Charcoal Charcoal 7,25 kg – Masterbuilt

This 7.25 kg charcoal, made from 100% premium hardwood chunks, is designed to deliver a superior experience with every use. Its natural origin and the cooking process in artisan style ovens ensure a clean burn and authentic flavour, making this product an ideal choice for any barbecue.

100% Natural Hardwood Composition

The charcoal is made exclusively from premium quality hardwoods, ensuring a long, stable and flicker-free burn. Hardwoods such as oak, hickory or mesquite are known for their high density and their ability to generate constant, long-lasting heat. Because it is fired in artisan-style kilns, this charcoal retains its natural purity, without the addition of chemicals or additives. This means you not only get a reliable heat source, but also one that doesn’t affect the flavour of your food, ensuring that the natural flavours of meat, fish or vegetables take centre stage.

Ideal for Gravity Series Grills and More

This charcoal has been designed for use with Gravity Series grills, known for their advanced technology that allows for precise temperature control. However, its versatility makes it compatible with any cooking equipment that uses charcoal, from traditional grills to smokers and ovens. The charcoal’s ability to maintain a constant, controlled temperature makes it an ideal choice not only for high-tech grills, but also for those who prefer more traditional methods. Whether you’re preparing a backyard barbecue or participating in a cooking competition, this charcoal will provide the stability and performance you need.

Versatile Mix for All Temperature Ranges

One of the most outstanding features of this charcoal is its versatility to adapt to different temperature ranges. Thanks to the blend of various hardwoods, this coal is able to maintain a steady burn at both low and high temperatures. This makes it the perfect choice for a wide variety of cooking techniques, from slow smoking a piece of meat to searing a steak quickly. The ability to precisely control the temperature means you can adjust the intensity of the heat according to the type of food you are cooking, ensuring the best results every time.

Clean Combustion for Superior Flavour

The purity of this charcoal is reflected in its clean burn, which means it produces minimal ash and residue. This not only makes it easy to clean up after cooking, but also ensures that the flavour of the food is not affected by smoke or combustion by-products. Because it contains no chemicals, this charcoal offers an authentic flavour, enhanced by the type of wood used. In addition, its combustion efficiency means you will need to use less charcoal to achieve the same level of heat, making it more economical in the long run and reducing the environmental impact.

Ideal for Prolonged Barbecue Sessions and Quantity

This 7.25 kg pack is ideal for those who enjoy long barbecue sessions or for those who cook frequently. The large chunk presentation ensures a slower and longer lasting burn, which means you don’t have to constantly add charcoal during cooking. This is particularly useful for prolonged cooking methods, such as smoking or low temperature grilling, where maintaining a constant temperature for several hours is crucial. The generous amount of charcoal in each bag also makes it ideal for large gatherings or events, ensuring you always have enough fuel to power your grill.

BBQ Style Smoked Ribs with Masterbuilt Charcoal

Enjoy BBQ-style smoked ribs using Masterbuilt charcoal on your Masterbuilt Gravity Series BBQ. This recipe combines the deep smoky flavour with the juiciness of the ribs, creating a dish that everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 2 racks of pork ribs (St. Louis or baby back)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup of your favourite Dry Rub mix (you can use a mixture of paprika, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder)
• 1 cup apple juice (optional, to keep the moisture in during cooking)
• 1/2 cup of your favourite BBQ sauce
• Smoking woods (such as apple or hickory) to add to the coals

Preparation

1. Preparation of the ribs

1. Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs to allow the flavour to penetrate better and make them easier to eat.
2. Apply the oil and mustard: Lightly brush the ribs with olive oil and then with yellow mustard. The mustard will help the Dry Rub adhere better to the meat and add flavour during cooking.
3. Coat with Dry Rub: Generously apply the Dry Rub all over the ribs, covering both sides. Let the ribs rest while you prepare the barbecue.

2. Barbecue Preparation

1. Fire up the barbecue: Fill the tank of your Masterbuilt Gravity Series barbecue with Masterbuilt charcoal. Add smoking woods directly on top of the charcoal or in your barbecue smoker for a deep smoky flavour.
2. Set the temperature: Set the barbecue to 110°C (225°F). This will allow for slow and low cooking, ideal for smoking ribs.

3. Cooking the Ribs

1. Place the ribs on the grill: Once the barbecue has reached temperature, place the ribs directly on the rack, bone side down.
2. Smoke the ribs: Close the lid and let the ribs cook for approximately 3 hours. During this time, you can spray the ribs occasionally with apple juice to keep them moist.
3. Wrap and continue cooking: After 3 hours, remove the ribs and wrap them in foil, adding a little apple juice inside the packet. Return the wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for another 2 hours.
4. Sauce and finish: Carefully unwrap the ribs and apply a generous layer of BBQ sauce on both sides. Cook the unwrapped ribs for another hour to allow the sauce to caramelise and the ribs to take on a deep, glossy colour.

4. Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove and rest: Once the ribs are ready, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
2. Slice and serve: Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot, accompanied by your favourite garnish such as coleslaw, corn on the cob or garlic bread.

Additional Tip

For extremely tender ribs that fall off the bone, you can extend the cooking time in the foil (step 3) for an additional 30 minutes, making sure the internal temperature of the meat reaches at least 88°C (190°F).
