Finally, a sustainable charcoal that burns super hot for a long time! Shirozumi Eucalyptus Charcoal is made using the same techniques as the legendary Binchotan, but fast-growing Eucalyptus wood makes it very sustainable and affordable. Less dense than binchotan, it is somewhat easier to light and burns intensely for 3-4 hours, perfect for backyard grilling or even dinner service.

  • Carbon Content: 90%
  • Burn Time: 3-4 hours
  • No flame and very little smoke.
  • Eucalyptus - super fast growing and sustainable wood source.
  • Made in Vietnam.

TIPS FOR STARTING:

  • Place your binchotan on a bed of already lit softer charcoal like the ogatan or even lump charcoal if you have it.
  • Make sure that your coal is neatly placed in the chimney starter, all running in the same direction, and place the whole thing on a propane burner for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Use a hair dryer, fan, or shop-vac to blow air on the coals like a blacksmith’s bellows.

"This perfect charcoal is a good inexpensive alternative. Pro tip - reuse the unfinished charcoal by dropping it in a pail of water when done, then drying out a paper towel for a couple days."

Great Burning Charcoal

"I picked up a box of shirozumi and a box of ogatan for my yakatori grill and mixed it 1/3 ogatan to 2/3 Shirozumi. Charcoal lit well after 15 minutes on my BBQ side burner. Great heat, no smoke and lasted quite a while. Most importantly, the yakatori came out great!"
