Briquettes are processed charcoal with high absorbency for liquid or vapor materials.
They can be made from various materials like rice husks, wood, sawdust, corn cobs, and coconut shells.
The making of briquettes from coconut shell charcoal involve pyrolysis, crushing or grinding, mixing, compacting, and drying processes. Depending on their shape, briquettes can be cube-shaped, hexagonal, or cylindrical/finger-shaped.
Coconut shell charcoal briquettes offer several advantages such as smokeless burning, high heat output, eco-friendliness, and longer burning time. They are commonly used as fuel for barbecues and also for shisha/hookah.
