Our natural hardwood Briquettes are made from 100% mangrove wood. Natural means natural.  Our briquettes are made with food grade wheat flour and tapioca starch unlike other briquettes /Ogatan charcoals on the market that use sodium nitrates, borax, and other chemical agents to bind the sawdust. Mangrove wood is a reliable source of fuel for cooking and heating which burns hotter than most charcoal and is good for high-speed cooking or cooking that requires consistent heat over a long period of time. The dense wood of mangrove trees contains a high carbon content, which translates into a hotter and more intense flame. This intense heat allows you to sear meats quickly, locking in their juices and creating a flavorful crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. This product is a great alternative to Binchotan charcoal for its similar benefits at a lower cost.

Arrange the charcoal upright in the chimney, leaving some space for airflow.


Place the charcoal chimney on a hotplate, burner or portable stove.  You can also use  fire starters and place it underneath the charcoal chimney.


Turn the burner on high for 15 minutes until the charcoal turn bright red throughout. 


After 15-20 minutes on high, turn off the burner and allow the charcoal to fire up on it's own for an additional 10 minutes.  


When the charcoal is bright red throughout, it's ready to use.

Using tongs, carefully move the lit binchotan to your grill or brazier.
Use the tongs to place the charcoal evenly for optimal heat
