Did You Know? What’s In Your Charcoal

Charcoal

If you’ve ever been to a cookout where the “grill master” showed off their pyrotechnic skills by drowning the charcoal with streams of lighter fluid, you know that the oily flavor of that toxic mess permeates whatever’s on the grill. Consider this, if your food can absorb flavors from whatever you use to fuel your fire, what else is your food absorbing?

Standard charcoal often includes fillers that contain nitrates and chemicals that you don’t want in your body. These include anthracite coal and coal dust, limestone, treated wood, petroleum products, starch, sodium nitrate, and borax. As these components break down in the fire, the microscopic particles rise with the smoke and cling to what is soon to be your meal.

Avoid exposure to these potentially harmful additives by choosing natural charcoal brands like Cowboy Charcoal, 100% natural lump charcoal. Compare Cowboy Lump Charcoal to Standard Briquettes. 1. All natural, 100% charcoal, no coal, fillers, or chemicals! 2. Quicker, hotter fire, with more heat than briquets! 3. Easy lighting, starts in half the time of briquets! 4. Great taste with no starch or petroleum off-taste and flavor! 5. Charcoal can be added to fire without smelly fumes! 6. All natural charcoal means less ash, clean up is minimal!

Food tastes better, without harsh chemicals or odors that can be released when cooking with briquettes or other similar products.

Find our Cowboy 100% Natural Lump Charcoal at all locations!
