aFire Coconut Charcoal
Do the planet some good when hosting your next barbecue.
user ratingMonday, July 18, 2011
Just when you thought the food world had exhausted all the capabilities of the mighty coconut—water, oil, milk and chips, to name a few—now you can grill with it too. Made from the inner hard shell of a coconut, Coconut Charcoal is a safe, non-petroleum fuel source perfect for grilling meats, veggies or whatever your favorite barbecue grub. It’s high-heat and more efficient than regular charcoal, and it burns cleaner, using no chemical additives and producing less smoke, so your food tastes less like gas and more like, well, food. (Note: Your grilled eats won’t take on any coconut flavor.) Skip the fumes of lighter fluid and also pick up the aFirepuck Fire Starter ($19.71/6-pack; amazon.com). —Eva Meszaros
