Namibian hardwood charcoal

The company is an exporter of Namibian hardwood charcoal based in Walvis Bay, Namibia. Made from invader bush; Namibian hardwood acacia species that produces some of the highest quality charcoal with a fixed carbon content between 75% and 82% and Moisture Content (MC) of less than 3%. Our products are tested regularly as per requirements and as such quality is ensured continuously. The dense, long burning charcoal with intense heat is a result of the slow growth in a dry climate and is a desirable fuel because it produces a hot, long-lasting, virtually smokeless fire. It is produced through a carbonation process in metal drums, or kilns on farms where the wood is harvested. This process drives out moisture and volatile gases that are present in the original fuel. The resulting charred material not only burns longer and more steadily than whole wood, but it is much lighter (one-fifth to one-third of its original weight).
