Not at all. Kozo is designed for a completely clean burn. Once the briquettes are fully lit and glowing red, any accelerant has burned off completely. A clean burn means you taste your premium cut of meat, not the fuel-leaving your palate clear to enjoy a glass of vintage wine or a good cigar on the patio while you grill.
t comes down to density and heat. Regular wood charcoal often contains a lot of air, which means it burns faster and less consistently. Nut shells and olive pits are incredibly dense natural materials. When compressed into our eco-briquettes, they burn hotter, last longer, and produce significantly less ash than traditional charcoal. Plus, it repurposes materials that would otherwise go to waste.
The proteins that cause allergic reactions are found in the meat of the nut, not the shell. Furthermore, the extreme temperatures reached during our manufacturing and burning processes destroy any residual organic proteins. However, if you have a severe allergy, we always recommend consulting with your physician before using the product.
One bag provides ample, consistent heat for a standard grilling session. From the moment you light it, you'll be ready to cook in minutes, and the coals will maintain an optimal cooking temperature long enough to grill your entire meal. Whether you're making a quick weeknight dinner or throwing burgers on during the hockey game, Kozo has you covered.
