Charcoal

Charcoal is a lightweight black residue made of carbon that is produced by strongly heating wood in minimal oxygen to remove all water and volatile constituents.

The material can also be heated in a closed retort.

Modern charcoal briquettes used for outdoor cooking may contain many other additives, e.
