2. High caloric value : Fixed carbon content of machine-made charcoal is about 80%, calorific value 7500-8000 kcal/kg, while traditional charcoal fixed carbon content is low, calorific value is about 6500 kcal/kg.
3. Clean : smokeless, burning without sparks, the residual ash naturally falls during the burning, does not float up, charcoal with 3% or 6% ash. After burning, less ash, and easy to ignite.
