FAQs

How much charcoal should I use?
When using the large YAKINIKU®, you need to fill the fire tray to about 2.5 to 5 cm
above the air holes. In case of the medium or small YAKINIKU® fill it up to the air
holes. Charcoal has various lengths. So you don't have to count the number of coals.
Do I need to refill charcoal during the BBQ?
Normally not. The YAKINIKU® burns for hours without refilling. As the cooking tem-
peratures are higher, the coals burn faster, but even then refills will probably not be
necessary.
To keep the coals "on the back burner" after lighting or to keep dishes warm for a long
time, you need to close the sliding cap completely and open the under slide about
5cm. To keep dishes warm, the temperature of your YAKINIKU® should be about
50ºC

How do I re-light my YAKINIKU®?
You'll be surprised how much charcoal is left of the amount you started with. You can
use it again. Before you start, the ashes must be removed. YAKINIKU® recommends
emptying the ash into a metal container, no matter how "cold" the shaft is.
Check the air holes. In this, small pieces of charcoal or ash sometimes accumulate,
which reduces ventilation.
How do I control the temperature?
NOTE: when working with higher temperatures (from about 200ºC) you should care-
fully open the lid a small piece so that a little air can be added. Then you can quietly
open the lid completely. When the lid is quickly opened in its entirety, a recoil of the
present hot air may take place. This may result in injuries.
