Why do you need coconut shell charcoal and not the normal kind that can be found everywhere? Is it less carcinogenic, or just more environmentally friendly? Is it cheaper? Does it smell better like mesquite, hickory, or apple woods?
I'm not being a troll! I'm really interested. Thanks!

I used the charcoal when I was running a hotel in Siem Reap (bought from Phnom Penh). The main reason being that no trees need to be chopped down to make the charcoal.chkwoot wrote:Why do you need coconut shell charcoal and not the normal kind that can be found everywhere?

Nice website however it seems to be an NGO based "enterprise". I wonder if they actually make a profit from selling the briquettes?
As in if it stood on its own as a business would it be viable, assuming it's been running a while.

Unprofitable coffee shops, craft businesses, English schools operating at a loss - subsidised by outside funds, staffed by volunteers unintentionally wiping out any local competition.

I've met the team running it and they're a great group. I have no idea how their income statement looks, but they're an environment friendly and sustainable enterprise that I would encourage people to support. I believe that you can purchase it at Total Gas Stations, but I'm not positive.
