Cookswell Jikos is a family owned Kenyan business.
Cookswell advocates for the sustainable production, management and utilization of wood fuels as one of the many renewable energy resources for East Africa’s cooking needs.
We proudly include a free packet of seedballs with every product purchased to further the goal of helping people make charcoal a sustainable energy source. Sprouted in 2017, Seedballs Kenya was formed by Cookswell Director Teddy Kinyanjui in Partnership with Elsen Karstad of Chardust Ltd. Seedballs are an innovative way to effectively distribute indigenous trees in large quantities throughout Kenya. A seedball is a tree or grass seed coated in a protective charcoal coating, keeping the seed safe until it’s time to germinate.

To add to our renewable biomass energy forestry programs we have established The Woodlands 2000 Trust with support from the Tamarind Kenya Group to promote dryland commercial agroforestry tree growing around Kenya and East Africa for greater woodfuel security. We also make innovative and simple to use portable, mobile kilns to make your own free charcoal at home from tree branches and twigs or maize cobs, coconut husks and other woody biomass to reduce the demand on traditional charcoal sources.
