Coconut Shell Charcoal

Has anyone tried this brand of coconut charcoal? - I'd like to know your thoughts

Looks like the real stuff, but man that's expensive!

Yup, it does look expensive,
When I used to use the old style 'boxed' coconut charcoal, I could keep temps up with little problem. With the bagged stuff, i struggle to maintain the temperature over a period. I can do it by mixing it with the lump wood (very generously donated), but i'm always on the lookout for something similar to the old stuff.

I'm running low on Don Marco's Pig Wing Rub, & my wife's addicted - Time to re-stock, if i get chance i'll drop in!

Pull in! It will be good to catch up again... Pig Wing rocks!
On the cocoshell front, CPL are talking of discontinuing thier version, so I may have to look at bring some of the good stuff in from Europe.

Has anyone found if anyone supplies Black Pearl? Here's a link to their website: Black Pearl Briquettes

This place have a pallet left of cocoshell, after that is gone that will be it the owner reckons...no more

I was in yesterday and picked up 8 bags and a bag of Lokki heat diamonds as well, unsure if any good..??
The owner states he will be stocking Supagrill briquettes when the cocoshells are finished, are these any good?

Just need to order my Excel now and get them fired up..!!

We've found a new product that works just as well as the coco shells http://www.macsbbq.com/shop/accessories/product/big-k-restaurant-charcoal-briquettes-10kg-boxes

Thanks Mack
On another note...maybe a stupid question, are you MACs BBQ in Cornwall yourself..??...reason I ask is that I have completed the "contact us" form on the website twice looking to speak with someone prior to ordering a Frontier / Excel.......had no response as yet

Still looking to get a smoker but wanted some advice first, hopefully you can help if it is you, or I can try elsewhere....be good if you could help though

Cheers

Hi Jambo,

Haven't had an email from you, but it's probably best to give us a call on 01726 851495, as it would be easier to explain things over the phone (we're very slow at typing and there's a lot to talk about).

Cheers Mac
May call next week....just ordered the Excel on the website this afternoon anyway....!!
