How to use it at home
Fill a chimney starter, light it from below with a wood wool firelighter and tip it out once the top pieces have greyed over, about 10–15 minutes. For a long cook in a kamado, mix in HazelHex briquettes and light the two together: the briquettes hold the temperature, and the birch adds heat and wood character. See our kamado charcoal guide.
In restaurant service
Kitchens run HazelHex as the powerbase for long, stable heat, with birch lit together with it for extra heat and flavour. The charcoal per cover calculator works out weekly bags for your covers. For supply, see Hospitality.
Sourcing and packaging
The raw material is FSC-certified sawmill by-product from Ukraine. Globaltic's own chain-of-custody certification is in progress, so the FSC logo isn't on the bag yet. Packed in a paper bag.

Payment
Payment security is a critical aspect of running an online store, as it ensures that customers' sensitive information is protected during transactions. One widely recognized standard for payment security is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Globalticltd.co.uk, an online store, has implemented PCI DSS as a means of ensuring payment security. This means that the company has implemented a set of security requirements that apply to all merchants who accept credit card payments.
PCI DSS requirements include measures such as maintaining secure networks, encrypting data, and implementing access controls. For example, Globalticltd.co.uk would need to use strong encryption when transmitting sensitive data such as credit card numbers over the internet, and ensure that only authorized individuals have access to customer data.
By using PCI DSS, Globalticltd.co.uk is able to assure its customers that their payment information is being handled securely. Additionally, the company is able to protect itself from potential financial and reputational damage that could result from a data breach or other security incident.
Overall, payment security is crucial for any online store, and PCI DSS provides a standardized framework for ensuring that customers' sensitive information is protected. Globalticltd.co.uk's use of this standard is a strong indication of its commitment to ensuring a safe and secure shopping experience for its customers.
