Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
When it comes to selecting high-quality shisha briquette charcoal, one of the most important factors to consider is ash content. Although often overlooked, ash content significantly affects the user experience, cleanliness, and burning performance of charcoal. In this article, we’ll explain what ash content is, why it matters, and how it impacts the quality of your shisha session.
What Is Ash Content?
Ash content refers to the non-combustible residue left behind after charcoal is burned. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the charcoal. For example, if 100 grams of charcoal produces 3 grams of ash, its ash content is 3%.
Why Low Ash Content Is Important
For shisha or hookah users, low ash content offers several advantages:
- Cleaner Sessions
Charcoal with low ash content produces less mess in the bowl and tray, making for a more enjoyable and hygienic experience. - Better Airflow
Excessive ash can block airflow and affect the flavor or heat consistency during the session. - Longer Burn Time
Charcoal that burns more efficiently leaves less ash behind, allowing for longer and more stable heat output. - Professional Preference
Premium lounges and distributors prefer low-ash charcoal for consistent quality and customer satisfaction.
Standard Ash Content for Shisha Charcoal
For export-quality briquette charcoal, especially for shisha use, the following ash content grades are commonly accepted:
| Grade | Ash Content (%) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | ≤ 2.5% | Premium – Very clean and pure |
| B | 2.5% – 3.5% | High quality – Recommended use |
| C | 3.5% – 5% | Medium – Budget markets |
| D | > 5% | Low quality – Not recommended |
What Influences Ash Content?
Ash content is influenced by:
- Raw materials (coconut shell vs. mixed biomass)
- Carbonization process
- Additives and binders used during briquette production
High-quality coconut shell charcoal, for instance, typically has lower ash compared to wood-based or mixed materials.
