We started BBQ Charcoal Pro in the early 2000s, when we noticed a gap in good quality mesquite charcoal in the Chicago market. We decided to take the opportunity to sell 100% natural high quality mesquite charcoal.
While living in Chicago, we found that locally available charcoal was of low quality, burned inconsistently, and left a chemical aftertaste on our food. Knowing that there was a better way, we reached out to our relatives in Mexico, who have worked in the charcoal business and have years of experience in the industry.
We began importing 100% Mesquite lump charcoal from Mexico to Chicago. We focused on ensuring high quality mesquite charcoal that lights faster, burns hotter, leaves less ash, and adds a distinct smoky flavor to food. We launched our Mesquite lump charcoal product and sold it to wholesalers and independent retailers in Chicago.
After almost 10 years in Chicago, we relocated to Texas. Due to a closer proximity to Mexico, we were then able to produce our own 100% Mesquite charcoal briquette, in partnership with our supplier. This new partnership helped us attain verticality, with an oversight of the entire process from manufacturing and packaging to delivery of the product.
Today, we offer Mesquite charcoal lumps and briquets in both the U.S. and Mexican markets. In the U.S., we sell to wholesalers and independent retailers across the Midwest as well as Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina. In Mexico, our products are stocked in both grocery and C-stores, and are currently, the only brand carried nation-wide by two of the biggest convenience stores in Mexico.
Our goal has always been to provide our customers with premium quality, all natural, 100% mesquite charcoal at a good value. We, at BBQ Charcoal Pro, conduct regular quality control tests to ensure that we offer only the best quality mesquite charcoal.
We are proud to say that we sell our premium quality charcoal under several of our brands as well as under various customer brands through private label.

Our lump charcoal consists of a natural composition of all-natural premium mesquite. Our lumps come in large sizes, with a large surface area, making them easy to light. This reduces lighting time and helps with holding temperatures for a long period of time. Grillers often use ump charcoal for low and slow BBQ, like pork, ribs, and brisket
Our briquets are made of carbonized mesquite charcoal and a natural binder. They have no other additives and are made of "100% natural hardwood " mesquite. They come in a uniform shape and size that enables consistent and even cooking and makes it easy to regulate a precise fire. They burn clean, reach high temperatures and last longer.
Our competitors, specifically those that sell cheap briquets, use all wood charcoal. This greatly affects quality of the product, and it is for the same reason ‘spam’ is a lot cheaper that a whole ham.
