To provide a carbonized matter having good ignition and burning properties, and a method for producing the same.

This carbonized matter having good ignition and burning properties is obtained by incorporating a good ignition material (an alcohol, ether, etc.) in a porous carbonized matter (charcoal, saw dust charcoal, oval briquet, briquet, bamboo charcoal, etc.). The method for producing the same is provided by immersing the porous carbonized matter 4 into the good ignition substance 3 for a definite time, pulling it out and evaporating the immersing liquid attached on its surface by leaving it for a prescribed time.
