Kyushu Binchotan is the king of charcoal. Unlike regular hardwood charcoal Binchotan will burn for 5 – 7 hours or 3 – 5 hours if extinguished and re-ignited. The charcoal burns with an even constant heat which quickly seals in the natural flavours of your produce. Genuine Binchotan is chemical free and almost completely smoke free. The lack of chemical additives and the incredibly high heat preserves the flavourful juices, adds a beautiful sear, and makes anything barbecued on it delectable. This wonderful charcoal is not limited to kitchen usages, they also have health benefits if used properly!
Place enough charcoal in a starter pan to create a single layer of coal, cover the pan with a splash guard and place it directly over a naked flame on a gas hob or our electric Looft Lighter, until the coal turns white all over – approximately 15 mins.
Do not use a synthetic fire starter or you will end up with unhealthy and distasteful chemical fumes.
Make sure all the charcoal is lit properly before placing it in the Konro.
Use tongs to evenly place charcoal in your barbeque. If you are only using half your barbeque, stack Binchotan evenly on one side only.
Once stacked, leave the charcoal to burn for about 15 mins to build the heat. Reshuffle the logs to get a more even heat.
To douse the charcoal between uses, use tongs to replace the hot burning coals back into the starter pan and spray gently with water until the fire is out. Once cold, it can be safely stored inside a metal container in a dry place.
