Round Seasoned Cast Iron Charcoal Hibachi Grill - GL10447

Great Transaction! Order received promptly!!! Works great. I have both cast iron grills the lodge l410 and now the cajun cookware grill.You will not go wrong with either one. Excellent searing. Easily reaches 600-1000 degrees, dependent upon the type of charcoal/wood. My preference for grilling is using a mixture of hardwood charcoal with chunks of various woods depending on what we are grilling, ie: fish, lobster, shrimp, chicken, duck, pork or beef fajitas,.baby back ribs,PIZZA or steak. In my experience wood always burns hotter than charcoal, helps to get that beautiful sear and also imparts better flavor. I have played with several flavors of wood, hickory, mesquite, peach, apple, cherry, oak and orange. Each one has a way of enhancing the special meal.Below is a secret that will enhance your grilling..........I also have utilized the old smokey charcoal grill # 22 to set both grills in. with the bottoms being supported by inexpensive ceramic 4x4 tiles.This gives me the added benefit of slowing down the grilling process by being able to cover both grills and control the heating process. I have also been able to roast a golden brown duck and chicken by adding a rib rack and using the old smokey set up I have SET IT AND FORGET IT!!! LOL.Also I have been able to smoke/grill 3 large racks or ribs. SET T AND FORGET IT. The height of the old smoker is a true WINNER!!!Now to my favorite. The winner is the Cajun grill. WHY?Larger surface area, excellent for that homemade pizza,8 hamburger patties 8 lobster tails, etc.Fyi, it can also be used as a cooker for a cast iron skillet for fish, vegetables etcAlso while using a small amount of charcoal it is our go to for quick grilling versus the weberor the homemade brisket smoker.For those that mot only love to grill but love those beautiful seared grill marks. We have used weber searinggrate for a little more expression especially with a good steak.Experiment !!! Enjoy grilling !!!

I ended up buying both the Lodge and Cajun grills so here is my comparison of the two. The most noticeable difference is in the quality of the casting. The Cajun is made in China and is shows. The grill grate has small bubbles and imperfections that don't exist on the Lodge. Overall the cast iron is simply inferior on the Cajun. The access door to the ashes is very poorly designed and falls out easily. I am sure it will break one of these times when it hits the patio concrete just right. I bought the Cajun because it had a larger grill surface. If the larger grill surface is important to you then go with the Cajun. Both do what you expect a cast iron hibachi to do....there is nothing that compares in my opinion. Bottom line, the Lodge is a noticeably higher quality and better designed product but they both do the same thing. Both manufacturers placed large medallion logos in the middle of the grill surface....not a good idea....messes with the all important grill marks.

I chose this grill because there are only two to cook for. I have realized that this grill requires less charcoal and is faster than a conventional grill. It will cook steaks, porkchops, and hamburger perfect! I also own a lodge hibachi grill but prefer this one because of the larger grilling area and because you are more able to move the meat away from the coals because of the larger grilling area. It should last me my lifetime due to the rugged construction as long as I protect the grill from the elements. I believe that this grill is a superb choice for someone who wants a true habachi!

Bought to replace my Lodge, after years of use. Used probably 6 times and grill has large crack on top. Did not have as much space between wood and grill. Going back to Lodge

Arrived promptly in good condition. Grills nice and fast, great flavor. Grate lift handle could be better, should be longer for more leverage on heavy grates. No problems with front door, stays secure when placed properly. A little pricey for a made in china product but decent quality and design. Preseasoned well. Like all cast iron products, requires a bit of extra maintenance (regular cleaning and oiling), but worth the effort. Big enough for family of four at home, perfect for tailgating and camping. Chose this over the lodge since this is a little bigger.

We were looking for a small, but sturdy grill that could handle a meal. We grilled steaks for a family of four and it handled it just fine! Since it can burn both wood and charcoal, we can have a meal and make smores! Although made of cast iron, I will like it for camping trips because of it's sturdiness. I only wish it came with a lid because I'll bet you could bake with it as well!

I just opened my Cajun hibachi, and it looks okay. I haven’t used it yet, but I would not be surprised if it falls apart when it gets hot. It had to be the worst packing job I have ever seen. The box was very heavy, and when I moved it all the parts rattled. Three small parts were loose and not wrapped. The grill was not wrapped and was wedged into the base at an angle. In addition, the tape was barely holding requiring no cutting tool when delivered. It looks like a great little hibachi, but you showed no respect for your product when you shipped it. If it shows a defect when I use it, you will hear from me again.

this grill will be passed on down to my kids. NOW! i also ordered a lodge 17 inch double handled pan. this pan ( upside down ) covers the grill for heat control, or turn it right side up and now you can cook breakfast in the pan. the combo works really well. NO POWER ! NO PROBLEM ! LETS GET COOKEN!
