Binchotan BBQ

What is a Binchotan BBQ?

The original Konro grill comes from Japan. For years, people in China have been trying to recreate this grill, but they never match the quality of the original. But where can you tell? The original Japanese Binchotan BBQ is made entirely by hand from diatomaceous earth. This is a raw material from prehistoric earth layers. The clay made from it can withstand more than 1,000 degrees.

Because you use binchotan charcoal in the Konro grill, you achieve high temperatures, but the outside gets lukewarm at most. This makes the Konro the perfect table grill. Because the grates are placed a few centimetres above the charcoal, the juice of the meat drips down to the grill and evaporates at lightning speed. The vapour soaks into the meat and this produces a delicious smoky flavour. In addition, in the Konro grill you use binchotan charcoal, the most special charcoal in the world.

In a Konro Grill you use Binchotan charcoal

When you start working with the Konro Grill, you have Binchotan charcoal needed. This particular charcoal is made from the Japanese Ubame oak. Binchotan is only produced in southwestern Japan and is made by locals. The moisture is drawn out of the wood very slowly. This ensures that this charcoal becomes incredibly solid and burns much longer than any other type of charcoal. Japanese Binchotan charcoal is very unique and therefore also very expensive. We are therefore pleased to offer an affordable alternative: the white BestCharcoal Binchotan. This charcoal comes from Indonesia and has almost the same properties as Japanese Binchotan charcoal.
