Cajun Classic Cast Iron Hibachi Grill Review

[@cajunclassiccookware6306]

Really enjoyed meeting you both today! Sorry it was so rushed and I don't do cameras! LOL - anyway what you were given is "la·gniappe" /ˌlanˈyap/ - something given as a bonus or extra gift. It's just what we "Cajuns" do! :) Be safe and can't wait to see our video!

[@BigLewBBQ]

Thank you so much for your kindness. The video for that trip can be seen here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qorMeWiZadOgf5I There will be several videos with the jambalaya pot the first will be Wednesday.

[@Bum5GHTKrew]

There's a shop in Texas selling these for 180$ for the hibachi grill and 80$ for the Crawfish pot that you got for 50$ ☹️ they are listed on the site as official sellers.

[@BigLewBBQ]

@@Bum5GHTKrew that sounds like way too much to me. Find some where else, or try to haggle a deal.

[@chrismangion9182]

would really like to purchase one of these for a relative, but I live in Massachusetts... there are no "distributors" and i did not see how to order on line. Please advise

[@RM-bw9bs]

Hello I enjoy the videos by Big Lew. My question is for cajun classics cookware. When will the 14 inch round grill be available. I am interested in buying one. Please contact me with any Information on if and when it is available. Thank you in advance.

[@schechter01]

Two things: 1. Am sorry to hear of your wife's passing, sir. Losing a loved one is never easy. I had to help my father through the same thing when his wife died a few years back. 2. I own an LSG & have used it a few times...would like to fire it up way more often but living in a 2nd-floor unit with a wood patio can cramp your style in certain ways. That little firebox opened my eyes to the glory of live-fire cooking. I thought the Lodge grill was the ultimate in portable grills...until I watched this video. Dammit. 😄

[@BigLewBBQ]

Thank you and glad I could help.

[@Unwrapasmile]

I absolutely love your hands on videos, you remind me of my daughter when you show and or explain items. I guess it’s the teacher in you both always enjoy watching, don’t change a bit keep doing you and I’ll keep watching. Love the grill. I can see this one being a good tag alone grill. Thanks for buying local.

[@gtsbarbecueandcuisine4837]

Shop Local Buy Local! The small business community needs us more than ever! Sweet little cooker mi hermano. All you need for small quick cooks. Have a great weekend Lew.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Thanks Gary.

[@robertq809]

I love small grills. This would be a fun addition for any griller.

[@BigLewBBQ]

It works well.

[@DutchyOutdoorCookingBBQ]

Great Review Lew👍 Seems like these grills are made by one manufacturer (China) and badged differently. BBQ-Toro (German) have the exact same grill, only difference, it has BBQ-Toro embossed on the Charcoal Door. Stay Safe 👍🇬🇧

[@BigLewBBQ]

Yes I figure that is the case. Thanks for telling me the other brand name. It’s good grill anyway.

[@BigLewBBQ]

I just checked out their site I can’t read German but I could see the grill.

[@PaddyJoeCooking]

Looks like a great grill Big Lew, can't wait to see you use it!!!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

That’s an awesome little cast iron grill! Looks good and awesome review Big Lew!

[@BigLewBBQ]

Hey thank you Tom.

[@scottelliott8805]

Was looking for a Hibachi and saw this video and found the large one at Amazon. Thanks for the great review

[@BigLewBBQ]

You are welcome!

[@FlourEggsYeast]

LOVE your energy Big Lew. You always bring it big. And, this looks like a good grill to have. - Cam V and Theresa

[@BigLewBBQ]

Thank you.

[@minorsnow5306]

I bought one a year ago,,just so I can put some smaller meats on without having to use my bigger pit..It works great for marinaded steaks, burgers, links,veggies and fish..And you can also get that flameboiled restaurant taste from it...The only drawback is that you gotta watch it closely..This boy is hot n' quick.♨️♨️

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A very nifty looking grill. Cheers, Big Lew! ✌️

[@Curtis3366]

Great review. I was looking at the Lodge Kick-Off Grill. Which has some nice features, but what I like about this is that the fire is more accessible if you need to add more charcoal either from the top by removing the grate, or even from the door. I just like the idea of having access to the fire. I also like the fact that it contains the coals more. I can't get past the flat charcoal pan of the Kick-Off. I'm wondering if anybody has any experience input on that.

[@BigLewBBQ]

I have both. Yes you can access the coals easier with the Cajun. However, the Kickoff is much less prone to flare ups. Because of this I actually prefer the Kickoff. Even so both are good grills.

[@butopiatoo]

Awesome review. I’m looking at a PK Hibachi but they are pricy. Why lodge stopped making the old sportsman is nuts.

[@BigLewBBQ]

@@butopiatoo the new sportsman is very good though. I recently did an updated review of it.

[@thegrumpyolgringo]

Great Hibachi grill. Great price, good size,. Like you said, it seems to be well built. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

[@rickcormier9160]

I like the design better than the Lodge Kickoff grill. Mainly because it holds the coals inside the bowl instead of on a flat bottom with no sides.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Good point.

[@freemelodie]

Big heart Man. Thanks for the honest review :)

[@wolffo999]

great review - I need one !

[@MrCastIron]

Pretty cool little rig right there Lew!

[@BigLewBBQ]

I like it similar to the sports man, but smaller, works well with round pots.

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

Man Lew your killing me with these cast iron grills buddy 😍 you are feeding my cast iron love fever. And this little charmer is seriously finding a place in my heart because of it’s small size. I bet Chris could make you a little square grate handler thingy for that draft door. He is quite the talented man who always says “I am not a blacksmith” yet the man can make anything and make it awesomely, I did enjoy watching this. And love your promoting Mom & Pop stores 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 what we all need to do God bless ya & your kiddos with all the fullness of his bounty brother 🙏🏻👍🏻😎

[@BigLewBBQ]

I like the small size. Chris makes cool stuff for sure.

[@emmadalrymple4102]

Pretty thorough review! Well done! If it means anything, I flunked algebra in 3 weeks, back in 1981, my senior year of high school. But I also ain't killed anyone with my cooking, lol. I am sorry 😐 to learn of your wife passing away. I'm a new subscriber. Good video for the first time triller...er...chef. 👍🏻👨‍🍳👩‍🍳🌭🍳🍔

[@thelivinlegend1]

Looks good. Glad there are alot of options out here in the Cast Iron Habatchi Grill Category. Thanks for sharing Big Lew!👍

[@BigLewBBQ]

Thank you for watching

[@smoking_bears_]

Wow that's a sweet little grill, I like it. Great review/walk around

[@Railroad_Bbq]

You can use the BHC as a hibachi grill as well.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Yes I know, it works well, but it is not cast iron, which has advantages and disadvantages.

[@tri-tipjunkie]

Great review I enjoy cooking on cast iron thanks for sharing.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Thank you sir.

[@BBQPITDOG]

Good review Big Lew. I learned a lot. I need something like this. Wish it wasn't bolted though....but I'm sure it will last for a very long time!

[@BigLewBBQ]

You could unbolt it. Lodge Sportsman’s come disassembled and is attached with Philips head screws and nuts. The philips head is more prone to stripping out than a bolt head, don’t you think?

[@BBQPITDOG]

@@BigLewBBQ I was just wondering how it will stand up to the heat. I'm sure they have that figured out. I really want to get a small grill and for the price I saw using your links I don't see any cons about it. I may order one soon and also look around here in the stores but the only small store is Ace Hardware...which I really like

[@BigLewBBQ]

@@BBQPITDOG You would like this one or the larger one.

[@BigLewBBQ]

@@BBQPITDOG the Lodge kick off isn’t bad either, but quite different from this and the sportsman.

[@Mahalalel3]

Yup, I am getting one after watching your review

[@BigLewBBQ]

It ain’t a bad little grill.

[@PaulieDetmurds]

This review makes me like it even more!

There's a shop in Texas selling these for 180$ for the hibachi grill and 80$ for the Crawfish pot that you got for 50$ ☹️ they are listed on the site as official sellers. Wondering if anyone in Texas knows we're they sell them for closer to retail price and not a huge mark up!

[@BigLewBBQ]

Sounds like way too much. Find somewhere else.

[@lornaz1975]

I like this grill. The feet on the grill grate are a little thin but the rest looks great!

[@BigLewBBQ]

I enjoy using it. It a small grill, they have a larger model too.

[@CWfist]

Nice review, I know my phone and computer and everything else is made there, and I would consider a Chinese made Hibachi, but I am concerned about lead content in the mix, I do not trust Chinese manufacturers to remove all traces of lead ( and other hazardous traces ) , the health of their customers is not their main interest, Didn't baby formula milk made in China had plastic in it not long ago ?

Use the phrase or the grill? I appreciate you stopping by! Thanks. Use either on you want.

[@floridadad2817]

I just bought one. They still advertise that their stuff is made in the US, but it's not. It's made in China now.

[@BigLewBBQ]

@@floridadad2817 I don’t recall them ever saing it was US made

[@floridadad2817]

@@BigLewBBQ Cajun Classic cookware advertises their stuff as made in St. Mamou, LA. May be a different company with same name.

[@BigLewBBQ]

@@floridadad2817 No, they are headquartered in Mamou. It is good company but the import stuff. The cool thing about their business is they only sell their merchandise through locally owned “mom & pop” type stores. No corporate permed retailers, big box stores. I have video where I visit their HQ in Mamou that explains this.

[@alirenfro2526]

And it’s locally made in China 🤣 Lodge is made in USA

[@BigLewBBQ]

Yep, I have own both lodges too, the Sportsman and Kick Off. I ordered them on line, I’ve had the Sportsman for about a decade now. I bought this foreign one, local.

[@mcmarshall12345]

China, No!

[@BigLewBBQ]

I have Lodge Sportsman’s grill, too. It is made in the USA. Back in 2012 I ordered it from Amazon. I purchased this Cajun Classic grill from a local shop owner in my town. I bought it from a real live person, a Veteran of the United States Military, I bought it in an actual brick and mortar store. Yes it was made in China, but it was purchased from a proud American that I spoke with face to face. Tell me kind sir, which is better? To buy something Asian made from a local mom and pop shop? Or to buy something American made and support a multinational corporation like Amazon, that all sells plenty of other stuff made in China? Yes, I wish it was American made, but I don’t make US labor laws. Even so it is made well, and Cajun Classic is 100% dedicated to selling their stuff in locally owned businesses. I have no regrets, about this purchase.

[@lawrencebecht660]

Too much babbling

[@BigLewBBQ]

Well watch the shorter one.

[@MercyMinister]

This looks like cheap Chinese crap. Is it? BTW, if it is Chinese cast iron, it is crap.

[@BigLewBBQ]

Yes it is Chinese made, imported by a company that only markets through locally owned businesses. I respect that a lot. It’s made well despite being made in China. It’s very likely that you viewed this video and typed your response on a device made in China or contains Chinese made parts. Thank you for viewing.
