What are coconut briquettes?

Coconut briquettes are made from the husks of coconuts. This has the advantage (from an environmental point of view) that no trees need to be cut down for it. Moreover, they contain no additives. In addition, they burn longer and produce much less ash and smoke. Furthermore, they are sold in stackable cubes, which is convenient in your barbecue and takes up less space to pack than irregular charcoal chunks. They don’t smell, so you don’t have to worry about your food smelling like coconut. Cons: coir briquettes are more expensive to buy and less widely available. Moreover, they lack the typical barbecue smell that characterizes charcoal and briquettes.
