Charcoal is a
lightweight black carbon residue produced by strongly heating wood
(or other animal and plant materials) in minimal oxygen to remove
all water and volatile constituents.
The most important physical
characteristics of charcoal are highly porosity, low density, bad
heat and electricity conductivity etc.Charcoal is
made from wood that has been heated in the
absence of oxygen. This
process drives off the water and other volatile compounds, leaving
a lightweight, porous material with high carbon content. When
burned, charcoal produces little to no smoke and can reach
incredibly high temperatures, ideal for grilling.
