Why is Cinnamon wood the key ingredient in our products, you might wonder? During a visit to a remote village in Sri Lanka, I discovered its unique flavor. I met a sweet old lady who was cooking with Cinnamon wood, and she explained that this traditional technique for enhancing flavor had been passed down through generations.
This discovery made me imagine our ancient ancestors using this flavorful wood as well, inspiring me to create our brand mascots, Tana and Tyson, champion Pitmasters who embody the ancient art of grilling with Cinnamon wood.
Today, CINNAGRILL® proudly offers our unique products to barbecue enthusiasts worldwide. Our Cinnamon Hardwood Premium Charcoal Briquets are patented in the United States of America and Sri Lanka, with patents pending on our pellets and fire starters too. Crafted by our team of experts with passion and precision, these products are designed for barbecue aficionados to relish wholesome, flavorful cuisine while also upholding environmental responsibility.

HOW WE DO IT
Our eco-friendly production methods combine artisanal techniques with modern technology. We source our primary ingredient, the Cinnamon tree bark, as a byproduct of Cinnamon spice production, ensuring a renewable and sustainable, forest-friendly fuel source.
Our advanced equipment and specialized processes allow us to reuse emissions from the wood carbonization process to generate the thermal energy required for production, thereby eliminating fumes that would otherwise pollute the environment.
This process results in high-quality Cinnamon hardwood lump charcoal, known for its enhanced flavor, high heat, clean burn, increased carbon purity, and low ash content. The same Cinnamon hardwood is used to produce our pellets and fire starters, ensuring a consistent, sustainable approach across our product line.
By sourcing our raw materials from Sri Lanka’s rural farming communities, we provide a dependable income source for local farmers. Our involvement goes beyond economics – we create valuable job opportunities and share technical expertise, helping locals develop new skills. It’s an honor to contribute to such a positive and transformative impact on these communities.
