Coconut Charcoal is better than bamboo charcoal

I created this article since I found that this kind is better than bamboo and is very cheap, but very economical and a friendly fire.

Suggested pictures

I am a new user here and even if I registered in WikiPedia Commons to upload my very own made pics, I could not comprehend the hard rules, since I am just a lawyer and Judge. In fact, in the very article of our own Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno, his pics there is so bad and I cannot blame members here due to the stringent rules on image uploading / copyright. Yes, I believe that there must be pictures, since the CRITICAL FACT is that: Philippine made PREMIUM coconut charcoal is not only unique, due to its quick lite and environmentally friendly characteristics but it is so cheap and economical. Therefore, I urge the more expert users here to create the pics of this charcoal and even Reynato S. Puno in Commons: this maybe the best pics and source for the picture: Picture of premium coconut charcoal Exotic Petroleum-Free Instant Light Natural Coconut Brick Charcoal to Fire up America’s Grills

Regarding the economics and ecological impact, Greenphils for sure, sums up this FACT:

Recycling Coconut Shells

FAST and EASY. Lay it on the grill, give it a light and you're ready to cook in no time flat. NATURAL. Made from coconut shells, it does not contain lighter fluid, scrap wood, petroleum, mineral coal, toxic gunk or any other junk fillers. CLEAN-BURNING. After ignition, it's nothing but pure heat. No soot and virtually smokeless. Get real barbecue flavor without propane gas or petroleum aftertaste. Use it instead of firewood in your outdoor stove and you won't be calling the kettle black. ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY. Organic and biodegradable. No trees were cut down, recyclable packaging and biodegradable food-grade shrink wrap. ECONOMICAL. It takes about 8-10 lbs. of briquets to equal the cooking performance of a PureFire 8-pak. Use only what you need: 1-2 bricks for a couple of hotdogs or hamburgers, 4-8 bricks for steaks and kebobs. 4 bricks can cook about 4-6 pounds of food. BURNS HOTTER, COOKS LONGER than the leading briquet. Sear in natural juices for a more flavorful barbecue, eliminate the cost, hassle and mess of adding more briquets to the pile. [1]

Hey there:

The pictures rules are pretty easy. Just take it yourself, make sure it looks good, and then use a "Creative commons" license. If you upload the picture, I can help you with the rest :) BrickMcLargeHuge (talk) 06:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I hope my uploaded pics in Commons would stay, plus I found one pics in commons so I uploaded them:
