Our Story

The legend maker

You’re a legend at work. You’re a legend at the grill. You’re a legend in the… well, we all think we’re legends there. At Jealous Devil our mission is to make you a BBQ legend. Our products are still made the traditional way—with love, sweat and tears. Legendary wood. Legendary ingredients. Fueling legendary experiences built around food, drink, and community.

How the legend was born

Our origin story begins with quality ingredients. Since day one, we’ve sourced Quebracho Blanco “axe-breaker” hardwood from Paraguay, one of the densest woods on the planet: the perfect foundation for charcoal with legendary performance.

Perfecting our craft

We developed a blend of artisanal methods and modern innovation to create the hottest, longest, cleanest burning lump possible. Soon after, we began packaging it in gorgeous, weather-resistant resealable bags. We then set our sights on evolving fire logs and briquets to equally legendary levels of performance.

Sustainability without Compromise

No forests are harmed to make our products. Jealous Devil exclusively uses wood that’s been sustainably harvested or upcycled from discarded forest waste and in full compliance with all environmental regulations. We’re also heavily reinvesting in our supply chain to reduce our carbon footprint and target full FSC®️ certification by 2028.
