Glows in yellow hues (1200’C, 2100’F) compared to Fogo mesquite wood in red hues (900’C, 1700’F), so much hotter.
Burning life is astonishingly long, out lasting even dense acacia wood. Considering this binchotan burns hotter and longer, it’s an astonishing product. Along with Japanese tradition, the aroma is clean and almost imperceptible. I loved it!
Next, I compared the physical properties of this binchotan to the “Bincho Grill” charcoal made in South East Asia. Bincho grill is on the left and binchotan is on the right in the photos.
Bincho Grill smell: very slightly smokey and woody
Real binchotan smell: imperceptible
Density: about 20% less dense than real Binchotan by my estimation
Bincho Grill colour: black to whitish surface, shiny black on fresh cross section
Real binchotan colour: never whiter than dark gray, darker inside
Sound: the real binchotan resonates much better. It has a higher pitch when struck against each other, with a much firmer rendition. Bincho grill is lower pitched and muted in comparison.
Users give Bincho grill lower marks on flavor than comparable options and I agree.
The higher density and pronounced pitch indicate that Binchotan is dense enough to burn extremely hot, compared to alternatives. The smell and colour differences indicate that it will not impart excessive flavor on the food, preserving the full potential of your dish and the Japanese grilling tradition.
