참숯, or "charcoal," is a traditional Korean charcoal made from hardwood. It is known for its high carbon content and low impurities, which makes it ideal for cooking and heating. The process of making 참숯 involves burning wood in a low-oxygen environment, resulting in a dense and long-lasting fuel source. In addition to its use in cooking, 참숯 is also valued for its air-purifying properties. It can absorb odors and harmful substances, making it a popular choice for home use. Many people appreciate 참숯 for its natural qualities and its ability to enhance the flavor of grilled foods.
