Eco-Friendly Grilling Practices

Elevate your grilling game while reducing your environmental footprint with these expert tips:

Optimize Fuel Usage

Use only the charcoal or wood required for your cook. Utilize a chimney starter for efficient ignition and charcoal baskets to manage heat zones, minimizing waste.

Batch Cooking Benefits

Grill larger quantities in one session to consolidate fuel usage and reduce repeated heating cycles, saving energy and time.

Local & Seasonal Ingredients

Pair your eco-friendly fuel with locally sourced meats and seasonal vegetables to further reduce your meal’s carbon footprint.

Natural Cleaning

After cooling, clean your grates with a natural bristle brush or scrunched aluminum foil to avoid harsh chemicals entering water systems. For tough spots, try a lemon half!

Compost Your Ash

If using pure wood charcoal (like Ember & Stone's!), cooled ash can often be added to compost bins or garden beds to enrich soil, depending on your local guidelines.
