Lump charcoal vs briquettes
Natural lump charcoal is charred hardwood pieces, valued for fast lighting and natural composition. Briquettes are compressed from charcoal fines or biomass and offer uniform shape and longer, steadier burning.
RUF and Pini Kay
RUF briquettes are rectangular blocks pressed from dry sawdust for heating. Pini Kay briquettes are octagonal with a central hole, giving strong, consistent heat output. Both are specified by ash content, moisture and calorific value.
Specifications to check
Key parameters are fixed carbon content, ash, moisture, volatile matter, calorific value and, for barbecue use, absence of chemical additives. Instant-light briquettes are a separate category with ignition coating.
What to include in your RFQ
State the product type, specification targets, packing (bags of 3, 5 or 10 kg, or bulk big bags), quantity in containers, destination, Incoterm and any certification your market requires.
