Gidgee Charcoal 19kg

19kg Australian Gidgee Lump Charcoal (20-70mm)

100% natural lump charcoal from Queensland Gidgee (Acacia Cambagei), one of the densest hardwoods in Australia. No chemicals, no binders, just pure carbonized hardwood.

Gidgee burns extremely hot and holds temperature for hours — longer than mangrove or most imported charcoals. It gives steady heat with manageable ash and a subtle authentic bush smoke flavour.

Best for:

• High-heat searing (steaks, burgers, prawns)
• Low and slow smoking in offsets, kamados or Weber kettles
• Pizza ovens, spit roasts and all-day cooks
• Firepits and chimineas in your coastal garden

Piece size

Standard mix approx. 20-70mm — ideal for most home BBQs, egg-style charcoal BBQs and open grills. Easier to arrange than chunky but still long-burning.

Gidgee vs Mangrove (quick guide so you choose right):

• Gidgee: Hottest, longest burn, more heat retention. Best for serious sessions where you don’t want to keep adding fuel.
• Mangrove: Easier temperature control, lower ash, cleaner burn. Better for beginners or quick grills/seafood.
