This is an economical option, suitable for basic fuel needs at a lower cost. This charcoal burns steadily, though its calorific value and burn time are lower than premium charcoal, and it produces more smoke and ash. Nevertheless, it still provides a sufficiently strong flame for cooking, BBQ, or outdoor activities, making it a practical choice for families, small groups, or situations where high-quality charcoal is not required.
