Charka Brikettes 5kg

Charka briquettes are compressed, eco-friendly charcoal blocks commonly used for grilling, cooking and heating. They are a popular choice in Kenya.

1. Ideal for grilling meat (nyama choma), sausages, and chicken, providing a steady heat that won't leave your wallet crying.

2. Used in jikos (stoves) to cook staple foods.

3. Trusted by food vendors for predictable heat output, which helps maintain food quality and reduce fuel costs.

How to use

1. Pour the briquettes into a charcoal chimney/starter. Place firelighters at the bottom, light them and set the chimney on top.

2. Allow the briquettes to burn until they are covered with a light grey, white ash. This usually takes about 25–30 minutes.

3. Once glowing red and covered in ash, pour them onto the grill and start cooking.

Because they burn evenly and don't flare up easily, they are perfect for keeping a steady temperature over a long period.

After cooking, close the vents on your grill to choke the fire. The briquettes can be reused for the next session.

Produces minimal smoke and odor compared to traditional charcoal, making them safer for health.
