briquetted

Formed into fuel blocks

Briquetted describes material that has been compressed into briquettes—compact blocks typically made from coal dust, charcoal, sawdust, or other loose matter.

The process makes fuel easier to handle, store, and burn: briquetted charcoal for the grill, briquetted coal for industrial use.
