FOGO is ‘Fire’ in portuguese. We chose to name our charcoal FOGO as it represents the origins of cooking. We believe charcoal/wood fire is not only a method used to cook, but the first ingredient, as the flavor it gives food is irreplaceable.

FOGO Charcoal is mainly produced in Central America. Both our Super Premium and Premium lines are produced in this region.

Our best seller lines, the Super Premium and Premium charcoals are made from tree trimmings that are carried by coffee plantations every year as maintenance. This wood is air dried in our manufacturing plant to ensure great end results and are then converted into charcoal in our Artisanal brick ovens. We have ‘maestros carboneros’ (master charcoal makers) who know the exact moment wood is turned into the FOGO charcoal you love.

The Premium charcoal is classified and bagged for consistency and our Super Premium line is hand picked and bagged before passing through our Quality Assurance team to ensure we deliver the quality you deserve.

100% Natural Lump Charcoal. We do not use chemicals or any other additive to produce our high quality charcoal. Everything is hand picked and classified to ensure the highest standards to ensure you get the perfect BBQ every day.

100% Passion: We know BBQing is not only cooking, it’s the warm feeling of sharing with others, be that with family or friends. So we strive to offer you the best experience, be that helping you choose the best charcoal for your cooks, or passionately discussing the best method to cook your next brisket.

100% Satisfaction Guaranteed: We have an 100% satisfaction guaranteed, if you are not happy with any of the FOGO charcoal bags contact us and we will solve that issue for you!

Not all charcoal is created equal. At FOGO we believe that charcoal making is like making a good artisan beer. Each type of wood has its own characteristics which are passed down to the final product.

• Super Premium Lump Charcoal: Made from a blend of hardwoods this is the most balanced charcoal with a fast lighting time, a long lasting burn and a very mild smoky flavor. It is hand picked to ensure you get a bag with 80% of pieces being 4 inch or bigger. This is the best charcoal for long smokes.
• Premium Lump Charcoal: Made with the same blend of hardwoods from the Super Premium Lump. The main difference is the size of the pieces. This bag has more consistent medium size pieces (2-4 inch) which makes it the perfect charcoal for everyday grilling.
• Argentinean Quebracho 35lbs: The Argentinian Quebracho is made of one of the densest woods in the world, making it a very heavy charcoal that lasts a long time. However, being as dense as it is, the lighting of this charcoal takes time and patience.
• Eucalyptus 17.6lbs: Made out of the Eucalyptus tree, it is a dense wood with a stronger smoky flavor.

Technically, all of our charcoal works with any grill. However, for best results we need to not only focus on the grill, but also on the cooking method. See the attached picture to help guide you choose the best FOGO product for your cooks.

Each type of wood has its own characteristics which are passed down to the final product. And you can tell this by their performance in the cook and the flavor they pass down to the food. For our FOGO products we have single origin charcoal and blended, these are:

• FOGO Super Premium and Premium: Blend of Hardwoods to create a great balance in performance and flavor
• FOGO Quebracho: White Quebracho Tree - it’s all about the stamina, this is the longest lasting charcoal
• FOGO Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus tree - Dense charcoal with a strong kick.
