Lump charcoal for restaurant kitchens

Charcoal that lasts through Friday night.

BigBoy is big, dense hardwood lump that holds its heat through a full service. Your cooks reload less, you clean out less ash, and you're not caught short mid-rush. Add it to your regular GFS or Sysco delivery, or buy in bulk straight from us.

Big lumps. Long burns. Less mess.

100% hardwood with nothing added. It lights quickly for prep, burns steady through dinner, and leaves less ash for the closing crew.

BigBoy Jumbo Lump

Fist-sized pieces of dense Argentinian hardwood. Big pieces burn longer than the small, broken bits in most bags, so one load goes further and the heat stays even from first order to last call.

  • Your cooks reload less. Big, dense pieces burn longer, so they can stay on the food instead of the fire.
  • You pay for charcoal, not dust. Hand-picked lumps mean less crumbs and powder left at the bottom of the bag.
  • You don't run out on a Saturday. We keep it stocked in BC and Alberta, so your order shows up when you need it.

Best for: tandoors, Korean & Japanese tabletop grills, kamados, churrasco, all-day grill stations.

From the bag to the grill.

Big, dense lumps build a deep bed of coals that holds steady heat, so the naan keeps coming off the walls and the skewers keep moving all night.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I just add it to my GFS or Sysco order?

Yes, if you're in BC or Alberta. Fill in the form and we'll send you the product code. Give it to your rep and BigBoy comes with your next delivery, on the same bill.

Can I buy straight from you?

Yes. Direct orders are in bulk, and the price per bag drops the more you buy. If you only need a few bags a week, GFS or Sysco is usually easier.

How is BigBoy different from what I use now?

Most restaurant charcoal is a mix of small and broken pieces. BigBoy is mostly big, dense lumps, so a load lasts longer and leaves less dust.

Where do you deliver?

Anywhere in Canada. You can also pick up from us in Surrey, BC or Calgary, AB.

How do I pay?

Direct orders are paid when you order, by e-transfer or card. Regular customers can apply for an account. GFS and Sysco orders go on your normal GFS or Sysco bill.
