Description
Quebracho Blanco charcoal from Argentina – 5 kg
This charcoal from Missing Link is made from the Argentinian hardwood Quebracho Blanco, known for its extreme hardness and high density. The name quebracho comes from the Spanish words quebrar hacha, «axe breaker». You will soon see why.
The large, dense pieces burn 2–3 times longer than ordinary charcoal, with high heat and very little ash. This gives a stable temperature, clean combustion and the flavour that characterises wood-fired grilling.

Important information about charcoal
As with all natural products, variations can occur:
- Damaged packaging can happen during transport, but does not affect the quality of the charcoal.
- Stones in the charcoal can occur because production takes place outdoors on bare ground. This is harmless and normal.
- Sparks when lighting: hardwood can give small sparks when lit, especially from knots. This only happens while lighting and stops once the charcoal is glowing.
Lighting tips
- Always light the charcoal with firelighters, not lighter fluid.
- Let the charcoal light fully before you stir it.
- Close the lower air vent while grilling. Charcoal needs very little oxygen to glow.
- Avoid chimney starters or strong draughts if you want to reduce sparking.
Charcoal is a natural product, and small variations are a sign of real craftsmanship, not faults.
Frequently asked questions about Quebracho Blanco charcoal
Why does the charcoal spark when I light it?
Quebracho Blanco is a very hard wood, and knots in particular can give small sparks when lit. This stops once the charcoal is glowing. Avoid chimney starters and strong draughts if you want as few sparks as possible.
Why are there stones in the bag?
The charcoal is made outdoors on bare ground, so a few stones can end up in the bag. This is harmless and normal.
Can I use lighter fluid?
No, use firelighters. Lighter fluid can give the food an off-flavour.
How long does the charcoal burn?
The dense pieces burn 2–3 times longer than ordinary charcoal. Close the lower air vent while grilling, and the embers last longer.
