    Possibly because there's piles of the stuff left over from harvesting the "meat" maybe? I admit I'm hard pressed to come up with any other use for empty coconut shells...

      Can be used as bowls for steamed rice, actually works pretty well.
      Just because you welded some shit together doesnt make it a WSM.

        Anything made from a by-product can be considered "green" in the hands of the right marketing people.

        But, in this case, it's a true designator. The coconut husks used to make briquettes and coir (which is a garden product) are leftover from harvesting the coconut meat. Otherwise they'd represent a solid waste disposal problem.

        The sad part of this experience is that we all have mentally decided against the basic product, all because the manufacturer's quality control sucks.

          good briquettes can be extremely good.

          Last year I pretty much just used briquettes made from cottonwood trees.

          Burnt hot, burnt long, smelt just like a great mild wood smoke. If I could get it regularly - it's probably all I would use.

          At the moment I lay a bed of briquettes, throw a little lump on top. That ignites in a few minutes with the looft lighter. and sets the briquettes off a treat.
          Currently using a supermarkets own brand as I got caught short a week or two back and that was the only lump and briquettes I coluld find, that weren't 'instant light'.

          Avoid that crap like the plague !

          Got a 5kg bag from dave that just reeks to high heaven of some kind of petrochemical additive. It's just getting binned.

              Be interesting to see if they reply and if they do, what their explanation is.

                        I'm sure that changing the country of origin made a big difference. The old Stubbs on the right came from Paraguay...the new and improved is made here. I noticed this after the big Memorial Day 2fer @ Lowes in 2012.
