Pitmaster Quebracho Charcoal

Pitmaster Quebracho Charcoal 15 kg.

Charcoal of hardwood, Quebracho Blanco (holm oak) from Argentina. The hard chunks and the coarse sorting, ensure a long burn duration and high temperature when incinerated. That makes this charcoal very suitable for our Grill Bill ceramic barbecue or other charcoal BBQ’s.

Carbon

Pitmaster Quebracho blanco, is a high quality charcoal with a high calorific energy value and is produced with the values of the German DINnormering of approximately 80 percent carbon content.

Product density

The name Quebracho comes from Spanish: ‘Quiebra Hacha’: which means : ‘Breaks the axe’. The product density of the Quebracho wood is 40 percent. This means that the quebracho wood is one of the hardest woods in the world. Logically, this product density therefore ensures a product that has a very long burn time. Quebracho blanco charcoal can reach temperatures of 750 degrees celcius. Technical specification of the wood is 1,2 Kg/dm³.

Moisture content

Pitmaster quebracho blanco contains about 2 percent moisture because the product is carefully produced and packed. The lower the moisture percentage, the better and smoother the product will burn. The remains after burning is the ash. The less ash, the higher the carbon content of the product. This means that Pitmaster Quebracho is a pure and clean charcoal product due to the low ash content of about 4 percent.

Production

Pitmaster charcoal is made from waste wood from the wood industry in Paraquay or is produced on the plantations especially built for it, and is a 100 percent natural product. The production is an almost full machinal process. The large pieces (lump) are selected and sieved out to create an ideal mix of charcoal (40-280 mm).

Use

Pitmaster quebracho blanco is ideally suited for various grilling methods such as direct and indirect preparation. Quebracho is often used in kamado grills and charcoal ovens such as josper and mibrasa that use closed combustion systems with which the product gets an authentic smoke taste. We advise the product to blaze properly at startup until the smoke that forms has disappeared in order to avoid unpleasant smell and taste.

Aroma

Quebracho blanco gives a very specific and strong taste to the product that is being prepared, and especially with meat products this can provide just that extra bit of taste experience. Of course there is no dispute about taste and not everyone will appreciate this taste and that is why we offer other types of wood in addition to the quebracho, in order to be able to satisfy everyone’s wishes.
