Summer’s landed, and the barbecues are calling. Whether you’re a BBQ pro or just in it for the burgers and good company, the right fuel is what takes your flames from average to unforgettable.
That’s why we sent out our BBQ charcoal bundles to some of our favourite home cooks, family foodies, and BBQ lovers across the UK. From effortless lighting to smoky, flavour-packed food, here’s what they had to say after firing up their grills with Homefire’s restaurant-grade lumpwood charcoal.
The Charcoal That Levels Up Your BBQ Game
There’s no shortcut to great flavour — but there is a smarter way to get there. Our restaurant-grade charcoal is 100% natural, sustainably sourced, and easy to light, giving you a hotter, longer-lasting fire without the hassle.
@vickyhome.x kicked off the BBQ season in style:
“I can’t say my barbecuing skills are anywhere near restaurant level but @homefireuk’s charcoal definitely is! We kickstarted the BBQ season with their natural fire lighters and premium restaurant grade lump-wood charcoal!”
@grillmasterwatts was equally impressed:
“I am so impressed with @homefireuk restaurant grade charcoal! It is so easy to light, especially with their Homefire Twizzlers.”
@cookshackiom loved the clean burn and pure flavour:
“Fantastic top quality 100% natural charcoal… easy to light… no added chemicals… odourless and smokeless flame with a little help from Twizzlers Natural Firelighters 🔥.”
Fuel for the Foodies
Our BBQ fuel brings out the best in every ingredient. Whether you’re cooking slow and low or getting a quick sear, our charcoal keeps the heat steady and the flavour rich.
@beardandbbq couldn’t get enough of the results:
“Each savoury bite is bursting with smoky flavour and tender juiciness, satisfying all my foodie cravings. This homemade creation is a true culinary delight that’s both delicious and comforting.”
@bethslifeinthecountry made a meal to remember:
“Josh was actually really impressed at the quality and how quick the @homefireuk coal warmed up… this was one of the first meals we’ve had using so much of our own produce — homegrown salad, courgettes, potatoes and locally sourced meat. What a fabulous meal to end the weekend 🤍.”
@grillmasterwatts was preparing for a feast:
“We’re cooking pulled pork today ready for the big BBQ tomorrow. What are you cooking this weekend?”
Easy, Reliable & Fool-Proof
Our BBQ bundles aren’t just for pros. They’re designed to be easy to use, fast to light, and kind to your surroundings — with smokeless, chemical-free firelighters that make the whole process smoother from the first spark.
@makingpinevaleahome shared their setup:
“Big thanks to @homefireuk for the BBQ bundle we were gifted. The smokeless firelighters are a game changer and the charcoal is fabulous quality.”
@teampreece reminded us that you don’t need a gourmet spread to enjoy a great BBQ:
“Don’t ever feel like you have to put on an elaborate BBQ and spend a fortune on food every time you fire up the grill. What really elevates the BBQ experience is cooking on Restaurant Grade Premium Charcoal from @homefireuk 🔥.”

“The best bit is that when that warm weather does arrive ☀️ and we can finally get out our BBQs 🍗 they do a perfect charcoal bundle for that too! 🔥 Making your fire hotter, longer-lasting, and more sustainable for those sunny summer barbecues.”
