Fuel

Buy BBQ fuel: charcoal, briquettes and more

At De BBQ Store, you will find all the fuel you need for grilling, smoking or baking. From fast and powerful charcoal to slow and evenly burning briquettes, and from premium Japanese binchotan to coconut briquettes, smoking wood chunks, wood chips, BBQ pellets and firelighters for extra flavor and convenience: every fuel has its own strength.

Which fuel suits your session?

Charcoal is ideal for a shorter grill evening with fast, high heat, while briquettes excel at longer, lower temperatures, such as for pulled pork or brisket. Binchotan burns exceptionally long and clean, and is a favorite for yakiniku-style high-heat grilling. Smoking wood and wood pellets are added to your main fuel for a subtle or intense smoky flavor.

Charcoal

Reaches temperature quickly, ideal for short, intensive grilling sessions with high heat.

Briquettes

Burn longer and more evenly, perfect for low & slow cooking and longer sessions.

Binchotan

Premium Japanese charcoal that burns extremely long and clean, a favorite for yakiniku.

Smoking wood and wood pellets

Add a subtle to intense smoky flavor to meat, fish and vegetables while grilling or smoking.

Quick and safe lighting

You have also come to the right place for firelighters and firelighter spirals, allowing you to start quickly and safely without chemical lighter fluid. Our fuel is always in stock, so you will never run out right before the BBQ season.

Coconut briquettes: a natural alternative

In addition to charcoal and regular briquettes, we also stock coconut briquettes, made from pressed coconut shells. They burn even longer and more evenly than traditional briquettes, produce almost no sparks and leave remarkably little ash, which makes emptying and cleaning your BBQ afterwards a lot easier. For those looking for natural charcoal with a long burn time and a small ecological footprint, coconut briquettes are an excellent alternative.

Frequently asked questions about BBQ fuel

What is the difference between charcoal and briquettes?

Charcoal burns faster and hotter, while briquettes burn longer and more evenly. For short and quick grilling, choose charcoal; for longer sessions, choose briquettes.

How much fuel do I need for a BBQ session?

That depends on the type of BBQ, the duration of the session and the outside temperature. Our team is happy to advise you on the right amount for your situation.

What are coconut briquettes and are they a good alternative to charcoal?

Coconut briquettes are made from pressed coconut shells and burn longer, more evenly and with less ash than regular charcoal or briquettes. They are therefore a sustainable and practical alternative, especially for longer cooking sessions.
