12:18 I would agree, but I'm pretty sure that black charcoal makes a lot of infrared light as well. I mean, I have burnt the stuff many times, and you can definitely feel the heat coming off of it, regardless of whether or not you are in the convection of hot air or not. I have caught sticks on fire by simply holding them near black lump charcoal that was burning, a few inches away, and not above it, but to the side, it was simply the infrared light that heated it up. I guess you would have to measure it to be sure. also, what made you think that Binchotan charcoal would emit more infrared anyway? just curious. is it because its more reflective than black charcoal? I guess the black charcoal would absorb more light since its porous and its black, while the Binchotan charcoal would reflect more light.

Interestingly yesterday I tried a portable butane stove which worked great but I left my red hot binchotan coals on a portable stove for too long and the butane canister blew up. Nobody got hurt and if I would have taken the chimney off the burner as soon as the coals were red hot everything would have been fine. I will try your way next time. The good news is the food still came out great.

@slaychild15 ай бұрын
where did you buy the charcoal?
@CH-eb2ny2 жыл бұрын
Most decent lump charcoal in the US is going to be around 65~75% carbon content. This level of carbon content pretty much ensures that most if not all of the cellulose and hemicellulose has been removed. While burning cellulose and hemicellulose provides aromatic wood flavors, it also can contribute bitter flavor compounds and makes the charcoal burn more irregularly. In essence, below 65% carbon content, such lump charcoal feels more like wood than charcoal and while that might be fine in an indirect smoker, it can be rather problematic in direct grilling. At 65~75%, lump charcoal only has mostly lignin and carbon to burn. Lignin converts to phenols when combusted and gives a smoky flavor to meat. That works for a lot of stuff, but not yakitori. So that uses higher carbon content binchotan where essentially the lignin has also been removed. No more woody or smokey flavors at that point. On a side note, briquettes are a bit different. For example, briquettes made from charcoal powder and binder can actually have a carbon content of 75~85%, but due to the binder it may not burn all that clean. Ogatan style briquettes are different because the lignin in the sawdust is used as a binder through heat and pressure, after which the wood product is pyrolyzed. Such ogatan briquettes are typically around 85~91% carbon content of what I've seen.
@Yakitoriguy2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing your insights. To add, even that what makes up that 5% organic material in the 95% carbon Binchotan varies among all the different Binchotan which leads to variances in flavor and texture yielded from Kishu Binchotan vs another brand/region of Japanese Binchotan. Hopefully I'll have a chance to play with some of these other ones in Japan next.
@CH-eb2ny2 жыл бұрын

Is this a more cost effective method vs just lighting using just binchotan or is there another reason? I did noticed in your vids that you tend to just use one type of charcoal when grilling. Do you mix charcoal like shops when you do pop ups?

@Yakitoriguy2 жыл бұрын
With Yakitori I don't want that woodsy/campfire grilled smoke flavor. Just the flavor of the chicken fat smoke. But with thick steak or burgers with lots of other flavors (cheese, condiments, buns etc) covering the patty, that woodsy smoke feels just right for me. Also less flareup with Binchotan (more flareups with lumps for that char flavor I want with steak or burger but not with Yakitori) Ultimately its a preference, like I don't want to eat Texas bbq that's missing wood smoke flavor either. Steak on Binchotan works too, just depends on what flavor you're going for. For Yakiniku style thin beef cuts I use Binchotan so all I'm tasting is the meat flavors. But for that big tomahawk, having a nice smoke flavor and char marks on the crust outside and beefy inside is the good balance at least in my preference.

It's definitely for special occasions for me however as it lasts 4-5 hours for home use it'll probably come out to around $10-$12 a session if you're throwing a small gathering, it's the price of a 6 pack of good beer.

Considering the hideous insane shipping cost to send over this box of charcoal, you might pay more shipping fee than the actual charcoal itself, it is really a premium and a luxury to use binchotan outside of Japan
