Why do buyers specify coconut shell charcoal rather than wood?
Pressed shell charcoal reaches 80% fixed carbon with white ash at 1.9%, where mixed wood briquettes typically sit around 60% carbon with grey ash above 5%. That gap shows up as longer sessions, cleaner bowls and grates, and no sparking. Shell is also a waste stream from food processing, so the product carries no deforestation exposure and needs no timber legality paperwork at import.
