Wood charcoal is a lightweight, black, porous material produced by heating wood in a low-oxygen environment through a process called pyrolysis. This process removes water and volatile compounds, resulting in a carbon-rich substance. Known for its high energy content, wood charcoal is widely used as a fuel for grilling, barbecuing, and cooking, offering a distinct smoky flavor to food. It burns hotter and cleaner than traditional wood, producing minimal smoke and ash. In addition to culinary applications, wood charcoal is utilized in various industries, including metallurgy, as a filtration medium in activated carbon, and for art supplies like charcoal sticks. Its eco-friendly properties and renewable nature make wood charcoal a popular choice for both domestic and commercial use.
