coconut charcoal

We use the brown coconut husk here and the shells to start the wood for grilling here in Guam. Best fire starter I've seen.

is it advisable for smoking meats or in a brick oven? does it create good flame or just smoke? just bought a sack of coconut husks, im not sure if it needs to dry out or it can be used as it is. Thanks.

We would use it as a fire starter cuz it burned so good. Not to cook on though. Set up wood in a teepee with coconut husk inside light husk. Wood would catch fire quick.
