MARABU PREMIUM CHARCOAL

MARABU restaurant-quality charcoal – one of the best BBQ charcoals worldwide

Premium charcoal from the MARABU bush from Cuba

Our MARABU charcoal glows with an exceptionally high heat and burns very cleanly, leaving very little ash and producing no smoke. With up to 2.5 hours, the burning time of MARABU charcoal is long-lasting. The very high carbon content and excellent quality can be recognized by the ceramic-glassy sound when two pieces of charcoal are struck together.

High heat for perfectly grilled steaks

MARABU charcoal has a very high density, the pieces are heavy and the surfaces shimmer in the light. MARABU cannot be bought in stores, but is only available in selected specialist shops and also from us. With our MARABU charcoal, we ensure that the grain size is correct. This means that all pieces are between 40–180 mm in size – this is the optimal size for gastronomy and for home use.

MARABU – recommended by professionals, loved by connoisseurs.

Up to 2.5 hours burning time

You get up to 2.5 hours of constant heat under normal conditions with MARABU charcoal.

Temperatures up to 800° C

MARABU charcoal glows with high heat and is therefore perfect for steaks & quick-fried dishes.

18 minutes ignition time

With only 18–25 minutes, the ignition time in a chimney starter is particularly short. This gives you enough time to grill!

Metallic sound

The sound of MARABU is ceramic-glassy, which indicates a very high carbon content and excellent quality.

Mild aroma

MARABU charcoal gives your grilled food a pleasant grilled aroma.

MARABU charcoal is ideal for ceramic grills

Due to the low air circulation and for good temperature control in ceramic grills, charcoal with a large grain, i.e., large pieces of charcoal, should be used. MARABU charcoal is therefore very well suited for ceramic grills such as Big Green Egg, Monolith, Kamado Joe or similar.

For long jobs in a ceramic grill (constant, low temperature for a long time), our BAMBUKO bamboo briquettes in combination with MARABU charcoal are excellent. Benefit from the long burning time of the grill briquettes and the good temperature control of MARABU charcoal. Try it out and save with our MARABU & BAMBUKO set offer.

BAMBUKO briquettes do not contain any binders. The natural lignin contained in the raw material is sufficient. This and the high carbon content ensure a particularly clean burn that does not clog the air holes. Please note that at least half of the briquettes must be glowing before use in a chimney starter (30 – 35 minutes). A Looflighter or firelighters are not sufficient to ignite the grill briquettes.

Upcycling a pest shrub to premium charcoal

“El Marabú” was imported from Southern Africa to Cuba in the 19th century and has since spread unhindered across more than 1.2 million hectares of land. The plant forms bushes and small trees up to 10 meters high and must be uprooted entirely to prevent immediate regrowth.

The MARABU tree is actually a bush and unsuitable for the furniture industry due to its tangles. But it grows quite quickly and has even become a plague in some regions. Regular pruning and removal generate wood waste that cannot be used otherwise.

And so that the wood is not simply burned pointlessly, it is used for energy generation in the form of first-class charcoal. The tree is, of course, not subject to the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
