Thin portable grills lose heat the moment the lid comes off and warp after a season of hot fires. This MegaChef hibachi is the opposite: a heavy oval of pre-seasoned cast iron that soaks up charcoal heat and throws it straight back into the food. Set it on a picnic table, a tailgate or a patio stand, load it with coals and you get deep grill marks on steaks, burgers, skewers and corn for a table of two to six.

Key Features

• Pre-seasoned cast iron: it arrives seasoned and ready for the first fire, and the coating builds with every cook
• Removable raised grate: the 17 in oval cooking grate sits up on its own supports, lifts off for loading coals, and leaves crisp sear lines
• Pull-open coal door: a hinged front door lets you add charcoal or spread the coals mid-cook without lifting the food off the grate
• Adjustable bottom vent: open it for a hotter fire or close it down to slow the burn and hold a gentler heat
• Oval footprint: the long shape gives more cooking room than a round mini hibachi while staying tabletop sized
• Bail carry handle: a sturdy metal handle with a coiled grip makes it easy to move the cold grill from the trunk to the table
• Open flame safe: solid cast iron is built for direct coal contact, season after season

What's Included

In the box: the oval cast iron hibachi base with its front coal door, bottom vent and metal carry handle, plus the removable raised cooking grate. Charcoal and a fire starter are sold separately.

Before You Buy

• It weighs 24.5 lb. That mass is what holds the heat, but it is a two-handed lift. Plan on a sturdy, heat-safe surface such as a stone patio table, a metal camp table or a grill stand.
• Outdoor use only. Burning charcoal gives off carbon monoxide. Never light it inside a home, garage, tent, camper or screened porch.
• The whole body gets hot. Cast iron radiates heat through the walls, legs and handle. Use heat-resistant gloves and let it cool completely before you carry it.
• Cast iron rusts if it stays wet. Dry it after cleaning, wipe on a thin coat of oil, and store it under cover so it lasts for years.

Perfect For

• Steak and burger nights on a small patio or deck where a full-size grill will not fit
• Tailgates and campsites, grilling sausages, chicken and corn on a sturdy folding table
• Yakitori and kebab skewers laid across the long oval grate
• Cabin weekends and lake trips grilling fresh fish over real charcoal

Care & Use

• Before the first cook, wipe the grate and interior and rub on a thin coat of high smoke point cooking oil.
• Light coals on the bottom of the firebox, keep the vent open until they ash over, then set the grate in place.
• Add coals through the front door during long cooks and close the vent partway to slow the fire.
• Let the grill cool completely, then empty the ash into a metal container.
• Hand wash as needed with hot water and a stiff brush, dry right away and re-oil to keep the seasoning.
• Store it dry and covered between cookouts.
