What are charcoal briquettes?
Briquettes are made from charcoal powder with a binder, pressed into uniform shapes and dried. The uniform shape gives even burning and more efficient packing.
Advantages over lump charcoal
Steadier heat for longer, fewer fines in the bag, and easy retail packing. On the other hand, it takes a little longer to light.
Cubes for shisha
Shisha cubes are precisely sized pressed charcoal, favoured by cafés that want a predictable burn per bowl.
Packing and shipping
Briquettes need moisture protection; lined bags or cartons with an inner layer are typical.
