When it comes to authentic fire-cooked flavor, not all charcoal is created equal. While most home grillers grab whatever’s cheapest at the supermarket, UK’s top restaurants and pizza joints swear by Globaltic charcoal.
As the exclusive UK supplier of Globaltic premium fuels, we’ve worked with Michelin-starred kitchens, artisanal pizzerias, and gourmet food trucks. Here’s why professionals choose Globaltic – and why you should too.
1. The Science of Perfect Heat
100% Natural Oak (No Fillers, No Chemicals)
-
Faster ignition – Lights in 15 mins (vs. 30+ for briquettes)
-
Longer burn – 2.5-3 hours of consistent high heat (750°F/400°C)
-
Minimal ash – 70% less residue than cheap charcoal
"Globaltic gives us the perfect base heat for our Neapolitan pizzas – no bitter aftertaste from additives."
– Marco Bianchi, Head Chef at Bella Napoli (London)

Top with unlit charcoal – extends burn time by 2x
Step 2: Airflow Control
-
Keep vents half-open for steady temps
Step 3: Relighting Hack
-
Simply shake the ash – unburnt chunks reignite easily
