What kinds of Bamboo Sawdust charcoal are there?

Bamboo Sawdust charcoal is generally divided into three kinds: high-temperature, medium-temperature, and low-temperature. This classification is based on the temperature differences during the carbonization process. The quality of charcoal produced at different refining temperatures is vastly different

1. High-Temperature Bamboo Sawdust Charcoal

High-Temperature Bamboo Sawdust Charcoal is typically refined at temperatures above 800°C. It has smokeless, odorless, high calorific value, stable and long-lasting combustion & no flammable oil dripping. It is currently the most popular commercial barbecue charcoal in the barbecue industry.

However, this type of charcoal places extremely high demands on the manufacturer's equipment, charcoal-making process, and the skill of the charcoal-making technicians. Due to the varying performance of equipment and the skill of the charcoal-making technicians across factories, product quality varies significantly, leading to price differentiation. Lower-quality high-temperature bamboo sawdust charcoal can be 70USD-120 USD/ton cheaper than mid-quality charcoal, and the price difference with the highest-quality product can even reach as much as 350 USD yuan/ton.

2. Medium-temperature Bamboo Sawdust charcoal

Medium-temperature Bamboo Sawdust charcoal is more of a "transitional product," with a wide range of quality—lower and higher temperatures produce very different results. Its maximum carbonization temperature is typically around 600-750°C. While this may seem similar with high-temperature charcoal (800°C+), the requirements for equipment and craftsmanship are significantly different.

It's like taking an exam: improving from 60 to 80 is relatively easy, but improving from 90 to 98 requires exponentially more effort for each additional point.

3. Low-Temperature Bamboo Sawdust Charcoal

The production process for low-temperature bamboo Sawdust charcoal is relatively simple, but it has significant drawbacks: short burning time, low heat output, and a tendency to smoke easily, which can also cause burns when grilling. Currently, this kind of charcoal is facing market saturation, with a severe oversupply.
