Hookah or shisha charcoal briquettes are typically made from natural materials that are compressed into a compact form. The specific composition and ratios can vary depending on the manufacturer and the desired qualities of the charcoal. However, I can provide you with a general overview of the common materials used and the general process for making hookah charcoal briquettes.

Common materials used for making hookah charcoal briquettes:

Coconut Shell: Coconut shell is a popular source of carbon for hookah charcoal due to its high density and clean-burning properties.

Bamboo: Bamboo is another natural material that can be used to make hookah charcoal. It is also known for producing high-quality, odorless smoke.

Wood: Certain types of hardwood, such as oak, maple, or fruitwood, can also be used as a carbon source for hookah charcoal.

Starch Binder: A starch-based binder, such as tapioca or cornstarch, is often used to hold the charcoal particles together during the briquette-forming process.

Limestone or Clay: These materials can be used as a filler to help maintain the shape of the briquettes and provide structural integrity.

Water: Water is added to the mixture to help with the binding process.

General Process and Ratios:

Carbonization: The primary carbon source, such as coconut shell or bamboo, is heated in the absence of air to remove volatile compounds and moisture. This process results in charcoal.

Crushing: The charcoal is then crushed into small particles to create a consistent size.

Mixing: The crushed charcoal is mixed with a binder, often a starch-based material, and water to create a paste-like mixture. The specific ratio of charcoal to binder can vary, but a common range might be around 70-80% charcoal and 20-30% binder by weight.

Forming: The mixture is then shaped into briquettes using molds or extrusion processes. Limestone or clay might be added as a filler to help with shaping and and stability.

Drying: The formed briquettes are dried to remove excess moisture and solidify the shape.

Final Processing: The dried briquettes might undergo additional processing steps, such as polishing or coating, to improve their appearance and performance.

It's important to note that specific recipes and processes can vary among manufacturers, and the ratios mentioned above are approximate. Additionally, some manufacturers may use additives or flavorings to enhance the aroma and smoke produced by the charcoal. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe and proper usage of hookah charcoal.
