1 LB Charcoal (Eastern Red Cedar)

Charcoal eastern red cedar milled, renowned for its quality, is a fine air float produced through ball milling. This process enhances its efficacy in pyrotechnic formulations, ensuring optimal burn rate and consistency. The use of eastern red cedar ensures a high-quality charcoal, perfect for achieving desired effects in fireworks.

Various charcoals cater to different pyrotechnic needs. While fast charcoal like eastern red cedar is ideal for quick-burning black powder for lift and break, hardwood charcoals, such as southern yellow pine, are preferred for spark effects. The choice depends on the desired effect and burn rate.

The particle size of charcoal significantly impacts its performance. Fine charcoal dust, like the milled version, is effective in pyrotechnic compositions but requires caution due to its inhalation risk. The ball milling process ensures a consistent and fine texture, enhancing the charcoal’s usability in pyrotechnics.

When working with fine charcoal dust, safety is paramount. A dust mask should be worn to prevent inhalation, and precautions should be taken to avoid any ignition sources. Proper ventilation and handling techniques are crucial to ensure safe usage.
