The FL Gov has vowed to pull any state funding for any port doing business with Cuba. Should be interesting how this plays out.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
Now this is interesting.
I like it! Before I lay down $46, does anyone have any guesses on how this will vary from other lump we use? (flavor, mainly)
Last time I was in Puerto Rico I'd pass all these good kiosks cooking over natural charcoal that didn't smell like what we had back here, until I tried Fogo. Smelled just like that. (normal Fogo, not this Cuban stuff)

Back in the day it used to be $1 per pound off of Amazon.ca. That and Quebracho, and Kebroak. Looks like those days are long gone.
Its a very mild flavor, I loved it. It burned hot, or so it seemed to me, and seemed to last along time as well.

I also used to get the regular fogo when it went on sale, $1/lb shipped free. it was good lump. looks like those days are gone:

Yes this stuff is the charcoal coming out of Cuba. The one you have on Amazon is from South America
