Manufactured charcoal briquette using Diatomaceous Earth, Organic Fibers, and Aromatic and Non-Aromatic Woods.

Abstract

A charcoal briquette which contains about 1% to 16% long porous organic fibers and 1% to 8% diatomaceous earth additives to create a charcoal briquette that is capable of being extruded at lower pressures and contains air pockets to aid in oxidation.

1 . A charcoal briquette consisting of a mass of combustible wood particles, wax, and porous flammable organic fibers, and porous non-organic material to aid in oxygenation during the burn. 
     
     
         2 . The charcoal briquette of  claim 1 , wherein has organic fibers and proprietary organic material to facilitate greater adhesion of the materials to itself so less pressure is needed to produce the extruded product. This results in less compaction, and thus a more flammable product. 
     
     
         3 . The charcoal briquette of  claim 1 , wherein the mass of the unit is lessened because of the substitution of porous flammable fibers and fillers that increase oxidation but reduce shipping weight of product as well as increasing its ability to be lightable with one match without the use of organic solvents that contain volatile organic compounds. Instead, aromatic and non-aromatic wood shavings are added.
