SOLID FUEL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a solid fuel that is readily placed in a portable stove, stabilized after being placed, facilitates handling, is easily ignited, uniformly burnt and readily sets a combustion time. SOLUTION: In the solid fuel F obtained by grinding charcoal as a carbonized plant, to give powder and granular material Fa, mixing the powder and granular material with a binder and molding the mixture into a fixed shape, the mixture is molded into a sheet, a plurality of holes 1 passing through the upper and lower sides are formed in a matrix state. The area SA of the surface is provided with 10-2,500 holes 1 based on SA=100 cm2, the diameter D of the hole 1 is 1 mm≤D≤20 mm, the thickness t is 1 mm≤t≤30 mm, the density ρis 0.4g/cm3≤ρ≤0.8g/cm3. The solid fuel is composed of the powder and granular material Fa having the particle diameter D of D≤4 mm as the powder and granular material Fa of charcoal and the surface of the powder and granular material is coated with an ignition material 5.
