## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can you light it up more easily? Heard that this type of charcoal takes much longer. Thanks.**
A: I light a few pieces of lump charcoal burn until white and put the Binchotan on top. Burns nice and is in-expensive way to start. Or use a small propane solder tank.

**Q: Can this charcoal be used indoors for a small Chinese Hot Pot?**
A: Just like any charcoal, it cannot be burned indoors safely, at least not without specialized equipment / ventilation to assure no build up on CO.

**Q: What makes this charcoal "better" than other hardwood charcoal or even uncarbonized hardwood?**
A: Nothing -- my wife got ripped off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent binchotan for the perfect yakitori flavour
*by O***S on July 3, 2020*

Excellent binchotan that is worth its high price tag. The coal burns cleanly and one can use it for 1.5 grill sessions. This coal is essential to make restaurant style yakitori or Yaki niku
