Charcoal

So I finally bought a new grill today. It's already assembled and there are no "extra" parts. I like to use natural lump charcoal instead of briquettes. Soriana didn't have any and I don't belong to Sam's. Any suggestions where I can find some? It's got to be around as many pollo asada grills use it.

TIA

PS. Would like some mesquite chunks too!

Lump is sold in several stands and stores between the central mercado and the campesino mercado. Ask around for "carbon" if you don't see it. I have not found wood chunks of any kind for smoking, anywhere. Although Soriana did have apple wood chips a week ago, near the entrance (but not back by the grills and accessories).

I'm not familiar with the campesino mercado. Do you mean Los Cocos?

Los Cocos leads near there. The places I have bought lump are on los mangos. This is the campesino mercado: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BXDpYpRpyLhV2AJf6
