Product Information and FAQ
Why Cook With NATURE'S OWN Chunk Charwood™?
The wood to make NATURE'S OWN Chunk Charwood is harvested only from domestic timber. It is made from timber and limbs too small to be used by the lumber industry.
We select only hardwoods for our charwood because the harder the wood ... and the denser the wood, the hotter it burns.
Plus, our chunk charwood is made from 100% virgin hard woods only — no slab woods, no kindling, no additives.
Why Are We So Proud Of Our Chunk Charwood™?
It's fast. NATURE'S OWN Chunk Charwood™ lights in half the time of ordinary briquets. It's only 10 minutes from lighting to 1200 degrees F.
Food simply tastes better. Chunk Charwood™ burns hotter and drier, caramelizing the natural sugars in food and sealing in flavor and moisture.
It's healthful for you and the environment. Compare our Chunk Charwood™ to other brands ...
NATURE'S OWN Chunk Charwood™ is composed of 100% natural charred hardwood for pure wood-grilled flavor.
Other so-called "natural" brands (hardwood lump charcoal) usually include such materials as pallets, slabwood, flooring, softwoods, furniture remnants, or construction material. Go ahead and check your "natural" brand of hardwood charcoal ... if you see flat, squared, or dowel-shaped pieces, you'll know you're cooking with scrap woods.
Leading national bricquets are composed of semi-anthracite coal with sulfur, lignite, sodium nitrate, limestone, borax, charred sawdust, petroleum binder/starch binder.
NATURE'S OWN Chunk Charwood™ burns cleaner with 250 times less sulphur dioxide and 3 times less nitrogen oxide than composition briquets.
And NATURE'S OWN never harvests trees solely to make charred hardwood. We use the tree limbs and trunks which do not meet lumber specifications to make our Chunk Charwood™. Those that are cut down are immediately replanted. The hardwood is aged for an average of one year, then baked in the kilns, removing harmful creosote and resins. Grain alcohol, a natural fuel, is used to fire the kilns, never petroleum. That avoids petroleum residue in the NATURE'S OWN Chunk Charwood™.
Why Cook With NATURE'S OWN Fresh-Cut Woods?
NATURE'S OWN Wood Chips, Wood Chunks, and Wood Logs are fresh-cut woods, still retaining the natural moisture of the wood's sap when delivered to your door. There's no need to soak our fresh-cut woods before use. In contrast, our competitors' grilling woods are dry, requiring soaking for 3 hours before use to prevent flaming.
Of course, we also offer a number of naturally dry woods like Texas Mesquite and Southwest Pecan for your grilling needs ... variety is, after all, another distinctive feature of NATURE'S OWN products.
How Should NATURE'S OWN Fresh-Cut Woods Be Used?
You should use NATURE'S OWN Wood Chips, Wood Chunks, and Wood Logs any time you want to add unique flavoring to your foods. They can be used with your gas or electric grills and smokers, or along with your natural charred hardwood. Either way, you'll be providing a distinctive taste to your grilled foods.
Use NATURE'S OWN Wood Chips for backyard grills where the space between the fuel and the grate is close. Use the Wood Chunks (approx. 3" by 6") if you have a large grill and plan to do slow cooking. Wood Logs (14-18" wide and 4-7" in diameter) are great for a large oven or barbecue pit.
How Many Different Woods Are Available?
NATURE'S OWN offers a wide variety of fresh-cut woods for your grilling needs, plus several "dry" woods from which to choose. None of our competitors comes close to offering the great selection of grilling woods that we provide!
