Carboext

Carboext sells charcoal through Amazon and publishes no corporate history we can check. The product is straightforward: a large sack of holm oak charcoal, presented as artisanal, in lump form and without additives. The species is what matters here, a dense wood that gives a long burn, high heat and little ash, exactly the profile a kamado exploits better than any other barbecue.

In a ceramic, charcoal like this is lit once and carries long cooks; whatever is left over serves again in the next session. Two honest warnings: lump size in an artisanal sack is irregular and fines collect at the bottom, and the Amazon listing itself declares a weight (14 kg) different from the one in the title (15 kg).
