Choosing charcoal
Which grade suits your kitchen

Coconut shell briquettes, binchotan and selected premium grades suit yakiniku, yakitori, robatayaki, omakase grill service and open-kitchen cooking.
What is binchotan best used for?
Premium grills, yakitori, yakiniku, robatayaki and high-end cooking that needs strong heat, clean burning and long-lasting performance.
What are coconut shell briquettes best for?
Kitchens that need consistent heat, long burn time, low smoke and efficient fuel cost — steakhouses, BBQ restaurants, yakiniku shops, seafood grills and commercial kitchens.
What is natural wood charcoal best for?
Restaurants that want a traditional charcoal aroma, strong flame character and a natural grilling experience — BBQ restaurants, Thai grills, seafood restaurants and open-fire cooking.
Can you recommend the right charcoal for my restaurant?
Yes. We match a grade to your restaurant type, cooking style, grill type, heat requirement, daily usage volume, smoke-control needs and budget.
How should restaurants store charcoal?
In a dry, covered area away from rain and humidity, and off the floor. Keep bags sealed after opening to protect ignition quality and burn performance.
Export & shipping
Buying a container
Who is a reliable coconut charcoal supplier in Thailand?
KINGBE (The Rich Alternative Product Ltd., Part.) is a fourth-generation charcoal manufacturer in Satun with over 80 years in the trade. We are a factory, not a trader — we carbonise, briquette, test and export ourselves. Our coconut shell charcoal is independently lab-tested (PSU OSIT: 78.05% fixed carbon, 1.85% ash).
How is charcoal shipped by sea? (UN 1361)
Charcoal is a dangerous good — UN 1361, Class 4.2, Packing Group III under the IMDG Code. Every container needs a signed Dangerous Goods Declaration, MSDS and compliant packing and labelling. We file our own DG paperwork for every booking.
What documents do I need to import Thai charcoal?
Commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading showing the UN 1361 declaration, Dangerous Goods Declaration, MSDS, Certificate of Analysis for the batch, and a Certificate of Origin (Form D/E can reduce your import duty). We provide the full set with every container.
What is the MOQ and lead time for export orders?
One 20-foot container, mixed products allowed. A 20′ takes roughly 13 MT of coconut shell charcoal; a 40′ roughly 24 MT. Lead time is 15–21 days on repeat orders. Book ahead in high season — DG container slots and vessel space are limited.
Do you export?
Yes. Our export range covers coconut shell briquettes, hardwood briquettes, binchotan-style white charcoal and longan smoking firewood. We currently ship to Malaysia, the Maldives, Japan and South Korea, and are open to China, Singapore, the Gulf and Australia.
Do you supply restaurants in bulk locally?
Yes. We support B2B and wholesale supply for restaurants, hotels, cafés, retailers and distributors. Options, pricing, MOQ and delivery terms depend on volume and location.
