More grilling.
Less cleanup.
COCO-BBQ coconut shell charcoal vs. traditional wood-based briquettes. A different fuel for longer cooks, easier cleanup and more time around the grill.
| Your BBQ | COCO-BBQ | Traditional briquettes |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel source & forests | Coconut shells instead of harvested wood Our fuel gives coconut-industry shells a second life without cutting trees specifically for charcoal. | Unsustainable harvesting of live trees for charcoal can contribute to deforestation. Available dead wood and recovered wood are alternatives that avoid cutting live trees for fuel. |
| Long cooks | Keep the cook going Dense coconut shell fuel built for sustained, even heat. | Lighting speed and burn duration depend on the brand and formula. |
| Cleanup | Low ash. Easier cleanup. Less residue to manage, with airflow kept clearer during your cook. | Ash comes from the fuel and other ingredients; output varies by blend. |
| Natural fuel | All-natural coconut shell charcoal Made from natural coconut shells for your outdoor grill. | Wood-based briquettes vary by formula. Check each product’s ingredient information. |
| Heat zones | Arrange your fire your way Uniform cylinders for placing fuel in direct and indirect heat zones. | Typically pillow-shaped pieces; size and shape vary by product. |
| Cookout portions | Four BBQs. One 10 lbs box. Individually packaged charcoal, ready for your next gatherings. | Commonly sold loose in bags, with portioning left to the griller. |
The four-BBQ pack is a usage guide; the amount needed depends on grill size and cooking time. Heat, burn duration and ash depend on airflow and fuel load. Traditional briquettes vary by brand and formula.
