How to use it at home
Light HazelHex together with a few handfuls of birch or oak lumpwood, in a chimney starter or straight in the grill with a wood wool firelighter. The lumpwood gets you cooking sooner and adds flavour; the briquettes reach full heat in 40–60 minutes and hold it for hours. That makes HazelHex the fuel for long kamado cooks, brisket, ribs and big gatherings.
In restaurant service
Kitchens run HazelHex as the powerbase: the long, stable heat at the foundation of the fire. Lumpwood is lit together with it for extra heat and flavour. You get fewer refuels and the same fire from the first ticket to the last. Work out weekly bags with the charcoal per cover calculator, or see Hospitality for supply. More on why kitchens do this: the operational case for hexagonal briquettes.
Sourcing and packaging
Made from hazelnut shells, a by-product of the nut industry, rather than freshly felled wood. Packed in a 10kg paper bag.
FAQ
How long does HazelHex burn?
6–8 hours on a single load in a closed grill or kamado.
How hot does it get?
Up to 1100°C in a forced-draught setup.
How long until it is ready to cook?
40–60 minutes when lit together with charcoal in the grill. It is dense, so it takes longer to come up to full heat than lumpwood, then holds it for hours.
Does it smoke?
Very low smoke and no chemical odour once fully lit.
Can I use HazelHex in a kamado?
Yes. It is made only from carbonised hazelnut shells and a potato-starch binder. See our kamado charcoal guide.
How many steaks does a 10kg bag cook?
Approximately 60 restaurant-size steaks.
Should I use it on its own or with lumpwood?
Light it together with lumpwood. The lumpwood gives you heat early and adds flavour; HazelHex gives the fire its length.
Is HazelHex safe around nut allergies?
HazelHex is made from hazelnut shells carbonised at around 900°C for 12 hours, which breaks down proteins, including allergenic ones. Our allergen statement is available on request.

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.
