The hibachi grill has its cultural origin in Japan. The word "hibachi" refers to a traditional heating device made of wood or charcoal. In Japan, the hibachi has been used for centuries as a portable heating source for tea ceremonies, and for cooking small, grilled dishes like skewered meats and vegetables.

Over time, the hibachi grill has gained popularity in other parts of the world as well, and we are excited to be stocking a beautiful high-quality Hibachi Grill from Workshop73. We'll also share some delicious recipes to get started with your grill, these can obviously be used on any grill so don't worry if you haven't jumped on the hibachi trend yet!

The difference with a normal grill is that a hibachi grill typically only uses charcoal as its heat source, while a normal grill can use charcoal, propane, natural gas, or even electricity.

A hibachi grill is usually smaller and more portable than a normal grill, and it is designed to be used on a tabletop or other flat surface. It typically has a shallow, open-topped cooking surface with no lid or cover. 

Because a hibachi grill has an open cooking surface, it is best suited for high-heat, quick-cooking foods like meat and vegetables that can be grilled directly over the coals. Ready for some mouthwatering recipes?
