Both items always in stock here in Sosua so it must be even more available in Santiago. I'm sure you'll have no problems finding it.

Go to the campo --- always available....

I have 5-6 big sacks.

500 or less per large bag.... is what I pay
I have a Haitian who does it for me...

Bulk/commercial production is against the law....
a local producer is what you want

My Weber is charcoal with a propane kick to start...
Best of both worlds

Charcoal is the better way...
local charcoal has no additives and burns well.
depending on the wood type, the fire / coal life varies as does the heat.

I cook 'down & dirty'... off the top grill and closer to the fire itself.
Read Ms Kaufman's friend Adam Perry Lang for more info.... champion BBq'er

Careful with the fire starters.... chemical city there
look for a chimney starter - fast 'n easy

I still use propane grills in a pinch.... rain or fast turnaround needed

Charcoal is the way to go - Way To Go

hahaha

Start the fire with plastic cups (I know, I know) or you can buy trementina in old brugal bottles at the colmado. We use charcoal (carbon) sometimes RD$150 for a big sack or we collect leña from the woods. I prefer the wood as it is easy to control the fire by pushing it in for more heat or out for less. And the flavor it gives to the food is great.

I've seen it in pretty much every store in every city I have visited here. It easy to get.

Plastic Cups and Flavor???
you def have to over think your strategy.
to fire up the great burning local carbon, just use a few napkins, it starts up well.

I have so many bags....
always helping out the locals by buying a bag or two...

My grill has a propane starter attachment
The chimney is for the standard grill - as a starter.
Really easy to make & use.... old newspapers.
