It's the thing that pops on my mind. To post something about charcoal making, I'm thinking about charcoal made of sawdust and dung or something like that. A friend of mine (Google) told me that this kind of fuel is called briquette (never heard that before), a compressed mass of sawdust, dried animal waste or other flammable material, often in regular shape of a pillow, brick or even in bar form of either hexagonal or square shape.


This is one kind of fuel that can be produce and supplement the usage of other fuel particularly for cooking purposes in our home. A kind of renewable energy - biomass to be specific.


Instead of posting here the step by step procedure for briquette making, I have made a list of sites that provides different making techniques. Choose which one is best suited for you.
