A Message From Matt

In late summer last year, Whittle and Flame suffered an arson attack. That isn't ideal for a site full of wood and charcoal.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the fire, and our wood distillery itself was largely unharmed. If you've come here looking for our ridiculously popular Single Species Lumpwood charcoal, I'm sorry to say that you'll be in for a bit of a wait, but we have just restarted production of our Purechar Whittlebricks.

If you like what we do and you want to support us in rebuilding the company, please grab some wood vinegar for your garden, a nice hat, and don't forget to follow the links and get some Whittlebricks for the BBQ.

Thank you for your support,

Matt
