Mesquite Charcoal

HotWood, Inc. mesquite, a hardwood shrub indigenous to the Southwest United States and Mexico, sends a root system into the arid soil in search of moisture, often to depths exceeding forty feet, while its trunk and branch structure may exceed forty feet in height. The density of its wood fibers makes mesquite an extremely hard wood. This density causes mesquite charcoal to burn at temperatures higher than most other charcoals, exceeding 1,000 degrees, sealing in natural juices as it cooks. That’s why executive chefs from fine steak and seafood restaurants prefer HotWood mesquite charcoal.

For hundreds of years, mesquite has been used as a fuel for heating and cooking. You can use less, and can often reuse it, by replacing the lid over your kettle after use. HotWood, Inc. mesquite is 100% natural charcoal, no waste material, binding materials or petroleum additives to spoil the flavor of your food.
