Black Ranch Marabu charcoal is medium-sized, fairly uniform in shape, and burns steadily for a long time at a high temperature. The coals are mostly stick-shaped and are best suited for grilling with direct heat due to their size and burning nature. They provide a subtle smoky flavor that is not as strong as the aroma of Quebracho coals. Marabu comes from a wood species that is considered harmful in Cuba, making this charcoal an ecological and ethical choice.

This unique charcoal features a hard and dense structure, making it an ideal heat source, thanks to its high calorific value and long burning time. Due to the smaller sieve size, this charcoal is suitable for use in all types of charcoal grills.
