What is the difference between Thaan Charcoal and Binchotan?
Thaan and Binchotan are both types of charcoal used in Asia for grilling and roasting food.
Thaan charcoal is made from rambutan wood and comes from Thailand. It is produced by burning pieces of wood without oxygen, so the carbon content in the charcoal is high. Thaan charcoal has a low smoke development and burns long and evenly. It imparts a light smoky flavor to the food.
Binchotan charcoal originates from Japan and is made of oak wood. It is produced by burning pieces of wood at very high temperatures, so that the carbon content in the charcoal is even higher than Thaan charcoal. Binchotan charcoal burns longer and hotter than Thaan charcoal and gives off no smoke or odor. As a result, the food grilled with Binchotan charcoal has a purer taste.
In short: Thaan charcoal is cheaper and gives off a light smoky flavor to the food, while Binchotan charcoal is more expensive, burns longer and does not give off any taste or smell.
