The Fire BehindEvery Great Kitchen
Prime Distro supplies premium white quebracho charcoal, the dense South American hardwood that serious steakhouses and grill houses trust for a long, clean, spark free burn.
Family owned · Imported direct from Paraguay for over a decade.
One Hardwood. Built for the Pros.
White quebracho is among the densest hardwoods on earth, and that density is exactly why it outperforms ordinary lump and briquettes. It burns hotter, lasts longer, and stays cleaner.
White Quebracho Charcoal
Restaurant grade hardwood lump charcoal, sized and selected for high volume kitchens that fire night after night.
Long Burn
Dense coals hold heat for hours, so your line spends less time relighting and reloading mid-service.
No Sparks
A calm, controlled burn that keeps your grill safe and your kitchen clean under pressure.
Very Low Ash
Minimal residue means faster cleanup, steadier airflow, and consistent heat from first cook to last.
Heat Retention
High density hardwood delivers a powerful, even sear that forms the backbone of a perfectly grilled plate.
Clean Aromatics
100% natural hardwood with subtle aromatics that complement meats, seafood, and vegetables.
Reliable Supply
Consistent 40 lb bags, delivered dependably across all five of our markets so you never break the chain.
Heat That Holds. Flavor That Shows.
Dense white quebracho burns hotter and holds its heat longer, giving every cut the steady, even sear that defines a perfect plate.
A Family Business Built on Fire
Prime Distro is a family owned business founded in Paraguay, where white quebracho grows dense and slow in the South American hardwood forests. For over ten years we have imported this charcoal directly to the United States, cutting out the middlemen so restaurants get a premium product at a fair price.
What started as a family trade has become a trusted supply line for some of the busiest kitchens across the country. We treat every restaurant as a long term partner rather than a transaction, because when your fire is dependable, your kitchen is too.
