Introduction

Charcoal briquettes for shisha are classified as renewable energy made from agricultural waste, generally coconut shells and wood. Charcoal briquettes made from coconut shells can not only produce heat consistently but also do not produce smoke and odor as long as the charcoal briquettes are used. Even briquettes from coconut shells are known to add flavor to your shisha smoke. Not only that, there are still many significant advantages between the two raw materials. That is why charcoal briquettes made from coconut shells are the good quality shisha coals.

Below we will explain how to know the quality of shisha charcoal. These characteristics can be seen from the physical and you can test it yourself at home. But we must first know the basic parts of shisha coals quality

Basic elements of shisha coals quality

  • Moisture Content
  • Ash Content
  • Volatile Matter
  • Fix Carbon

Moisture content : is a very important factor in various fields. Knowing the moisture content is key to ensuring the quality and usefulness of the materials used. Shisha coals that have good moisture content will be easier to light. Shisha coals that have quality moisture content are between 5 – 6%

Ash content : the ash content in the material or the percentage of residue left after the coals are burned at a certain temperature. Ash content indicates the quality of the coals and their impact on the environment. High ash content can cause a decrease in calorific value, and air pollution. Therefore, ash content analysis is very important to do before using coals to accompany your shisha session.

Volatile matter : or flying substances are organic parts of coals that evaporate when heated at a certain temperature. The higher the rank of a coal, the lower the volatile matter content. Volatile matter consists of flammable gases such as methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), and non-flammable substances such as water vapor (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2)

Fixed carbon : is the fraction of carbon contained in coals that cannot evaporate or burn during the combustion process. This is different from oxidized carbon (volatile carbon) which can evaporate and produce gas emissions when burned.

Supporting elements for the quality of shisha charcoal

  • Ash Color
  • Burning Time
  • Drop test
  • Total Ignition Time

The above parts are the supporting elements of good quality shisha coals. You can test these supporting elements yourself at home in the following way:

Ash Color: is the ash color produced from the remaining burning of coals. Generally, good quality shisha coals have a white/light grey color. The white ash color is preferred by shisha users around the world.

Burning Time: is the duration of burning produced from coals. The duration includes starting after the charcoal is lit, until the charcoal is almost completely dead. Burning Time is also influenced by the size of the shisha coals, shisha coals with a size of 25mm have a burning time of 2 to 3 hours

Drop test: is the strength of the coals structure from impacts and falls. Coals that have a low drop test, are easily cracked, broken are not liked by shisha users. Generally, coals that have good drop test quality have the characteristics of not breaking when dropped from a height of 1.5 m to the floor 3 times.

Total Ignition Time: the time required from when the coals are placed until the charcoal is completely lit. Generally, good quality coals have a total ignition time of 10 minutes. More than that means the charcoal still has a high Moisture content.
