I saw a tv show that showed the the Chinese making coal for they're
kitchen stoves and furnaces. It was actually bituminus coal and the
crushed it an made a lurry with water. Then pured the slurry into a
press. what came out sounds like this stuff you call extruded. The stuff
on tv had holes in it. I sorta remember that it was round with about 5
holes? But anyway, they were not using dust from lump, but rather it was
the coal from the ground. Are you guys really getting and extrudelump
product!

Yes:

There is very little ash and absolutely no sulfer smell as the result of
burning this Indonesian extruded coconut shell charcoal. There are a
number of websites that talk about extruded charcoal manufacturing in
developing nations using field wastes and other non tree sources for carbon.

I have 32 boxes of the Kamado extruded charcoal on hand and 67 boxes
backordered.

I'm a contractor. If you want an opinion, I'll sell you one.
Which one do you want?

Then by the time you use up the first 32 boxes you might not have to
wait much longer for the other 67.

In China, we got food from street vendors who cooked with a few of these
briquettes in a cylinder like a chimney charcoal starter (we had a great
mutton burger with chiles on local bread in Xian). The wok sat on the
top. Hot pots (steamboats) had a couple of these in the center to keep
the broth warm. Not OSHA-approved, for sure.

since they weren't grilling but using it to heat a wok!
