What is mahogany wood charcoal?

- Mahogany charcoal is a type of biochar made from mahogany trees — a large, commonly planted wood species in Vietnam. After harvesting or pruning, the wood is dried and carbonized under limited oxygen to form charcoal.

- The resulting charcoal is evenly black, solid, easy to transport, resistant to breaking, and has high usability.

Basic characteristics of mahogany charcoal:

- Size: Long sticks or logs, 10 – 30 cm

- Moisture content: < 8%

- Ash content: < 4%

- Calorific value: 6,500 – 7,000 Kcal/kg

What is the efficiency of mahogany charcoal?

- Mahogany charcoal has stable burning efficiency, retains heat well, and maintains a steady flame over time, making it suitable for long cooking or continuous grilling.

- Compared to regular charcoal, mahogany charcoal produces less smoke, doesn’t spark, is safer to use, and helps save fuel costs significantly.

Applications in agricultural production:

- The ash from mahogany charcoal can be used to improve soil texture, as organic fertilizer, and to enhance moisture retention in agricultural land.

- Additionally, crushed charcoal can be mixed with manure to produce high-quality compost.

Use for domestic heating:

- Mahogany charcoal is ideal for use in charcoal stoves, BBQ grills, or home fireplaces thanks to its long burn time, low smoke, neutral smell, and health safety.

- It is a trusted choice for households and restaurants in cooking scenarios requiring consistent heat.

Applications in industry:

- Mahogany charcoal is also used in light industries such as food processing, drying kilns, biomass boilers, or as a blend material for compressed charcoal production for export.

Some examples of industries using Eucalyptus charcoal:

• Coffee and fruit drying factories
• Food facilities requiring steady heat
• Factories producing compressed BBQ charcoal sticks
