Breaking lump charcoal


Recommended Posts

Help me... I am making a mess!

Anyone have some good techniques for breaking down lump charcoal into
natural sizes?  Right now I'm hacking away at it with a cleaver
and getting dust all over the place, not to mention random pieces
flying all over the room.

How do you guys do your chopping?

Well, I generally make a mess myself.
But to minimize the mess i use a sharp razor knife, and instead of chopping, i press. This uses pressure instead of force, reduceing shatter. You can also wrap your chunks in paper towel. The best thing I do is every so often sit down and chop up a bunch at a time and store the extra in a tupperware container.
Ahh..the joys of the natural bulk charcaol...
