Used in 1 of 203 cuisines (0%)

Hard, dense charcoal burned from chestnut and other hardwoods, prized as a grilling fuel because it lights to a steady, long-lasting, smokeless heat. It is a cooking fuel, never eaten, and imparts a clean radiant char to roasted meats.

Where it comes from

Produced from hardwood forests; favored as the roasting fuel for Yunnan roast duck.

In the kitchen

Burned as the radiant-heat fuel for grilling and spit-roasting; not an edible ingredient.
