Quebracho Hardwood Charcoal is made from dense South American Hardwoods known as Axe Breaker and Ironwood. It is very dense wood, that makes a heavy long burning charcoal. The large sizes will ensure a very long and slow burn in your ceramic Kamado style cooker (Kamado Bono, Kamado Luna, Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe etc). When regulating the airflow this is a very hot burning charcoal, hotter even than Marabu. This charcoal does particularly well in restaurants and with BBQ enthusiasts that like to get a good sear on the meat without overcooking, especially thinner cuts.
