- All you need to know about FOGO Charcoal. Different types of charcoals and their usage.
We are constantly asked "what are the differences in FOGO’s different bags of charcoal?" It is the number one question that we get asked so we figured that we would break it down for you. In this video, we go through each of our 3 main types, Premium, Super Premium and Eucalyptus. We discuss the sizes, the main uses for each one, flavors, where our woods are sourced and all other aspects of each one.
Just a little bit to pique your interest. FOGO is made from a blend of aromatic woods in Central America. That is what gives FOGO its unique flavor profile that it is prized for. This area of the world is famous for its high quality, shade grown coffee. Those shade trees only serve one purpose, to provide just the right amount of shade to make world class coffee. They are constantly trimmed, removed, replaced, and replanted. The wood is too short and doesn’t work for timber, so it has been left to rot on the coffee plantations.
FOGO and the plantations work together to recover the wood and make it into the worlds best charcoal. We would love to hear from you and find out if you have any other questions that we did not cover in the video. Let us know in the comments if there is anything that we can answer for you.

There’s nothing not to love about FOGO! 👍 🔥🔥🔥
We love to hear that Kathy and love having you in the FOGO Family!
Yes FOGO is amazing
@@jonathansteffany 🙌🔥🔥🔥
Well, the price.... :( But otherwise, yes, it's awesome!
That information about the shade trees for el salvador coffee growing is fascinating. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Making the transition from Weber briquettes to full Fogo lump for both slow and fast cooks 🔥I’m excited! Grabbed two bags each of Premium and Super Premium 👌🏽
That's great to hear, I hope you'll let us know what you think!
@@FOGOcharcoal Guys. Absolutely lovin’ FOGO Premium 🏆 I’m definitely a believer and will never go back to briquettes. This stuff fires up quick, burns super hot, leaves very little ash and is so freakin efficient that I’ve done 4 hot and fast cooks on pretty much the same batch, only adding a couple chunks to re-light. I’m a FOGO guy for sure ✌🏽
That last piece was massive
It almost scared me it was so big! lol
Premium is my GO TO for Steak Competitions.
That's great Steve, and we have been following you kicking butt every weekend! Keep up the great work!🏆
@FOGO Charcoal “Great detailed explanation Ron. I can’t ever seem to open a bag of charcoal by pullin’ the string lol. Always have to resort my good ole trusty pocket knife. Happy Father’s Day!”
It can be frustrating. You have to untie the very end and then go from there.
We hope that this info is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions that we didn't touch on.
Yes, exactly what the Captain said!
Great info, thank you for doing this video. Fogo Life with Captain Ron is my favorite channel across the TH-cam universe!
Wow, thank you so much Marc, we are so glad you're enjoying it!
Going camping this weekend and picked up a bag of premium! To be honest, never heard of this brand…I was impressed by the bag. I’m looking forward to grilling up the ribeyes I got for the trip! Can’t wait!
Fantastic! Have fun and let us know what you think!
i made the mistake of buying super premium for grilling, I was so confused about it not working properly until i saw this video. this explained it all
Awesome, glad it helped!!
About to pick up my first bag of Fogo. Excited to give it a try!
Eggcellent! Welcome to the Fogo Family. We hope you enjoy it!
Great presentation... i got my first Kamado grill last year and am currently looking for new types of charcoal, the Super Premium looks worth a try.
Full disclosure, as a newbie I discovered your brand in an Eater video about Hawksmoor steakhouse in NYC. The chef there swears by it, so I figured it must be good.
Yes! They are an unbelievable eatery and smart too!
I do more of the low and slow type cooking, so I use (and LOVE) Super Premium the most. I do cook with various brands, but hands down FOGO is by far the best. It's a great product for sure.
Hey, that's great, we are so glad to hear that! Yes, the Super Premium definitely sounds right for you.
How do you get the super large chunks lit? I struggle to. Today I have a small flat corned beef brisket I’m trying to smoke and since it is small I put one huge log in and used the grill gun to light one side of it hoping it would last all the way through the cook (the flat is only 3 lbs). Lit the log but it didn’t stay lit. Lit it with the grill gun even longer but it still didn’t stay lit. What I am doing wrong?
@@ryanleal1764 you can either use a chimney, or, put the smaller ones on the bottom, and the larger ones on top. Hope that helps.
@@backdraftbarbecue6947 I broke up the large piece and it lit right up! thank you!
I have used Carbon Del Sur for a long time, I needed more. Went to El Bodegón and guess what I found? Fogo Premium! Well, my next cook will be done with your Charcoal! I’m sure I’ll love it.
Fantastic! Which Bodegon did you go to?
West Palm Beach, corner of Military Trail and Forest Hill Blvd.
Ask them to add the super premium and eucalyptus. 35# bags also.
@@luisabellon5869 Nice, I used to live at Hypoluxo and Military!
Great job in explaining the differences.
Thanks Richard, I am glad to hear that it helped!
This video answered a lot of questions for me before I place my order.
That's great , I am glad that we were able to help.
Looking forward to giving the super premium another go, my current brand does have a very strong flavour which isn’t always wanted.
I can relate Kurt. Try it out, let me know what you think!
My black bag chunks were not even close to that size… mostly small chips… other than that I loved it
I'm sorry to hear that Kevin, occasionally some slip through. You can contact sales@fogocharcoal.com if you feel that you were not satisfied.
Same. Usually always small chunks and small chips.
Talk with us about Quebracho. I love all your products and your customer service! IT is the BEST!
Wow, thank you! That's great to hear. Quebracho is a denser wood that burns longer.and very cleanly.
This is all new to me! Great info!
I'm so glad it was helpful Sylvia!
I haven't gotten to try eucalyptus yet, might buy a bag for the fourth of July
My bet is that you will love it
@@FOGOcharcoal I very likely will. I've used the black bag for almost every cook and the yellow bag for smoking ribs, zero complaints. New to the big green egg world and to FOGO but it has been a very worthwhile endeavor
Thanks for sharing I have 3 bags of Quebracho sitting in my garage that I haven't tried yet.
We suggest going to directly to the grill and light that stuff up!,🔥🔥
@@FOGOcharcoal HAHA!
@@RumandCook I used quebracho in my bbq comp for the 1st time and it performed amazing!
@@andrewpope204 Thanks, I'll give it a try soon!
Than you for the breakdown.. I love Fogo!
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Quebracho wasn’t covered? Please make a short video on it. I have bought the
Quebracho and the black bag
We may be covering that in another video. Thanks so much for tuning in!
Thank you for all that great information! Is this going to be on the final exam?
Yes, yes it will be, in full essay form..... Better get with Noodles and do some studying....
.. everything he said is absolutely 100% true.. Fogo is the way to go.. no scrap wood.. no old wood floors.. no 2x4s,.. only real hardwood.
Great to hear Russ, glad you like it so much!
Love the story of where the product comes from. #FOGOFamily #TasteTheDifference
Thanks Brian, that is truly appreciated. We feel it is important to share our story and for everyone to know just where their charcoal is coming from.
Great informative video Cap! But…what about the Quebaracho??
We were waiting until you come down to cover that one!
@@FOGOcharcoal good call! It’s a great option too, and I love saying “Quebaracho”!!! 🔥🔥
Wish you had included QUEBRACHO as well... Great video, thank you!
Thanks Anthony, much appreciated. We didn't include it because we aren't always able to have it at all times.
What do you mean with "Eucalyptus burns longer"? Longer than what? Longer than your Premium?
Sorry, burns longer than your average lump charcoal
Just started using an Italian kebab grill. It's 4 inches by 45 inchrs. Am using black bag. What's the best way to break up bigger chunks? Close eyes and hammer? P.S. this grill is great for NY strip steaks, when FOGO is providing the heat. Eucalyptus ordered for our 4 July grilling.
Excellent, enjoy!!!
What would be better for a low and slow on 22in webber kettle? Would the super premium lumps be too big?
You could definitely use either. I would ideally probably mix the two. On the 22", the Super Premium may be a bit large but should work fine. I will have to look into this.... maybe a good video idea..
I’ve met people who are allergic to eucalyptus. Would burning the Eucalyptus charcoal release the irritants that trigger allergic reactions? Or does all of that stuff get destroyed during the kiln-firing?
You know what Damien, I do not have the information to properly answer that and I would hate to say one thing, be wrong and have someone have an allergic reaction. Probably better to be safe and steer clear of it.
On the strength of this video I think I'll give Fogo a try. One question: does the super premium have a strong smoky flavor characteristic or is it comparatively mild? I'm looking for a long lasting fuel for "long" cooks such as chuck roasts, briskets etc in my PBC and I'm curious how the flavor compares to other leading brands of lump charcoal.
That’s great! All of our charcoal is made from Inga wood. It has a very mild flavor and burns evenly for long periods of time. Once you try it though. You may never want your try another charcoal again!
@@FOGOcharcoal I just signed up for the rewards program on your website and ordered one bag each of Premium and Super Premium to give it a shot. Merry Christmas to you and yours:)
Awesome, welcome to the Fogo Family
Can you use the FOGO premium lump charcoal in a Webber master touch grill?
Absolutely! We also have an exciting new product coming out that is even better suited to kettle cooking. Watch for some new videos
GrillHunx said hold my beer hahahaah
Well ok then!
@@FOGOcharcoal are you inviting me to a throwdown or a brodown? 😂😂😁😁
So when I actually need it to get super hot, I want the eucalyptus?
No, they will all get very hot. Just make sure that you have enough in there for a good fire.
Happy Father's to all you Father's out there. #BBQDaddy #smokedaddy
Thanks so much, Have a great day Lynn!
I have a gravity charcoal smoker. Would the premium be a better choice?
You can never go wrong. Super Premium has the largest chunks, great for low and slow
@@FOGOcharcoal I guess I was more concerned about the larger chunks getting caught in the chute.
Making a full beef tenderloin. Planning on 225-250 until temp then reverse sear. Premium or super premium?
Either one would be fine. It isn't too long of a cook.
Love the videos
Thanks so much!
Love the everyday premium, where can I find that little grill? 2:58
Hi Mike, Glad you enjoy the charcoal! That little grill is called the C4 and is available on our website at www.fogocharcoal.com. There is a link in the description.
Sure would like some for my pellet grill
You mean like one of the other brands is doing? Fogo may not jump on that band wagon as they have to use some sort of binder like others do for briquettes that Ron mentioned in this video.
One never knows what the future may hold..........
You know us too well Fred, thank you.
Which bag is the best choice for pizza (500*-600*)?
Hey Kyle, I prefer the Black Bag Premium or Eucalyptus for pizza and pizza temps.
What type would be recommended for pizza
Either one but I would reach for the black bag first
@@FOGOcharcoal Thank you
Im going to ace and grab me a bag to try out
Be careful, once you go FOGO, you never go back....
@@FOGOcharcoal Got my bags, we shall see
At 5:38 you say it is designed to give all different sizes. I will let others decide what marketing that means. If you want to design it then have top quality large wood and sale it and sell the crumbles cheaper.
Thanks Roger!
Toxic?
I don't know what you mean?
