Aromatherapy briquettes have been made as an alternative fuel made from lemon grass, sawdust and pine resin. Composition variations between lemongrass and sawdust (meranti) in samples A (30% : 70%), B (40% : 60%), C (50% : 50%) with 60% pine resin adhesive with drying time 7 days. Physical test parameters carried out: density, moisture content, and heat. The test results showed that the optimum aromatherapy briquettes were sample C which had a density value of 0.954 g/cm3, a moisture content of 7.81% and a calorific value of 8640 cal/g. The value of water content and heating value complies with SNI 01-6235-2000.
