Coconut shell briquettes have become the preferred charcoal for hookah enthusiasts and lounges worldwide. Here’s why they stand out compared to traditional charcoal types:
Long, Consistent Burn
Coconut briquettes burn hot and steady for up to 60–90 minutes, providing a consistent temperature that’s perfect for long shisha sessions without frequent replacement.
Low Smoke and Odor
Unlike quick-light or wood-based charcoals, coconut briquettes don’t release strong odors or smoke, preserving the pure flavor of the shisha tobacco.
Eco-Friendly
They’re made from waste coconut shells—a renewable and sustainable byproduct of the coconut industry—making them an environmentally conscious option.
Low Ash Production
Coconut briquettes produce very little ash (around 2–3%), which means less mess, easier cleanup, and better airflow during use.
No Chemicals
Quality coconut briquettes are 100% natural, using only coconut shell charcoal and a food-grade binder (like tapioca starch). This makes them safe to inhale and better for health compared to chemically treated alternatives.
