Coconut Charcoal in NOVA

Apologies if this is posted to the wrong forum but I thought some of you Eggers would be interested in trying some coconut coal.

I've been cooking on a ceramic smoker (Kamado) for a while and that's how turned on to this stuff.  Problem is this coal is not available locally so the only efficient way to buy it is by the pallet. I've done group buys in the past and they have been a disaster, so this time around I just bought the pallet myself. If you'd like to try some of this coal I will make 1/2 the pallet available at my cost of $27 per 20lbs box.  Pick up only in Arlington, VA.

If you want to read more on the benefits of cooking on coconut these are some helpful links.

The forum isn't allowing me to post links. If you search komododamado coconut coal you'll find it. Nakewhiz has also done a write up on this stuff. Burns clean, hot and it is renewable.

    Sorry, not a dealer. Just a guy that bought a pallet to save some $.

    I'm in NOVA just outside Washington, DC. Local pick up only.

    Isn't all wood, and therefore charcoal, renewable?  I mean, doesn't it literally grow on trees?  Just saying.  I get that a lot in the building trade where they market coconut, bamboo, cork, etc. as sustainable and renewable and I wonder why they don't say the same thing for hardwood flooring.

    Anyways, with that said...I'm in Ashburn and have projects in the Arlington, Fairfax, and Alexandria.  I wouldn't mind trying out a bag or two.

    If anyone is looking for a neutral smoke this stuff is for you. Supposedly very little ash also.

    I wish I lived closer.

    If the wood used in hardwood flooring, such as oak, grew as fast as coconut and bamboo your point would be more valid. Not saying your wrong but your not comparing the same growth rates for sustainability.

    Also, I know i'm new here but let me reassure you i'm not here to just peddle some coal. I got burned last time i did a group buy so this time around I just bought the pallet and am offering it at my cost for anyone that wants to try it. I'll use whatever doesnt sell but storing a pallet of charcoal is a bit much. I'm just looking to keep 2 seasons worth of coal.

    Now that I've figured out how to post on this board I'll start to contribute as we get into season. If anyone recognizes my avatar you may have saw it at the Safeway BBQ Battle in Washington DC, I competed there a few times as a 1 man team.
