Fruit charcoal
Fruit charcoal is log charcoal, that is, the barbecue fuel processed by burning, distillation and other processes after the log is cut down. There are many types of fruit charcoal on the market, such as apple wood, lychee wood, etc. Charcoal is relatively easy to ignite, and it will emit a smell of firewood when grilling.
Fruit charcoal also has disadvantages, that is, the burning time is not long enough. After all, it is made of raw charcoal, and it is not as compact as machine-made charcoal.
1. Ignition time: One piece can be ignited in 1 minute, and then let it burn by itself. After 10 minutes, it can basically be burned.
2. Burning time: It takes about 1 hour to burn all at once. The burning time is indeed short, but adding more charcoal once will not affect the barbecue.
3. Features: There is basically no smoke when grilling fruit charcoal, and the heat is no different from ordinary machine-made charcoal. There is no smell of other igniters, and all grilled food is guaranteed to be original.
Machine-made charcoal
Common machine-made charcoal comes in two shapes: long strips and balls. Long strips are easier to ignite than balls.
The most important thing to solve with machine-made charcoal is the ignition problem. Auxiliary igniters must be used. In an emergency, pouring cooking oil on the machine-made charcoal to ignite it is also a method, but there will be flames. You have to wait until the fire is extinguished before you can barbecue.
Auxiliary items for charcoal ignition include flamethrowers, ignition wax, alcohol blocks, and wax wood strips.
Mechanical charcoal can generally burn for 4-6 hours. There are two types of long strips: hexagonal and square, and the functions are the same.
Summary of barbecue charcoal matching:
1. Machine-made charcoal (spherical/strip) + wax wood strips + matches
2. Machine-made charcoal (strip) + alcohol block/ignition wax + flamethrower
3. Fruit charcoal + matches
