Who is the creative marketing genius who decided that charcoal (carbon) is somehow more eco friendly when it is made from coconuts and adds no wood taste to your food??
Gosh, and it is petroleum free too! and only 2 1/2 times as expensive as good old charcoal made from oak,
Of course most folks use wood charcoal for, well you know that wood flavor?
One Amazon reviewer said it all: ” This product c…. is all- natural, it produces less waste and the leftovers can even be used as fertilizer. …. If there is anything negative to say about this product …, it would be the fact that coconut shells do not accomplish much in the way of adding flavor to the food. Like I said, they impart almost no taste difference due to their cleanliness and while this will be considered an asset to some, others will immediately give this product a failing grade because they will want to taste mesquite or at least some smokiness in their food. You don’t get any added flavor benefits, so it is almost like cooking on a stovetop.”
From their Amazon site:
Enjoy a guilt free, high quality outdoor experience by using Coshell coconut briquettes for your BBQ cooking.

Coshell’s manufacturing process uses no petroleum or harmful ingrediants that could be passed along to your food, making it better for your family and flavor. Coshell briquettes use a material that traditionally goes in to a landfill. It has the added benefit of burning cleaner so fewer greenhouse gases are emitted and no trees are cut down to produce the raw material.
