O dear! an hour gone looking at google pictures
I found an electron microscope pic. of charcoal (BEST Energies have some brilliant ones- must see if they would like to share.) and some other weird Japanese stuff on charcoal that I don't understand.

I use the flat side of a brick while it is still in the bag; but mine is re-constituted bamboo or coconut char and might be a bit easier.
Just an interesting note I found on Coppicing

Not to mention the ~20% better wood yield from coppicing
(felling deciduous trees at less than 35 years and letting them regrow from the stump).
