One of the reasons why binchotan charcoal is used so widely in japan is because of it's efficacy and flavorless heat. Binchotan can burn for 3-5 hours at a time and can even be extinguished and re-ignited up to 2-3 times. So, if you're wondering how to light Japanese charcoal, follow these steps:
1. Put the charcoals into a charcoal chimney (a pot with holes in the bottom) or place it over an open flame. This will need to be here for around 20-25 minutes until the charcoals are glowing consistently
2. Place the charcoal into your konro grill evenly one by one. If you only want to use half of the grill, be sure to stack them evenly on one side.
3. Finally, leave the charcoals to burn for about 15 minutes to preheat the grill. Move the charcoals around to get more even heat. Now you're ready to grill!
