Charcoal

We produce and sell high quality hardwood charcoal made from wood sourced locally as part of our woodland management and coppice restoration work.

The Coppice Co-op is committed to reducing reducing our environmental impact in a number of ways. Traditional methods of making charcoal can produce lots of emissions and are relatively inefficient. More modern retort technology converts waste gas into heat to drive the production process, resulting in a hotter, cleaner and more productive burn. The resulting charcoal is extremely pure and very high quality. In 2022 we received funding from the Arnside and Silverdale AONB to help us purchase a mobile Exeter Retort. As well as using the retort to make our charcoal, we also provide a range of demonstrations, courses and volunteering opportunities in woodlands across South Cumbria and North Lancashire.

You can purchase Coppice Co-op charcoal from our yard (you can order online and collect, or pay at the yard by BACS), or from any of our local stockists including:

Arnside Spar, Silverdale Spar, Carr Bank Garden Centre, Stuart Smiths Butchers of Milnthorpe, Houghtons Filling Station and Garden Centre, Eskdale campsite.
