Tabletop Charcoal Grill Rectangular - Red - (B-4)

A portable Japanese shichirin charcoal grill, the rectangular B-4 in red, made in Japan the traditional way from diatomite. This size suits two to four people and is a natural home for yakitori, yakiniku, seafood, vegetables and relaxed Japanese BBQ, whether at the kitchen table, on the balcony, in the backyard or away camping.

Diatomite holds and insulates heat beautifully, keeping intense warmth locked inside so binchotan or good quality lump charcoal burns efficiently and reaches the high temperatures Japanese charcoal cooking is all about. Lighter and more economical on charcoal than the bigger konro grills. The long rectangular shape is well suited to skewers, and pairs well with a suitable donabe or yukihira pan for hot pot and shared meals.

Specifications

Care and safety:

• Only use it somewhere well ventilated, since charcoal gives off carbon monoxide.
• Sit it on a heat resistant mat or surface before you light it.
• Never put the fire out with water. Diatomite soaks up moisture and will turn brittle and lose its strength.
• Let it cool down completely before you clean it.
• Gently clear out the ash and any food residue after each use.
• Keep water off it when cleaning.
• Store it somewhere dry between cooks.
