    Ive worked at a charcoal factory for the last 2.5 years aside from the obvious mesothelioma risks involved 😅 briquette charcoal is charcoal formed under pressure by using the fines (dust) of regular lump charcoal

    I think it's in there to slow the rate of combustion & increase heat retention.

    I have a bigger problem with fine particles than a few pebbles. The fine particles actually fly around at the slightest agitation, and who knows what's in them.

    Is it just me or did anyone else get extremely nervous seeing charcoal lit indoors or is it just carbon mo oxide ptsd from our lovely fear mongering nanny state

    one of the reasons us smiths dont use briquets for forging is because of the additives. id been told clay. but i dunno. so there is is! crusher fines…they basically start with powdered charcoal and add binders and accelerants to form them lil' molded bricks… do they have hardwood lump charcoal like "king" or "cowboy" brand where your at? thats the straight up good stuff…although ive found the occasional rock. i shit you not lol.

    Alton Brown always said to use Lump instead of Briquettes, because they are full of sand. Next time you're at the store, pick up a bag of lump charcoal. It's shockingly lightweight. Then pick up a back of Kingsford. It's extremely heavy, kinda like a sandbag

    I found a (practically a Boulder) rock in my hardwood charcoal the other day. Thing weighed 3 lbs. But they put dirt and sand and everything else in those brickets because they save money. 1 bag ain’t shit, but millions (AND MILLIONS) of bags adds up real quick.

    Making your own is a bit time consuming but probably worth it.

    you can buy lump charcoal.

    I would very much appreciate a follow up to this with different options and the amount of filler put in it. Maybe with some straight wood options

    Coal is washed. Usually in a bath of acid. Rocks and other debis sinks to the bottom and only coal floats off to be rinsed crushed and often times get another bath in acid. Have heard pulverized anthracite coal coal is used in briquettes, but thats doubtful as there is no sulphury smell and ash from anthracite as well as bituminous coal is pretty caustic or acidic and eats metal up pretty quick when humidity is intoduced such as when ashes are left in device when not used.

    before I start watching ,who the hell is using briquette, it is logical that this is a pile of shit, coal waste, sand, some turpentine and other nonsense🤢🤮
