ABOUT THAAN CHARCOAL

Cooking with charcoal—a tradition as old as humanity itself. For millennia, people have harnessed its smoky magic to char raw ingredients into delicious perfection. Much has changed, and much has stayed the same.  Today, billions of people across the globe can't get enough of foods cooked over fire.   Whether you’re grilling yakitori or wagyu beef skewers in Tokyo or reverse searing a tomahawk steak in Texas, charcoal unites us all. It’s the ultimate flavor conductor, the secret, primal ingredient.  After decades using industrialized charcoal briquettes, chefs, restaurateurs, and cooks of all stripes seek charcoal that is pure, reliable, and sustainable without compromising on flavor.

It arrived after testing dozens of charcoals, and connecting with the makers of rambutan charcoal — a renewable resource that burned for hours with almost no smoke, super high consistent heat, and a compelling sweet, gentle aroma.   The dense, long-lasting Thai-Style charcoal logs provided even radiant infrared heat without flare-ups. We had found our forever charcoal.
