Abstract-Briquette density is the primary criterion used to assess briquette quality. From the standpoint of manipulation, burning rate, briquette longevity, etc., briquette density is crucial. The current study examines the physical and combustion properties of Sawdust and Kurumthotti herbal sticks, including their length, diameter, mass, density, moisture content, total ash content, fixed carbon, volatile matter, and gross calorific values. Theoretical assessments of the variables that affect the quality of the briquettes were carried out throughout our investigation. The density and strength characteristics of the produced briquette were ascertained in order to assess its quality.
