CHARBLOX logs glowing in fire
Hardwood & bamboo · pressed · nothing added

Charcoal,
reinvented.

Dense, uniform charcoal logs that hold temperature through a full service. One pound does the work of five, and tomorrow you light what's left.

Hardwood burns 3–4× longer than average charcoal. Bamboo 4–5×.

0 binders · chemicals · trees

Lumber-mill sawdust, pressed and carbonized. That is the recipe.

Low ash · smoke · sparks

Vents stay open all night. Less to rake out at close.

≈⅕ the cost of binchotan

Bamboo gives binchotan-style radiant heat at $3–5 per lb, not $10–15.

From the people who burn it

“I smoke whole 30 lb piglets, 13–15 lb briskets, or 7 racks of baby backs in one go. I may need to maintain 215–225 temps for upwards of 7 to 10 hours… This product does the trick.”

All stations →
Station 01 Robata · Konro

Bamboo. Radiant, near-smokeless heat in the binchotan register. Logs nest tight in a narrow box; broken pieces fine.

Dragon Fire Bamboo · 10 lb
Station 02 Yakitori

Bamboo. High, even heat across the skewers, no flare-ups from drip. Choke at close, relight tomorrow.

Dragon Fire Bamboo · 5–10 lb
Station 03 Smoker · Offset

Hardwood. Steady low-and-slow with fewer trips to the firebox; low ash keeps the airflow honest overnight.

Classic Hardwood · 20 lb
Station 04 Kamado · Josper

Hardwood. Holds a closed oven at temperature through service; one load, minimal ash in the box.

Classic Hardwood · 10–20 lb

Heat over a service

Where lump drops off, CHARBLOX is still on the plateau.

SERVICE TEMP 0H 1H 2H 3H 4H+ CHARBLOX LUMP BRIQUETTE

Representative curves, single load, no refill. Slower to reach temperature by design; the density that makes it patient is the density that holds the plateau.

Why it burns

Density is the whole idea.

Lumber-mill sawdust pressed far denser than any branch, then carbonized. The six faces nest into a tight bed; the channel through the center lets the fire breathe from inside. Few minutes longer to catch. Hours longer to leave.

“Clean, low ash and the sticks catch fire easily and yet burn for 4–5 hours. Perfect for smoking a brisket or pork shoulder… not nearly as frequently as with lump charcoal where it can burn out in way less than an hour.”

SoCalCook · Costco

“Perfect for yakitori style barbecue. It creates a slow burn, and cooks to perfect tenderness. Around 6 pieces was good for eight hungry guests.”

Glenn · Costco

“Once it's going, it lasts a LONG time… Once you are done cooking you can put the coals in an airtight container to extinguish and use again. I've been able to use the same charcoal 7×.”
