BBQ is one of the favorite ways to gather with family and friends. But few people think about exactly what is burning under their steaks. Choosing KOM charcoal is a choice for health.
Hidden Dangers in Cheap Charcoal
Many imported and cheap charcoals on the market, as well as almost all briquettes, contain additives. To hold charcoal dust in perfect shape, industrial glues, starch, sodium nitrate, and limestone are used. When heated, these chemicals evaporate and stick directly to your food.
Why are KOM 100% Natural?
KOM charcoal is made entirely from solid hardwood (beech, oak, and hornbeam) from the Berkovitsa mountains. We add nothing. The process is clean - wood is baked without oxygen, leaving only pure carbon.
No Toxic Smoke
When you light cheap charcoal, the initial smoke is often thick, white, and smells like petroleum. With KOM charcoal, the smoke is light, bluish, and smells only like burning wood. This means no carcinogenic fumes.
Peace of Mind for Kids
When cooking for your children, you want to be sure the food is as clean as possible. With KOM charcoal, you eliminate the risk of chemical food contamination. Real, healthy BBQ starts with the right charcoal!
