Limerick BBQ firm fires up the sales

AT THE Ploughing Championships next week, the Irish Artisan Charcoal Company won’t just be exhibiting its products and cooking a few sausages, it will also be offering free information about barbecuing.
“When barbecues don’t light the fault is usually with the charcoal, not the barbecuer,” said Colin O’Loan who co-founded the Limerick-based start-up which he believes is the first company to produce charcoal in Ireland for sale to the retail market.
