How much charcoal do you actually need?
Pick your event, set covers + burn time, and we'll back-of-envelope the kilograms of lump and briquette to order, plus the smallest WC pack that covers it. Heuristics are documented in the breakdown below the result — sanity-check before you commit.

How we calculated this: 60 covers × 60 g/cover × 1.0 intensity over 3 hr
These are estimates — actual usage varies by airflow, charcoal grade, kiln moisture content, and ambient temperature. Most restaurants run a 1-week trial to pin down their kitchen's real consumption. For events over 50 kg we recommend applying for wholesale pricing first.
