What is the conversion from charcoal to BTUs?
Charcoal is usually sold by volume – per standard bag or basket, per tin or per pile but sometimes directly by weight. If it is sold by weight and is dry (1-15 percent m.c. but on average about 5 percent) then the energy value of the charcoal will be about 33.0 MJ per kilogram (7,890 kcals/kg or 31,300 Btus/kg), or twice that of wood per kg.
