@ LiquidOcelot - He is in Indonesia.

@bangjul16 - Any fruit wood will work to add smoke flavors to your food. W  I don't know about coconut shells.  One place here in California is manufacturing coconut shell briquettes.  Don't know if it imparts any smoke flavor.  Here is a quote from someone on the BBQ guys Forum about using wood from Indonesia for smoking.

"The problem is the climate does not really allow for apple / walnut / cherry trees. (Well, there is an Australian cherry and a local variant that is better in hot climates.). And hickory variants I've only seen in China & Vietnam."

"The best and most available wood is from the Jackfruit tree (Nangka). Dried coconut shells are not bad either (but take months to dry)."
