves, and also some of our fine dining restaurant customers have tested it too, we all agree, its the best we’ve used.
It’s SUPER BIG Chunks of the ‘Exclusive Grade’ Namibian Kameeldorring Hardwood Lump Charcoal – 12kg – Brand New for 2023! Hand sorted at the processing plant, to ensure the biggest chunks. And its 100% Natural!
THE BBQ Experts brings you this incredible charcoal. It’s 20% more dense than Oak, a beautiful light smokey flavour, used by our restaurant customers with Michelin Stars. They all love this beautiful product.
Get the true authentic barbecue / braai taste. These are BIG Lumps of the VERY BEST. No harmful elements are released during storage or usage. Raw material is procured exclusively from environmentally responsible suppliers. The wood is perfect for BBQ/Braai. We already sell the wood as a fire cooking product, and we’ve gone to the extra stage of creating an incredible charcoal as well.
It has high heat, and a solid long burning time, but the large chunks give you the control as you can break these chunks down, either before, or mid burn, and increase the heat if you need to. Larger chunks burn slower due to the lower surface area, which is ideal if you want to utilise a longer cook.
This charcoal is right up there with the best, in fact we think it’s far better than the best, especially at the price we can deliver this for. Top Quality, Gourmet Restaurant Grade at the most competitive price as we’ve just gone right ahead and cut out the middle man.
Our initial batch is in canvas sacks with our printed logo. We’re working on a new boxed variety (for maximum protection and ease of shipping) and also a paper bag solution for our restaurants and retailers. Our man on the ground Mikey from Firemasters is working tirelessly, bbq’ing meat, testing meat, eating meat and talking about packaging at the same time. It’s all about the meat and flavour really for us 🙂

Saturday delivery – Saturday / Sunday (weekend) delivery is not currently guaranteed or widely available through our usual network of couriers.

Working days
This term is widely used in delivery information as it refers to Monday through to Friday as being ‘working days’, and weekends are not classed as such. We use around half a dozen different couriers at any one time to give the best, cheapest and quickest delivery to your area across a wide variety of packages, which includes Small and Large Letters, Small and Medium Parcels and also Large Parcels. To have the flexibility to meet these demands we use the following services:
- Royal Mail 24hr and 48hr
- Despatch Bay 24hr and 48hr
- Parcel2Go, which includes myHermes 2 to 3 Day and also 1 to 2 Day
- TNT Next Day
- UPS Next Day Drop Off
- Tuffnells for Next Day Parcels on certain hazardous goods.
All of these firms use slightly different terms, but as a general rule collections are made on ‘Working Days’ i.e. Monday to Friday, and deliveries are always done on Monday to Friday, and with Despatch Bay and Royal Mail delivering on Saturdays i.e. 6 days a week for just the delivery side of the Network.
As an example an order placed on a Wednesday at 8am in the morning will be despatched that same day, using the couriers ‘Next Working Day’ service and will therefore arrive on the Thursday the day after. However, an order placed on the Wednesday at 2pm, will be shipped on the Thursday using the couriers ‘Next Working Day’ service and arrive on the Friday. The reason for this is that the couriers have collection times of between 1pm and 5pm, so we cannot guarantee that after 12 noon we can pick, pack and ship your item that very same day due to the couriers various collection times.
If you are in significant need of a ‘Next Day’ delivery we do suggest that you call or email us before placing your order so we can advise you and can avoid any unnecessary disappointment.
We have increasingly found that over recent years many customers can place an order at 8pm at night and expect to be able to receive it the following morning, which we’re unable to do because of the nature of how couriers work, and also because our business is open from 9am to 5pm each day and we do not operate a night shift for packing orders.
Disclaimer: We always endeavour to do our absolute best to pick, pack and ship out your order as quickly as possible. However we do ask customers to understand that we purchase the Delivery Service on your behalf from all of the above mentioned couriers, and as such we entrust them to carry out the final leg of the journey to you. We know that statistically around 98% of orders with courier deliveries are done on time and in accordance with the service that we buy from them. However, that does mean that around 2% do not, this is often for a variety of reasons, but not least because the courier firms are enormous operations that handle tens or hundreds of thousands of packages each and every day, if not millions, and so inevitably parcels may go missing or take longer to deliver than anticipated.
We kindly ask that customers take this into consideration, and do not complain harshly or abuse our staff in the unlikely, but perfectly possible event that your parcel does not arrive in time. We always want happy customers, and we work extremely hard behind the scenes to pull your order together and get it out to you very quickly.
