Royal Oak® continues to grow and bring innovative products to consumers. We value quality and that is why we are trusted by the top professional pitmasters in BBQ and backyard grillers. The backyard grill is a staple of the home and an opportunity to bring friends and family together for a delicious meal. We thank you for trusting Royal Oak® charcoal to deliver the best flavor for your next BBQ!
The Forest Forever™ Sustainability Initiative
At Royal Oak® we have always been committed to protecting our forests through sustainable forest management best practices. For decades, Royal Oak® has sourced natural hardwood by-products (wood waste) to produce American-made Lump Charcoal, Charcoal Briquets and other wood-based products. Sawmills that harvest timber for all types of wood-based products produce wood waste as part of their process. This wood waste, if not repurposed, is simply discarded or thrown away in landfills. Royal Oak® responsibly repurposes millions of pounds of natural hardwood by-product (wood waste) and turns it into grilling fuels that provides the classic BBQ flavor we all know and love.
As part of our continued commitment to protecting our resources we are excited to announce a new sustainability initiative called Forest Forever™. We believe that manufacturers and suppliers have an important role in promoting conservation and restoration efforts to protect our forests. Forest Forever™ is a comprehensive program that includes best practices for forest management and reforestation efforts.
Sound stewardship of forests and other natural ecosystems is critical for sustaining livelihoods and benefiting current and future generations. As part of our overall sustainability goals, Royal Oak® is more committed than ever to promoting practices for maintaining healthy forests and ecosystems throughout our entire supply chain. Many of our wood suppliers have already joined us in this initiative and have agreed to follow the Forest Forever™ best practices. Together we are doing everything we can to ensure the future health and viability of our forests.
