Binchotan Charcoal, the best charcoal for your Konro Grill

Binchotan Charcoal is a traditional Japanese charcoal known for its high heat output, low smoke development and long burn time. It is made from oak or tropical hardwood that is burned slowly at high temperatures, resulting in a dense, pure charcoal that gives the charcoal its unique flavour.

Binchotan is perfect for use onKonro Grills. In addition to the original Japanese Binchotan, we also offer other types of charcoal, such as Thaan Charcoal from Thailand.

What is the difference between Thaan and Binchotan Charcoal?

Binchotan and Thaan Charcoal have their own unique characteristics and benefits for using oneKonro Grill, and it depends on your personal preference which one is best.

Binchotan charcoal is known for its high heat output, low smoke development and long burning time. It is made from oak wood or tropical hardwood that is slowly burned at high temperatures, resulting in a dense, pure charcoal that gives the charcoal its unique flavor.

Thaan charcoal from Thailand is made from the bark of mango trees and has a lower combustion temperature than Binchotan charcoal. As a result, it imparts a subtle flavor to the food that is prepared on it. Thaan charcoal is known for its fast ignition and relatively short burn time, making it useful for short grilling sessions.

In general it can be said that Binchotan charcoal is better suited for longer grilling sessions, while Thaan charcoal is better suited for shorter grilling sessions and for adding a subtle flavor to the food. However, it all depends on your personal preference and the way you use the charcoal.

Why is Binchotan Charcoal so expensive?

There are several reasons why Japanese Binchotan charcoal is relatively expensive:

Manufacturing process: Binchotan charcoal is made from high-quality, hardwoods that are burned slowly and at high temperatures. This process usually takes several days and is labor intensive, adding to the higher cost.

Scarcity: The woods used to make Binchotan charcoal are not always easy to find and are sometimes scarce. This can lead to higher raw material costs.

Quality :Binchotan charcoal is known for its high quality and unique properties, such as high heat output and low smoke development. This makes it popular among foodies and chefs, which can lead to higher prices.

Import costs: Binchotan charcoal is imported from Japan, and therefore has higher transport costs and import taxes.

In short, the higher price of Japanese Binchotan charcoal can be attributed to the higher production costs, scarcity of raw materials, high quality, and transportation and import costs.
