Cooking with charcoal? This is the mistake most people make…
If you’re putting your food on too early, you’re ruining the flavour, wasting heat, and making it harder than it needs to be.
Here’s how to know when your charcoal is actually ready:
• No flames, just glowing coals
• Covered in a light grey/white ash
• Consistent, even heat across the base
This is when you’ll get that perfect sear, better flavour, and an easier cook.
At ArcMate, we’ve spent countless hours testing charcoal setups on the ArcPit — and once you get this right, everything changes.
