Texas Original wants its products to be the best they can
Texas Original Charcoal founder, Joey Machado has 20-plus years of experience as a competition cook on top of oil-field catering and being a passionate backyard cook for decades longer.
With his experience and understanding of cooking on charcoal, he knows what fellow cooks expect out of the burning products they choose to use and how to pick quality charcoal.
Since the early 2000’s the Texas Original brand has been producing quality products for consumers in the barbecue sector. It has always strived for its products to be high quality and its goal as a company is to leave its customers wanting nothing else.
Texas Original brands took the phrase “quality not quantity” to heart when creating the charcoal line and focused on what the customers would want from the charcoal they are using.
Texas Original Charcoal wants its products to be the best they can possibly be, and to achieve this goal, Joey is very hands-on in the manufacturing process. Using traditional methods to make Texas Original Charcoal many hands touch their products before the consumers receive them.
The quality is created through this manufacturing process that uses traditional underground kilns that are filled with green wood.
Greenwood is that of recently felled trees and although not good for burning on a campfire it is great for making dense long burning charcoal.
Lower quality charcoal is produced by starting with dried wood, often scrap wood which is why occasionally you hear about nails or even worse being found in the ash after a cook.
A way of telling the difference between the quality of charcoal is its weight. Charcoal made from green wood is much denser and as such heavier. This density helps with the hotter and longer aspect of how Texas Original Charcoal burns.
This is how quality becomes more important than quantity. A bulky bag of the same weight will not have the same burn time as quality charcoal which takes up less space.
