Jealous Devil charcoal.
Jealous Devil charcoal is a lump charcoal made from quebracho blanco, a dense hardwood sourced in Paraguay, and it is one of the charcoal brands we carry in our Sarasota showroom. The wood is kilned into extra-large chunks that light quickly, hold high heat for searing, and burn for hours once a smoker's vents are closed down.
What is Jealous Devil charcoal made from?
The short answer is quebracho blanco, a hardwood grown in Paraguay and known locally as the axe-breaker tree for how dense it is. That density is the whole point of the brand: the wood carbonizes into large, heavy lumps that resist crumbling in the bag and keep burning long after a lighter charcoal has gone to ash. Jealous Devil charcoal is made from quebracho blanco hardwood sourced in Paraguay.
Jealous Devil says Chunx XL exceeds 1,100°F for searing. Its comparison table lists heat output exceeding 1,170°F with sustained power. The product page lists 4+ hours in open air and 20+ hours in a smoker. The table separately lists up to 20 hours for low-and-slow cooking. See Jealous Devil's Chunx XL performance details. These are the maker's figures.
We carry this charcoal because a lot of the smokers and kamados that come through our Sarasota showroom are built around long, steady cooks, and a fuel that holds temperature without constant tending fits how our customers actually use their equipment. Pinecraft Barbecue lists the Jealous Devil Chunx Lump Charcoal bag in its Sarasota catalog, and it pairs naturally with the Flame Boss controllers and Meadow Creek smokers we also carry. If you want to see or handle a bag before you order, ask us what you can come try next time you visit, or call ahead and we can set a bag aside for pickup.
