 1. What is Smokeless Charcoal?

Smokeless Charcoal. This type of charcoal is often used with picnic grills or family BBQ grills, eateries, and restaurants on the market today. 

These are clean coals that are applied science and technology in production, to limit and eliminate most smoke during use.

2. Characteristics of smokeless coal

Unlike traditional charcoal, which often has a rough shape, inconsistent in size, of a tree. Smokeless charcoal can be freely shaped into blocks optimal for transport and storage.

Shaped with high compression, smokeless charcoal is heavier and denser than charcoal. Therefore, smokeless coal also burns longer, is more economical, and does not explode or splash during the burning process.

Smokeless coal uses science and technology in coal production to minimize smoke generated during the coal burning process. Unlike the type of black charcoal used from ancient times to the present, when mentioning charcoal, there is smoke when burning. Smoke produced from charcoal when burned will produce sulfur and CO gas, which are harmful to the health of the user and people around.

Smokeless charcoal helps prevent food from absorbing toxic gases, especially sulfur gas, which can affect health.

• Burning time is 1.5 times longer if comparing the same volume unit.

• The radiated temperature is higher and more even than conventional charcoal such as charcoal, honeycomb charcoal, etc.

In particular, odorlessness is an important advantage of smokeless charcoal. Smokeless coal is produced in a process with controlled carbonization of coal to remove most impurities and substances that give rise to smoke and odors. Clean, smokeless coal has extremely high carbon content, especially up to 98%. For example, binchotan white charcoal originates from Japan.

If you are a gourmet and often go to high-end Japanese or Korean barbecue restaurants, you will always feel that the taste of grilled food is delicious, has no unpleasant odors and is extremely clean.
