Thaan Charcoal on the Yak Grills Hibachi Grill

If you’ve been watching this channel for a while, breaking down your chicken, and making all the skewers and feel like you’ve mastered making Yakitori using your electric grill indoors you might be curious about making Yakitori on charcoal grill using Binchotan. There's been increasing requests for a video about cooking on charcoal. Because even Yakitori masters in Japan spend a lifetime learning charcoal, there’s definitely a lot to cover in a video. However I want to share some tips and information on to help you cook with charcoal starting with this video.

If you take the same chicken and the same cooking skills and cook it on electric, gas, or charcoal, charcoal is definitely going to taste the best. However that’s only true when you mastered the basics of how chicken grills with Yakitori which is why I definitely only recommend moving to charcoal after you understand the basic fundamentals of Yakitori which includes cutting, skewering, and grilling. I’ve definitely seen beginners invest in expensive equipment and pricey Binchotan their first time around only to cook up charred black and bitter tasting chicken and get frustrated in the process.

So far all my Yakitori tutorials have been demonstrated using my electric grill which is super perfect for indoor use everyday use and developing the important fundamentals. But moving forward you can expect to see me talk about other equipment and techniques that’s useful for other grills.

So Today I wanted to review the Thaan charcoal that’s an affordable charcoal option available nationwide. I’ll be using the Thaan Charcoal in the Yak Grills Hibachi Grill.

For those wanting to try out charcoal I wanted to talk about these Ogatan style, which are charcoal made from compressed sawdust that work similar to Binchotan made from solid wood but at a fraction of the cost.

This charcoal is a very affordable option, compared to actual Binchotan which start at around $80 for the cheapest ones and can easily be up to $200 or more for the same size 22 lbs box for the highest rated Kishu Binchotan from Wakayama.

I purchased the Thaan charcoal from Amazon to make an honest review for the Yakigang community.
Yak Grills sent me a preproduction Hibachi Grill for free for the purpose of testing the grill and providing early feedback before launching their Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign.
