The charcoal itself

Dense hardwood charcoal in large, solid pieces from slow carbonization in earth kilns. It lights clean and holds a steady heat on the grill for about 4 to 5 hours.

Charcoal pieces glowing orange as embers — 4–5 hours on the grillLong, even embers for restaurants and grills.

From kiln to container

The same operation in the order the charcoal moves. Every step is photographed on site.

The kiln is built by hand
Local crews stack the wood and cover it with straw and earth, the traditional way charcoal is made on the Caribbean coast.
Slow carbonization in earth
Sealed under earth, the wood turns to charcoal slowly. That is what gives the long, steady burn on the grill.
Packed to the buyer’s presentation
10 lb / 4.54 kg retail bags or bulk woven sacks, stacked on pallets and kept covered until loading.
Loaded wall by wall
Each 40 HC container is stowed tight, floor to ceiling, for an estimated 23 to 25 tonnes.
Dispatched to port
The container is sealed and leaves for port, with commercial follow-up from our office until it ships.
