What affects the price of charcoal?
When comparing charcoal price offers, it's important to know what's behind the final cost
Wood type
Beech and hornbeam burn longer and more evenly. Oak provides high temperature and stable heat. Softwood is cheaper but burns faster.
Moisture and processing
Well-dried charcoal lights easier, doesn't smoke excessively, and provides more heat. Cheap charcoal often contains moisture.
Piece size
Large pieces burn longer. Small ones burn quickly. This directly affects the real price you pay in practice.
Quantity and packaging
The larger quantity you buy, the lower the price per kg. and the more cost-effective the investment.
Cheap vs quality charcoal
Why cheap charcoal costs more?
Many people look for cheap charcoal, but this often leads to:
- · Fast burning
- · Unstable temperature
- · More smoke
- · Worse food taste
Look for balance between good price per kg., hardwood, large pieces and minimal ash.
In the end you use more quantity and pay more.
