Charcoal

Our Production
Four Seasons Fuel has been producing lump wood for over 25 years. We have our own retorts to keep production on our site in Billingshurst, West Sussex. All our wood feedstock comes from local woodlands and reclaimed wood from sawmills. The retorts are emission-free when the temperature reaches the gassing point of the wood feedstock within the retorts which turns them self-infant and sustainable.
