Binchotan
Binchotan Charcoal
The finest grade of charcoal — golden charcoal (黃金炭) that burns 2-3 times longer than white charcoal
What is Binchotan?
Binchotan is the highest grade of charcoal, known as "golden charcoal" (黃金炭). Its hardness and quality are far beyond comparison with white charcoal or black charcoal.
Charcoal grades
Kiln charcoal < Black charcoal < White charcoal < Binchotan
Binchotan burns 2-3 times longer than white charcoal (an average of 4-5 hours of heat), and its stronger flame intensity means a higher rate of far-infrared radiation. This keeps meat juicier while cooking it evenly inside and out, resulting in a softer, richer flavor.
Because binchotan is made from extremely dense hardwood (dense enough to sink in water) and requires specialized production techniques, it can only be produced through a process of about 30 days. White charcoal (domestic Korean charcoal, and white charcoal from China and Vietnam) takes only 5-7 days to produce, which inevitably leads to a fundamental difference in quality.
Comparison with White Charcoal
| Item | White Charcoal | Binchotan |
|---|---|---|
| Production process | 5-7 days | About 30 days (3-4x longer carbonization time) |
| Heat duration | Baseline | 2x (average 4-5 hours) |
| Flame intensity | Baseline | 1-1.5x |
| Far-infrared radiation | Standard | High |
