The medium Konro Grill is perfect for al fresco entertaining. With this traditional charcoal barbecue, you can bring the spirit of Japanese izakayas to your garden. Use it to grill skewers of chicken, prawns or asparagus.

The Konro Grill is made with diatomaceous earth. This is a natural material that maximises heat retention. The grill can reach temperatures up to 750°C so your food cooks quickly and evenly. It also offers delicious caramelisation of sauces and marinades.

You can place marinated meat, fish and vegetables directly on to the stainless steel net. Any juices that drip onto the charcoal are instantly evaporated, keeping food moist and flavoursome. The high temperature guarantees crispy chicken skin and appetising scorch marks on vegetables.

This type of grill is also known as a shichirin or hibachi. In Japan, they are a popular sight on street corners with vendors selling yakitori skewers. Now, these tabletop barbecues are used by top chefs around the world. Their simple, compact design is great for grilling at home.

For best results, use binchotan charcoal. This Japanese charcoal burns at a high temperature for several hours. It burns cleanly and evenly with minimal smoke. It gives food a wonderful chargrilled taste, without overwhelming delicate flavours.

The Konro Grill has rubber caps to keep it stable while you cook. Wooden trays are available to protect your surfaces from the heat of the grill.
