The briquettes lab's results are as follows: According to SABS and ISO standards the following was obtained. %H2O - 4.8 %Ash - 28.3 %Volatile - 20.2 %F/Carbon - 46.7 MJ/kg Cal. value - 20.6 %T Sulphur - 0.82 And the ultimates ASTM D 5373 results: %Carbon - 54.2 %Hydrogen - 3.31 %Nitrogen - 1.32 %Oxygen - 7.25 I see there is a few differences with the biggest one being in the %Ash and %Carbon other than that would this be something you would consider to use? I would like to hear from the South African Smiths as well for the product would be first distributed here.

Good day fellow Blacksmiths I might be able to offer you a solution that will not only burn better but safes you money by doing so. I would appreciate it if you took the time to answer the following few questions in order for me to determine if it will be worth while pursuing. If you are currently using a coal forge what coal do you use and how is that working for you? What do you need/want from your coal? Where are you currently getting your coal and at what price? How do you feel about a briquette type coal that has better burning results than anthracite but at a fraction of the price? Thanks allot for your participation. All of the best for your endeavours and keep the iron clinging.
