Coconut shell briquettes, model KINGBE M-109 (Model 100), are what moo kratha and grill buffet restaurants choose most. They run at 400-425°C and burn 1-2 hours per load, which matches a buffet table cycle.

A hotter charcoal is not better here: moo kratha grills continuously for hours, so excess heat burns the meat and wastes fuel.

Temperature and burn time are factory test values and vary with grill type and ventilation.

There is no single number, because actual use depends on three things:

• Grill type. Table-embedded, open and bucket grills consume very differently.
• Ventilation or extraction fan. A strong fan pulls air through the charcoal and burns it noticeably faster.
• Heat level the menu needs. Low heat consumes far less than high heat.

The most accurate route is to tell us your grill type, table count and opening days per week via LINE. We calculate your daily charcoal cost free.

Smoke comes from moisture trapped in the charcoal and volatile matter that has not fully carbonised. Three fixes:

• Store charcoal dry, off the floor and away from walls.
• Light it fully until the white smoke stops before it reaches a guest's grill.
• Choose charcoal carbonised to high fixed carbon with low moisture.

KINGBE coconut shell briquettes measure around 4.83% ash against roughly 17-36% for common mixed hardwood briquettes. Less ash means less clearing during service and a fire that does not drop mid-meal.

We deliver from one case. Small or newly opened restaurants can order a trial quantity without committing to a full lot.

You can also request a sample to test on your own grill before deciding. Prices improve with volume and regularity once you order consistently, and we issue a full tax invoice.
