Would you like to cook with free charcoal for the rest of your life?

Simple. Grow a few trees, trim the branches and make some for yourself or your businesses without ever having to cut down a whole tree.


Check out our improved charcoal making kilns starting at 6,500ksh https://cookswell.co.ke/product-category/kilns/ (inc. a free packet of tree seeds as well!)


Smoking chips in stock!

Cut into an easy to use chunk format, these sticks are made from seasonal prunings from Kenyan trees grown without the use of harmful chemicals. 4 to 5 pieces will smoke for about an hour, and there is no need to soak prior to using. 

How to use: Place a small handful of #Cookswell Smoking Wood in the removeable tray that catches the ashes below the liner. When hot coals fall through the holes, they will slowly smolder the wood to produce high-quality smoke for meats, veggies and more! 

Alternatively and for more smoke production, place a few sticks directly onto the coals in the oven, and cover with a bit of ash. Remember to keep your oven clean if you also plan to use it for baking. The smoke buildup from each use will impart a smoky flavor to the other dishes that you prepare. 

Each bag is approximately 500gms in weight. https://cookswell.co.ke/product/wood-chips/

SME exhibitors at Meat Expo rave about GIZ booth

 “GIZ gave us a spot at their booth and we are happy and honoured we got the opportunity to demonstrate that charcoal cannot only be used cleanly and efficiently but it can also be made sustainably,” says Teddy, adding: “We were busy from the first day.”

People thronged the Cookswell Jiko’s stand to see the Jikos used to grill meat into what is famously known as nyama choma, a favourite of many Kenyans.
