How to Reuse Charcoal

How to Reuse Charcoal

Reloading for Your Next Cook

Open the Egg and use an ash tool to gently stir any remaining charcoal. Smaller ash particles will fall through to the bottom, leaving larger reusable pieces at the top ready to be used for your next cook. Scoop out & discard the ash from the bottom of the Egg using the ash tool and ash pan.

Add Fresh Charcoal

Add fresh charcoal directly on top of your previously burned charcoal. Mixing old and new charcoal helps maintain a steady burn and ensures that you have enough fuel. 

When adding charcoal to your Big Green Egg, the best rule of thumb is to stop when you're 2 inches below the rim of the Fire Ring.

Light Your Egg

Once your Egg is lit, leave the lid open. This boosts airflow, helping the charcoal catch fire evenly. Our charcoal will get going all by itself. In just a few minutes, you'll be ready to cook.
