1.5" rib eye steaks seared on my new Lodge cast iron hibachi and finished on the Weber Genesis...

Those are great little cookers. I love mine. And yours is in excellent condition.

charrederhead · 02-12-2013, 11:30 PM

That's one hot grill!

Looks great, I was wondering, do they allow charcoal burning in Cali?

great Job

I like mine. The only drawback is that the heat takes the seasoning off the body right away and then it starts to rust. I just ran mine through the self cleaning cycle in the oven yesterday to remove any last remaining traces of the factory seasoning and I plan to apply some 2000°F Rustoleum starting today. If it truly is good for that temp, it should even be OK in the fire box.

The other thing I don't like about it is the propensity to tip forward when lifted by the bail. I want to counterweight it with something on the bottom towards the rear to counteract that. I wish they would have put the bail lugs at the balance point rather than the center of the fire box.

Ooh, that's nice.
Enjoy.

Very nice. What are the littl legs in the cooking grate for ?

John Bowen · 02-13-2013, 09:08 AM

Thanks for posting and the steaks look great but I am now kicking myself.

I have been wrestling with myself over the last year to buy one of those hibachis. Last October I even had one in the cart going to check out at Sports Academy and took it back.

You can flip the grate over and move it a little further from the coals. Devilishly simple method for temperature control. There is also a draft control that helps control temperature.
