Coconut BBQ charcoal

Grilling briquettes of coconut shell in flat and hexagonal formats, plus natural shell lump, bagged for retail chains and food-service distributors.

A buyer sourcing BBQ charcoal in bulk wants a briquette that lights in a chimney, holds a cooking temperature for the whole cook, and leaves little ash behind, with none of the coal dust and borax found in cheap wood briquettes. Our grilling lines press cleaned coconut shell with food-grade tapioca binder and nothing more, to 80% fixed carbon, 5% moisture, and white ash at 1.9% maximum.

Flat blocks, hex tiles, or natural lump?

Flat blocks (F40 and F50) fill a chimney starter evenly and are the retail pick for 3 kg and 5 kg bags. Wide 60 mm hexagons (B10 and B15) tile into a gap-free bed without hot spots and keep a restaurant grill going for up to 3.5 hours on one lighting. Natural shell lump lights fastest and peaks hottest at a lower price per ton, though the pieces range from 20 to 80 mm. Supermarket programmes take blocks; restaurants with open grills often run hex and lump side by side.

Are coconut briquettes better than wood briquettes for grilling?

On the figures a cook cares about, yes. Pressed coconut shell reaches 80% fixed carbon where mixed wood briquettes typically sit around 60%, so each bag delivers more cooking time and less ash to clear. With no resin pockets in the shell, the briquettes glow rather than spark, and they relight when a session pauses. Shell is also a byproduct of copra production, which supports a no-deforestation claim that wood charcoal cannot make.

What packaging do you supply for retail and food service?

Retail programmes take 3 kg and 5 kg bags printed to your artwork, palletized and shrink-wrapped for supermarket and cash-and-carry distribution. Food-service distributors take 10 kg and 20 kg bags, plain or printed, each sized for a full service. Trial containers ship in neutral bags, and a single container can carry retail and food-service sizes together under one label.

How are spark, smoke, and self-heating tested?

The shell is cleaned before carbonization and the binder is tapioca, so there is no coal dust, borax, or accelerant to test for. Before bagging, every batch is grill-tested for sparking, flame, and off-odour, and the container certificate of analysis quotes the batches loaded. Each booking travels with the MSDS and the non-self-heating test report carriers require for charcoal stowage under IMDG Class 4.2, so nothing gets refused at the port.

How do I buy BBQ charcoal in bulk from Indonesia?

A quote request needs the format, the bag sizes, the volume, and the destination port, and we reply within 24 hours. The minimum order is one 20 ft container at about 18 t, or a 40 ft at about 26 t, and mixed containers are welcome for range trials. Samples up to 1 kg are free, with freight on your account. Lead time to loading is 1 to 4 weeks, so reserve production slots before your grilling season rather than at the start of it.

Product FAQ

Ordering, testing, and shipping for this line.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One 20 ft container, loaded to about 18 t. A 40 ft holds about 26 t, and larger quantities earn a discount. We do not ship LCL or pallet lots, although a mixed-product container is fine for a trial.

Can I get samples before ordering?

Yes. Samples up to 1 kg are free, with the shipping on your account. Larger samples are charged at a minimum price. Ship collect on your own DHL or FedEx account, or ask us for a quote from our preferred courier.

What is the production lead time?

Typically 1 to 4 weeks from order confirmation to loading, depending on the quantity and the orders already in production. Peak season slots in Q3 and Q4 should be booked in advance.

What payment terms do you accept?

A 30% deposit on order and 70% against the shipping documents. On programme contracts we accept an irrevocable LC at sight. First orders are not shipped on open account.

How do I know the spec is genuine?

Each batch is tested in our own lab, and the container CoA quotes the batches that were loaded. On request we book SGS, Sucofindo, or Carsurin for pre-shipment inspection and factory audit at cost, and the MSDS and self-heating test report are issued before the vessel sails.

What packaging options exist?

Shisha lines go in 500 g, 1 kg, and 3 kg inner boxes packed into master cartons. BBQ lines go in 3 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, and 20 kg bags. Lump and fines go in PP bags, kraft bags, and 1 t jumbo bags. Above the design minimums, any product can carry your branding.

Do you produce under private label?

Yes. Any product in the catalogue can carry your branding: your artwork on inner boxes, bags, and master cartons, printed to your dieline once proofs are approved. Mixed containers under one label are a routine way to launch a range.

Which Incoterms and ports do you work with?

FOB Jakarta (Tanjung Priok) or Semarang as standard, CIF or CFR to the major ports on request, and EXW for buyers running their own forwarders. The MSDS and the non-self-heating test report carriers require under IMDG Class 4.2 come with every booking.
