High-quality marabu charcoal - perfect for restaurants and discerning barbecue fans

Marabu charcoal from Cuba is known for its exceptional hardness and high burning power. It is comparable in its properties to Quebracho charcoal and is therefore also ideally suited for professional use in barbecuing. Our marabu charcoal is of restaurant quality and, due to its coarse grain, is particularly suitable for large-scale consumers in the catering trade, clubs and demanding hobby barbecuers.

Cost-efficient

Due to long burning time and high density, less coal is used

Versatile

Can be used in open and closed grills of all sizes

Barbecue with marabu charcoal

The charcoal has a long burning time of up to seven hours and is therefore ideal for long barbecues. It is characterised by a high heat development of up to 850 °C. The even combustion ensures an almost smoke-free barbecue experience and leaves hardly any residual ash. Marabu charcoal is odourless and tasteless and consists of medium to large pieces. Marabu charcoal is particularly effective on oily or greasy food and enhances the flavour of the food. During the lighting process in the Kamado or lighting chimney, sparks can fly if there is a strong air supply, so make sure that the air supply is controlled. Our Marabu charcoal consists of medium to large pieces that are ideal for large open restaurant barbecues and also for closed restaurant barbecues such as Josper, Mibrasa and HAJAtec, among others. It also creates a unique grilling experience in ceramic grills, especially for long jobs, and when particularly high temperatures are needed for a longer period of time (e.g. for pizza).

Marabu charcoal as a sustainable alternative for the barbecue

Marabu bush is an invasive mimosa plant that spreads very quickly and strongly. Deforestation alone is not enough, because the bushes and trees quickly sprout again if they are not removed along with the roots. Thus, "el marabú" has overgrown more than 1.2 million hectares of land in Cuba by now. But there is hope: the clearing contributes to the protection of Cuba's natural biosphere and makes ecological sense. This is because the plant is listed in the ISSG's "Global Invasive Species Database" and must be controlled outside its natural range. So with marabu charcoal, you can not only barbecue deliciously, but also make a contribution to environmental protection.
