Why Some Charcoal Changes the Scent of Your Bukhoor

Many charcoal tablets are made to light instantly, and they often contain an ignition additive. When it burns, you smell the charcoal before the bukhoor, and sometimes you see smoke.

How to judge charcoal before you buy it again

  • Smell: light one piece on its own. If you smell anything, it will mix with your bukhoor.
  • Smoke: good charcoal gives off no visible smoke once it is lit.
  • Heat: it should stay steady, not flare up and die down.
  • Burn time: it should last as long as the size promises.

Carbon is 100% natural charcoal with no smoke and no smell of its own, so the only scent in the room is your bukhoor. It comes with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee: if you are not happy, we collect it and refund you in full, as long as no more than 10 pieces were used.
