Hi Everyone. I've asked this question on the Aussie BBQ forum but to no avail. Does anyone here know where to get good quality (not the Bunnings rubbish) lump charcoal in the Geelong/Surfcoast area? West of Melbourne?

 

Cheers

Steve

You can buy good charcoal from Bunnings, it's the Redhead brand. Very dense and long burn time. I agree the other stuff they sell as charcoal is rubbish but try the Redhead charcoal it is excellent.

I've been cooking over charcoal for a few years and doing things with meat, the butcher has only dreamed of.

BBQ Galore sell "Kamado Joe" branded US Hickory lump charcoal.  That is what I use.

I get my charcoal from a  fresh food grocer at Sunshine Plaza.

I contacted the supplier of the charcoal who advised me of that store.

I have been buying charcoal from that place for a while now.

This part of the sentance has a very disturbing overtone.

that's a quote from one of Roy and HG's radio Ads. From Roy's House of Meat.

@@caddisgeek Speaking of obtaining items that have nothing to do with stereos via this forum, did you ever procure a goat?

Not yet, slight change in direction. Looking for a sheep now.
