Nagatsuka Charcoal Starter Pan - Made in Japan

The Nagatsuka Charcoal Starter Pan lights dense binchotan over a gas burner. Binchotan's density makes it slow to ignite; the pan's perforated base gives the flame direct contact and steady airflow, bringing the charcoal to a glowing red in 10–15 minutes. For step-by-step instructions, see our guide to safely lighting binchotan charcoal.

What's Included

  • 1 x Nagatsuka Charcoal Starter Pan

Key Features

  • Efficient Design: The perforated bottom allows direct flame contact and promotes airflow, so charcoal lights quickly and evenly.
  • Durable Construction: The enamel-coated steel body withstands the high temperatures of lighting charcoal.
  • Natural Wood Handle: Provides a comfortable grip and stays cooler than an all-metal handle.
  • Made in Japan: Enamel-coated steel with a natural wood handle.

DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide, which has no odour and can be lethal. NEVER burn charcoal in enclosed spaces like homes, vehicles, or tents. This product is designed for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. It may be used in a commercial kitchen with a professionally certified, high-powered ventilation and extraction system. Ensure the area is always extremely well-ventilated.

How to Use

  1. Place the starter pan on a stable, non-flammable surface.
  2. Arrange binchotan charcoal pieces vertically inside the pan.
  3. Place the pan over a portable gas stove burner outdoors.
  4. Heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the charcoal is glowing red.
  5. Carefully transfer the hot charcoal to your konro grill using charcoal tongs.

Use & Care
  • User guide: Setting up, using and caring for your konro grill.
  • Lighting binchotan: Dense white charcoal takes longer to light than regular charcoal — our guide shows the safe way.
  • Ventilation: Use your konro outdoors or in a well-ventilated space only — never in an enclosed room.
  • Water: Never pour water on a hot konro — sudden temperature change can crack the body. Let the coals burn down or remove them safely.
  • Reuse: Binchotan can be snuffed out in an airtight metal container and relit next time.
