    Haven't really wanted to get into this..... Whatever the name of them
    is - "Pa-Na", I guess - they are pressed hardwood blocks or something
    like that. I've had mine for about two years now (before 1 charcoal
    block = 6 months at best, using fragments in the end) It is unwrapped
    and unaltered, and it's still going strong. I use it many times every
    day. Of course, the top and bottom could use leveling and cleaning,
    which I haven't even done in those two years, either. They're not
    very much more money, but they ARE very much more tool.
