Bamboo Charcoal >3.8×3.8cm: How to Spot Medium-Low Temp Charcoal

For large-section bamboo charcoal briquettes over 3.8×3.8 cm, buyers should watch out for medium-low temperature carbon.

Medium-low temperature charcoal has lower fixed carbon, unstable heat value and high volatile content. It sparks easily, produces messy ash, ruins shisha flavour, and raises self-heating risk during sea shipment, triggering customs inspection.

Quick check: high-temperature charcoal has a dense cross-section and crisp sound when tapped. Medium-low temperature charcoal feels lighter and porous. Always ask for lab reports focusing on fixed carbon, volatile matter and moisture.

Tip: Never judge large-size briquettes only by price. Request third-party test before bulk order.
