Question

What is the advantages and disadvantages of wood and charcoal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The advantage of burning charcoal compared to burning wood is the absence of water and other components. This allows charcoal to burn at higher temperatures, and give off very little smoke (regular wood gives off a good amount of steam, organic volatiles, and unburnt carbon particles soot in its smoke).

Charcoal is better fuel than wood because: When the same amount of charcoal and wood are burnt, charcoal produces almost twice the heat produced by wood. Charcoal produces much less smoke than wood. Charcoal is a compact fuel that is more convenient to handle than wood.
