I bought a new Hibachi Grill. I had one nearly like it a hundred years ago and loved it.
I haven't grilled anything myself ..... in a hundred years !
I've had a grill or two since then, but since I've been on my own the last 24 years, before the last 6 or 7 years, I lived in apartments. One was on the 3rd floor and for obvious reasons you weren't supposed to grill on your balcony. I didn't grill much, because running up and down 3 flights of stairs just to check on it was no fun. Also staying outside in the Texas heat to keep from going up and down was.... no fun too.
Duh !! 😄
I got another grill at another apartment and right after I got it, they made a new rule that we could not have our own grills, but had to use theirs. They had one or two here and there around the complex and actually one wasn't far outside my apartment, but it was always filthy and caked with gunk where other people didn't clean up behind themselves. Cleaning someone else's mess before being able to use.... NO !! 😄
I got another small grill at the last house. Never used it ! No good reason !
I ignored the fact that I already had that small kettle grill when I saw this one. I bought this anyway. This bottom "bowl" is very heavy ! Good for using and lasting a while, but a pain in the rumpus when putting together..... although overall, it was a very simple task.
The side thingys have grooves a different heights so you can cook closer or farther from the fire.
Nice wooden handles to help them not be so hot if you need to touch them.
Little windows for the vents to control the air flow.
Slide open....
or close....
.....all done except for adding the grates. I like that they come off for cleaning.
Vwa-LA !! (Voila for those who speak proper French, however, I didn't know how to put the accent mark over the a here 😏)
I wonder if I am going to use this one. LOL !!! I'm claiming I am, but my back deck, which would be the prime place for small grilling, stays hot as blue blazes in the summer from noon till sun down. I'm hoping I will because I have visions of all things that are extra yummy when charcoal grilled.
I'm getting ready for spring and summer !
Hope you have all had a good day (or morning or evening wherever you are)
