Today we still make our charcoal like our Mayan ancestors thousands of years ago. This is the secret why it burns longer, hotter and cleaner than other charcoal.
At temperatures of around a 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, your steak gets seared, sealing the delicious juices inside and caramelizing the crust. This is why only Kebroak gives your food a real BBQ flavor!


Our Mayan Ancestors

History of the Mayas


Long before the Spaniards discovered or conquered the Old World of Central America there was already a large, local empire thriving in its midst - the world of the Maya. The Mayan empire was thriving between 250 and 900 A.D. but its origins go back much farther reaching as far back as 2600 B.C.! The Mayan empire was a complex culture, and despite the discoveries that are made almost daily, it is still surrounded by a great deal of mystery.


Mayan civilization is one of the greatest in the world. The earliest phase of Maya civilization began around 3000 BCE, a time when ancient societies were emerging in Egypt, China, India, Mesopotamia, and Assyria. Large, complex Maya sites have been dated to 500-200 BCE. The ancient Maya were living in magnificent cities of stone with soaring pyramids and wide plazas decorated with intricate carvings as the Roman Empire was fading. The Mayas developed the most accurate calendars known, mastered astrology and mathematics, and produced exquisite art on ceramics and murals. And one of the most important things, they left us the legacy of the fire experience.

Fire, the key element

The Mayan ceremonies are an essential element of their cultural identity. The ceremonies are a sacred activities through which an individual may approach and communicate with the universe.

In every ceremony, the key element is the Mayan Fire. This fire comes from burning charcoal and incense, making flames with a deep color, volume, direction and a long duration. The people from the older generation would then interpret the flames, seeking for the meaning of their past, present and future.

The fire was used in many occasions, such as inauguration and celebration of important events, as a gratitude offering for work and wisdom, amongst other reasons.

Now, you can use this fire to unleash a true Mayan experience on your grill. Enjoy!
