About IPPINKA Kishu Pro Grade Japanese Binchotan BBQ

Kishu Binchotan (Japanese Oak) Charcoal is known as the best quality charcoal, activated through an extremely high burning temperature and a rapid cooling process. Binchotan (or sometimes written as "binchoutan") is all natural and does not contain chemicals. This means high heat preserves the flavorful juices, gives a good sear, and makes anything barbecued absolutely delicious. The longer pieces also mean longer burning times. These sticks are restuarant-grade and are used when making traditional Japanese Yakatori. Made in the Kishu region in Japan. Since this is a natural product, the length and diameter will vary from piece to piece - Aprx length: 4 - 16" and Aprx Diameter: 1.2 - 1.4" Important usage warning: Use charcoal chimney to light the charcoal. Please ensure that a spark arrestor or a spark screen is placed on top of the chimney. Sparks and small pieces of charcoal may pop out of the chimney. Ensure area surrounding the chimney (about 3 feet) is open and free of objects and people. Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal. Instead, cut off the oxygen supply to the charcoal and let it cool. Charcoal that is not completely burned can be reused again, provided that it is stored properly. Storage Instructions Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight. Once opened, seal the charcoal tightly in a container or heavy-duty bag. We recommend inserting a desiccant pack to reduce moisture.
