What is a Hibachi BBQ Grill?

Hibachi, more commonly known in Japan as a Shichirin Konro, is a traditional Japanese charcoal grill that has evolved into a versatile and portable cooking device, perfect for outdoor grilling. Originally designed as a heating device, Hibachi grills, are crafted from diatomaceous earth a type of porous ceramic, offering excellent heat insulation and retention.

Hibachis can withstand high-quality charcoal like Binchotan to provide a high heat, smokeless and clean grilling experience, making them ideal for cooking meats, seafood, and vegetables with rich, smoky flavours.

Featured on popular shows like MasterChef Australia, these grills are celebrated for their authentic cooking experience and efficiency. The compact design of Hibachis makes it perfect for camping and outdoor gatherings, while the larger versions are great for home or commercial restaurant use.

What makes Hibachis special

Hibachis are renowned for their outstanding heat efficiency and superior insulation, attributed to their traditional construction. This design minimises heat loss, enabling Hibachi grills to utilise the exceptional Binchotan charcoal, famed for its rich, smoky flavour that is cherished globally.

In Japan, Hibachis are traditionally used to grill yakitori (skewered chicken) and yaki onigiri (grilled rice balls). However, their versatility is celebrated as chefs, particularly on shows like MasterChef Australia, explore new culinary possibilities by grilling a variety of foods such as Dory fish, chilies, and pork chops!
