It is harder to lower the temperature of charcoal than it is to raise it.

Rather than raising the temperature, it is harder to lower it.

To raise it, you just add more.
But to lower it, you have to take some away.
Handling charcoal during business hours takes time.
That is why most chefs panic when the temperature gets too high.

There is only one theory.

Remove the lit charcoal and add new charcoal.

That is all.
There is nothing else.

Lower the heat by removing the lit charcoal.
At the same time, add new charcoal to prepare for the next level of heat.
It is simple, but this is the only standard method.

Do not throw away the removed charcoal.
Put it in a fire-extinguishing pot and use it for the next shift. Use up all the charcoal.

A method for when you have time to spare

When you have time to spare, cool the grill with a wet towel.

Since the grill itself holds heat, cool it from the outside with a towel.
It is a way to lower the temperature gently and gradually.

However, there is almost no time to spare during business hours.
This is strictly for when you have time.

In an emergency, use one piece of ice

You have no time. You want to lower the temperature right now. There are moments like that.

In that case, put one piece of ice into the grill.

When the ice vaporizes, it instantly absorbs the surrounding heat.
It is the principle of heat of vaporization. Use that moment to rearrange the charcoal.

One piece is enough.
If you put in too much, the temperature will drop too far.
One piece of ice—that alone creates time.

※ Because there are dangers depending on the structure of the grill and the state of the charcoal, please do not attempt this if you are not experienced.

Knowing or not knowing makes a big difference.

Temperature management is also about subtraction.

If you only think about adding, you will not get better at temperature management.

A craftsman who knows when to pull back can maintain a steady fire.

By mastering both,
you will be able to control the grill in any situation.
