Make BBQ Cooking with Charcoal Briquettes

BBQ food is the favorite for most young people, because it is tasty and with lots
of fun. Then do you know how to start making your own BBQ cooking? Well, first of all, the fuel is necessary, nowadays we recommend a new kind of clean and renewable fuel — charcoal briquettes.

Then after all the preparations ready, you can enjoy your barbecue journey by charcoal briquettes. Remember that always store your charcoal away from moisture and store in a dry place. Fire can't survive without oxygen, so make sure the vents on your grill are open and you are in an open area. Take some newspaper and crumble it into a loose ball. Place it on the bottom grate of your grill. Make a small pyramid over the paper with the briquettes. Light the paper and let the briquettes burn for a while. When the flames start to die down, add more briquettes until you have enough for whatever you're cooking.

If you are BBQ lovers and are looking forward to making your own delicious barbecue food, charcoal briquettes is a best choice.

Introduction to Charcoal Carbonizing Process

Carbonization is a very important process for making charcoal briquettes. The whole charcoal carbonizing process can be divided into the following three stages:

Carbonization Furnace

1. Briquettes Drying Stage. From the ignition until the temperature reach 160℃, the biomass sticks moisture evaporates steadily mainly depends on the heating resource and independent burning value. There is no chemical changes in this stage
2. Initial Carbonization Stage. This process mainly depends on the briquettes burning to produce heat and makes the temperature rise to 160～280℃. The biomass briquettes start to have thermal deposition. For example, the hemicellulose decompose into CO2, CO and amount of acetic acid.
3. Comprehensive Carbonizing Stage(temperature 300～650℃). In this stage, the biomass material undertake chemical decomposition radically. It produces much acetic acid, carbinol and woo tar as well as combustible gas including methane and ethylene. These gas contributes to making a high temperature and the biomass briquettes are distilled into charcoal.

If you want to make pyrocarbon, the furnace temperature should reach 800℃～1000℃.
