Description

Hardwood charcoal is a high-quality, carbon-rich fuel produced from the slow pyrolysis of dense hardwood species such as oak, mahogany, iroko, beech, or acacia. The process involves heating the wood in a low-oxygen environment, which removes moisture and volatile compounds, leaving behind nearly pure carbon.

This type of charcoal is characterized by its high calorific value, low moisture content, and long burning duration, making it ideal for both domestic and industrial applications. It burns cleanly with minimal smoke and ash, producing steady and intense heat suitable for grilling, barbecuing, metallurgical use, and various energy purposes.

Typical physical and chemical properties include:

Fixed Carbon: 70–85%
Moisture Content: < 5%
Ash Content: < 3%
Volatile Matter: 10–20%
Calorific Value: 7,000–8,500 kcal/kg

The charcoal is usually available in lump or crushed form, packed in polypropylene or kraft paper bags ranging from 5 kg to 50 kg, depending on customer specifications.

Hardwood charcoal is preferred globally for its natural origin, high efficiency, and environmental sustainability when sourced from properly managed forests.
