How big is this ?
No details about size that I can see on the link.
Not totally sure but it looks exactly the same as this one on Amazon, which is 40x20x17 https://www.amazon.com.au/Healthy-Choice-Hibachi-Tabletop-Gr…
thanks for that…
Would be same as this

Bought one of these couple years back and it's close to dying now (cracks, top grid melting etc.). Size is good enough for cooking two steaks over charcoal though. The casing is cheap and brittle but good enough for an el'cheapo pit that can ramp up some serious charcoal heat. The stand comes in handy, so you can keep it on a wooden table if you want. Knowing how much a proper Hibachi from Japan costs (e.g. https://www.chefsarmoury.com/collections/japanese-bbq-grills…), these things are good value really, even if you have to replace it every 3 years or so.
Wow that's one expensive Japanese import ceramic grill.
It gets bigger when you click the thumbnail
That's what my wife said…
I must be reading an episode of The Ozffice
Do check the reviews on Amazon before you make your decision to purchase. Seems to be easily prone to cracks.
Very easy especially placed outdoor for a few rainy days.
Most cheap ceramics are prone to cracking. That's why you should never buy a cheap ceramic Kamado. But they should be fine as long as you don't let them get wet.
..also don’t expose them to sunlight …and don’t feed them after midnight.
WFH grilled meats…I love the image of someone sitting at their desk in a meeting - flipping thinly sliced beef on their grill.
We can do that on Friday!
Every day is Friday when WFH
Does red meat have enough iron to grill directly on this?
which one is better, Kmart or IKEA?
I had one like this. It disintegrated after 8 months. Didn't get rained on or anything.
These are generic ones you can also get from ebay and various other places..
from memory there are 3 different sizes..
From the photos posted in the reviews, it looks like only the outer surface is proper clay. The inside is some random crap???? I'd rather pay more and buy a proper Made in Japan or Made in Korea one.
Alternatively, get yourself some bricks and make a non-portable version. It has to be used outdoors anyway due to the carbon monoxide. I wouldn't use this on a table indoors in the dining room.

Instructions unc…..* faints *
aren't the korean bbq resturants as dangerous
Most if not all korean bbq places have exhaust fans right above the grill. The ones i been to all did.
Interesting cause one of the staff turned off my fan when food was finished and coals just sitting there
Japanese use these to commit suicide. Used in a car or tent. I guess that means they produce no smoke to cause coughing and panic, just the death fumes
Great if you would like to start with the charcoal cooking and after using it twice, realize it´d be better to get something decent. Weber Go-Anywhere is a way better option imho.
Better off with a Weber GA imo.
Can you get a Weber for $55 ?
No. But it'll last a lifetime unlike this hibachi.
Yes, not new but I see them frequently secondhand on FB marketplace for around that price. Very rarely see one in poor condition. I would go for a second hand Weber GA over a new budget hibachi every time.

Is this the recommended way to cook with it?
Yeah, I love my Go Anywhere, I use it every week as part of my meal prep and it'll definitely last. Not the same price though…
My one from coles last year still sitting sealed in my shed ahhhhhh
Time to buy this one to add to the pile.

I blame masterchef
What did Master Chief ever do wrong?

I have one but I think it is not really useful and heavy to carry for picnic.
You should have a separate coal starter/burner before putting in this Hibachi.
Yeah definitely cant see anyone hauling one of these bad boys around with a big bag of coal - besides this is flat out feeding 1 - 2 people let alone 4+
I bought a hibachi grill as well from : https://yakgrills.com/products/yak400
It's definitely more expensive and the shipping was outrageous but I have been using it almost weekly so it's been worth it.
Use it for kbbq with meats and you can also set it up to make yakitori as well.

Yakitori tastes amazing and it's very easy to do as well!

I spotted this on Amazon. Reviews suggest that this is essentially the Yak grill but cheaper? What do you think?
@choister: I think as it is stainless steel, it should basically be the same and function identically!
Great find!
@dabs: Thanks @dabs
Also, does your grill get hot at the outer layer? Ie could you burn yourself if you accidentally touch the outer shell?
Cheers
@choister: The outside definitely gets hot. The handles are not too hot so you can carry the grill by holding them. Check out yakitoriguy on youtube if you’re interested giving that a go!
I had one but accidentally left it under the rain once. Suffice to say, it crumbled like a sand castle the next time I used it. :(
I have one, probably made different supplier as mine has lasted 6 years. This is really used for thin sliced of meat and small skewers. Similar to Korean bbq types of food. Don't use it for your typical Aussie bbq meats as they are thick and won't cook inside.
damn. i would really like this but i have no faith getting one after looking through all the pictures of them crumbling. it looks like its built with cheap crap. anyone know any reasonable priced options?
Not sure about reasonably priced but try and get something similar to this one.
thanks. looks good. hopefully they have a sale in the future
Everdure Cube. Still a little pricey at $180 but reviews are great.

cooks in as little as 10 minutes?
Maybe once it gets goin' …had a ridiculous time trying to get coals going with my last charcoal bbq.
depends what you are cooking
These are great and will last a few years if you look after them correctly. I love mine and it’s great for one or two people.
My first one fell apart because it was left in the rain. It literally turned to sand and washed away.
Prior to that, it developed cracks (which didn’t impact the cooking) because I put too many coals in there and it was too hot. It’s also fragile and cracks can easily develop if it’s dropped or bashed against anything.
It’s easy to clean as you just tip the coals out and the grill is easily scrubbed. Takes a little time to set up and get the coals correctly, but after some sakè, it’s part of the fun.
So don’t go overboard with the coals, don’t transport it around allowing for tiny cracks to develop into bigger ones and keep it dry!
YMMV.
Table top is misleading. This is for outdoors use I think. I want to buy one for indoors and non coal
whats wrong with using coal
INDOORS… think about it.
charcoal produces carbon monoxide which can kill you if you use it in an unventilated indoor area
Anyone seen any in stock in SA? Had a look at the Northpark store but wasn't on the floor yet (staff didn't seem interested in checking for me either lol).
Hey paperclip managed to get one from the greenacres store yesterday. Had about 4-5 in stock.
Perfect! Thanks for letting me know
Make sure you have good ventilation when using this thing.
