About Us
The Saint Louis Charcoal Company, LLC is the sole owner and national distributor of the Rockwood Lump Charcoal brand of charcoal. Inspired in 2006 by an air ambulance pilot trying to bring high quality charcoal from Ozarks to his family and friends in St. Louis, the annual 'charcoal run' soon became a monthly trip.
Utility trailers full of charcoal turned into tractor trailers, and when retail businesses started inquiring, it was time to develop a brand and start a company. In 2012, Rockwood was born and within months it gained national attention as a favorite of competition BBQ teams and professional chefs. The company product line has expanded to include agricultural carbon soil amendments and smoking woods, plus a retail space with BBQ supplies, grills/smokers, and local sauces & spices in their Eureka, MO warehouse.
Product Description
Rockwood Lump Charcoal is a 100% Missouri product--everything from the wood to the bag is from Missouri. Currently the #1 consumer rated lump charcoal product in the US, Rockwood is available in over 2800 stores in 44 states with '100% Missouri Hardwoods' prominently displayed on the bag. The high carbon content provides superior temperature control, while burning clean, and leaving little ash.
Made from leftover oak, hickory, and maple slabs from the milling industry, Rockwood keeps its environmental impact low by using the wood that would be otherwise discarded. Additionally, the byproduct from charcoal production is used as a soil amendment which puts the carbon back into the ground rather than into the atmosphere. Rockwood branded smoking woods also come from Missouri--they provide chefs with a high quality, kiln-dried wood chunk or chip of their favorite native Missouri woods.
Locations
Rockwood charcoal is available in over 75 locations across Missouri, which can be found at RockwoodCharcoal.com.
The Eureka, MO warehouse has a small retail store with smoking woods, local spices and sauces, Big Green Egg grills/smokers, and other BBQ tools, accessories, etc. Days and hours vary by season, best to call or email ahead of time.
