Pitmaster Marabu charcoal is produced in Cuba from the fast-growing Marabu plant, known for its excellent burning properties. Marabu is a dense and hard shrub-like plant that is actively cleared to allow local vegetation to thrive – making its use in charcoal production an ecological act. Marabu charcoal is like hardwood, but lighter and more efficient. Its density and solidity make it a great choice for both professionals and passionate home grillers.
