About Meat Head Charcoal

Expertly crafted to last longer so that you can keep the grill [and the party] going late into the evening. MEAT HEAD CHARCOAL was founded with one mission: to provide a quality, clean, and long-lasting charcoal for grilling and smoking. Like most great business stories, this one started with two friends having a dream. Our journey began because of our passion for charcoal and our belief that we could provide the best lump charcoal on the market. But truthfully the story goes back further than that. Our families heritage was that built on the foundation of friendship and lifetime bonds forged through great meals, entertaining, and hospitality. Paired with a love for grilling, led to our quest to change the grilling experience...from the everyday backyard griller to the self-proclaimed pit-masters. Hence our journey to create the perfect lump charcoal began. We tried everything from making specialized charcoal in a 55-gallon drum to having a custom-kiln built in our backyard. And while we may have hit some roadblocks in the beginning and introduced ourselves to several curious fire departments, we knew we had the passion to provide the best lump charcoal on the market. After years of research, and plenty of trial and error, the Quebracho wood from South America delivered the exact burn we were looking for. Sourced in South America, Quebracho, or “Axe-Breaker” wood sought to deliver high-density lump charcoal, while offering a clean, hot, long-lasting burn. Read their story
