Evening all.

Yes, yet another charcoal debate, but I have not managed to find this one covered on here yet.

I see lots of votes for ACH15, Blue Bag, LWP, etc, but has anyone used the Big K 15KG Boxed 'Best Grade Restaurant'?

I ask as Ocado are selling it for £20 a box at the moment, and that seems a fair price.

I'm trying to get me hands on some of this stuff to try too, and I'll let you know how I get on. http://www.dorsetcharcoal.co.uk/restaur ... rcoal.html

Hi Adam,

I use Big K restaurant charcoal in a 15kg bag and have been very happy with it.

Nice large pieces and burns hot and clean.

Not seen the boxed stuff though.

I have also been using the Big K large restaurant quality bags, I've probably ordered 3 bags previously and been pleased with the size of the charcoal etc. however the bag I am using at the moment is really disappointing, loads and I mean loads of the charcoal is so small it's just falling through the grate.....not a happy bunny....

I have had one like that too. I blame the handling of it so I'd be tempted to take it back to where you bought it.

You're paying more for the grading so if it gets broken up it transit you're getting a bad deal.
