"The cooks here emphasize specialized accessories and practical workflow: they recommend a Japanese-style charcoal starter pan specifically for binchotan, keep a small stainless-steel pot on the cooler side of the grill for basting, warming butter, or holding ice/water to add humidity when smoking, and rely on locking and plain stainless-steel tongs (keeping two sizes) for precise manipulation. They also endorse high-quality instant-read thermometers as an essential tool for reliably gauging doneness." - Jamie Feldmar
