With its various benefits, charcoal briquettes made from sawdust are considered one of the most popular grilling charcoal. What’s more, sawdust charcoal is always in high demand for export, showing its huge economic potential. If you are nurturing a business idea with this quality BBQ charcoal, it is important to fully understand the factors deciding how sawdust briquette charcoal will turn out.

Materials to make quality sawdust charcoal briquettes

It goes without saying that materials play an important role in deciding the performance of the final product. Each type of wood, for example, softwood or hardwood, will directly affect how long sawdust charcoal will burn, how much ash and smoke it produces, etc. On top of that, the number of additives and binders mixed with sawdust also affects the product quality.

The raw material

To prepare the sawdust mixture, charcoal manufacturers can choose between crushed softwood and hardwood. Their choice of wood type will decide the performance of the final charcoal products. Normally, hardwood sawdust can contribute to charcoal with better features, for example, the burning hours, consistent heat, temperature, etc.

Additives and binders

Another important ingredient in forming and shaping sawdust charcoal is binders. By mixing additives with sawdust at an appropriate ratio, we can ensure the charcoal’s density and the ability to ignite fast and conveniently.

The uniformity and the shape and size of sawdust charcoal briquettes

While often overlooked, the shape and size of sawdust charcoal also contribute to its performance as well as storage efficiency.

The shape

Sawdust charcoal briquettes are often provided in hexagonal or square shapes. However, PNP Charcoal suggests customers choose sawdust charcoal in the hexagonal shape since this shape helps charcoal distribute the heat much more evenly and cook more efficiently. Plus, another advantage of hexagonal sawdust charcoal is that it can save a lot of storage!

The size

Along with the charcoal shape, the uniformity in size and shape, as well as the suitable size, can impact how evenly they burn. Charcoal that is consistently sized and shaped tends to provide a more controlled and predictable grilling experience.

The production process of sawdust charcoal briquettes

To produce high-quality sawdust charcoal briquettes, manufacturers need to pay close attention to their production process. If there are problems in any step, not only does it happen in that step but also affects the latter steps of the process, leading to a batch of sawdust charcoal unable to meet the standards.

Drying

To sawdust charcoal, the suitable moisture content can protect its ability to burn strong and consistently. While excessively high moisture levels can lead to molds, the lack of moisture makes it difficult to mix with binders. Therefore, we need to conduct this step carefully so that our charcoal has enough moisture content and burns more consistently.

Shaping

One feature that keeps sawdust charcoal briquettes burning for up to 6 hours is its high level of density. Dense sawdust charcoal is attributable to the strict shaping step, where the mixture of sawdust and additives is pressed extremely hard by our briquette-making machine. Therefore, whenever customers visit a sawdust charcoal factory, pay attention to the process, especially the shaping and carbonizing process!

Carbonizing

The process of carbonizing wood into charcoal plays a significant role in its quality. Factors such as temperature, duration, and oxygen control during the carbonization process can affect the resulting charcoal’s density, heat output, and burning consistency.

However, different manufacturers may apply different carbonization techniques, therefore, it is important to find a credible manufacturer with years of experience in producing high-quality sawdust charcoal like PNP Charcoal! With our proven charcoal quality through our export orders to UAE, Australia, Korea, Japan… PNP will be able to provide you with premium sawdust charcoal briquettes, meeting even your strictest requirements!

How sawdust charcoal briquettes are packed and stored

Even the best batch of sawdust charcoal briquettes can’t maintain their excellent quality if they are not stored carefully. If customers are looking for sawdust charcoal suppliers, we recommend you pay a visit to their warehouse and witness their storage area. Sawdust briquette charcoal should be stored in a dry area that avoids direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and flooding.

Besides the material and the production process, it is also important to pay attention to the packaging quality, since this package needs to be able to protect charcoal products’ quality until it reaches the export countries.
