Selecting the right charcoal for grilling is crucial for achieving optimal results. Here are some tips to help you choose the most suitable charcoal:

CHARCOAL TYPE
  • Decide between lump charcoal and briquettes. Lump charcoal burns hotter and faster, giving food a smoky flavor. Briquettes provide consistent heat and longer burn time.
  • For indoor use, choose premium no-smoke options like BINCHOTAN or SAWDUST.
  • For outdoor grilling, softwood or hardwood charcoal are ideal.

CHARCOAL QUALITY
  • Check for uniformity in size and quality to ensure even burning and consistent heat distribution.
  • Quality charcoal also guarantees high carbon content but minimal ash production, and a clean, natural flavor in your grilled dishes.

SIZE AND SHAPE
  • Large chunks of charcoal are ideal for high-heat grilling and searing
  • Small pieces are suitable for longer, slower cooking sessions

FLAVOR
  • Select BINCHOTAN and SAWDUST to ensure an original taste of dishes, juicy inside and crispy outside.
  • You can add smoky flavor to your dishes from natural wood charcoal including MANGROVE, LONGAN, KHAYA and COFFEE
COST
  • While premium charcoal brands may offer superior quality, more affordable options can still deliver satisfactory results for casual grilling sessions.
  • Especially, Vinachaki’s SAWDUST CHARCOAL is a perfect choice if you want to find a charcoal type with exceptional quality and reasonable price

Brand reputation
  • Opt for sellers that have more than 5 year-experience of supply charcoal with consistent large quantities
  • Consider whether the brand is available on the Internet or social media such as website, Facebook and Instagram
