How to Build the Ultimate Hibachi Grill for $20 | ChefSteps

[@wheatthicks]

Videos like this always make me nervous when they don’t specify to use firebrick. Most people don’t know there’s a difference or why it’s important.

[@soniCron]

Came here to say this. Careful, y'all.

[@BlazePiffington]

Somebody pin this comment, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

[@chalaron]

These look like landscaping pavers which is a terrible idea.

[@lithmire]

Exactly the comment I was looking for! Exploding bricks will definitely ruin your day

[@AhmadIzzJ]

They did specify it for the earlier use when they built a pizza oven. As this is a continuation of that video, and it's the same type of brick already, they didn't mention it. Which they should anyway.

[@BlanketBCSociety]

Just came across your video as I am in Hokkaido Japan right now and earlier I was shopping for some Hibachi’s to bring back to Canada after my long visit. Now, after watching your video, I’m going to save over $1200! THANK YOU!!! You are all invited to my next BBQ! Come visit me in Vancouver, BC, Canada! Love your channel and website!

I am original Kick Starter Joule owner and you folks keep impressing me with the food and the tech. You never rest and you are always innovating.

[@bered4894]

what‘s up with those joule memes

[@VashTown]

I love these kinds of cooking videos. They're entertaining even if I have no plans to emulate.

[@chefsteps]

We love making them!

[@adammoore7447]

Great content. I've eaten Adana kebabs in (Adana) Turkey, yakitori in Japan, satays in Thailand, and anticuchos in Peru...Yes, direct heat grilling skewers is one of the best ways to cook.

[@XTwoHandzX]

I cant help but have concerns about the safety of using bricks not intended for high heat or cooking since they might give off random heavy metal gasses, are there recommended types of bricks for these?

[@fsho5260]

exactly what I was thinking

[@budus2]

You should always use fire bricks anyway, because they don't break in high temperature. These bricks are used for building ovens for bread or pizza, so you don't need to worry.

[@shashankbj3804]

Quite literally the same risks are involved with a regular hibachi, Except maybe the risk of you walking into one and toppling it all over ...but yeah its equal caution for both the set ups

[@lgadrian7989]

Genius way to put resources together at a reasonable price, and thank you for sharing

[@alexandersalz5850]

if you got another 10 bucks you can buy a terracotta windowbox that is manufactured at high temperatures looks beautiful and is still enough if you only cook for 2-4 people :) highly reccomend custom grillage just get one with a fine mesh in the highest quality non-coated chrome steel. just wield it to metal rod u bend to shape. u cant buy those i came up with that design xd also there a ventilation/wateringslot at the bottom u might wanna cover that with a piece of mesh and place everything on heat insulating stone. buit the cool thing about this is u can heat it outside then place the entire thing inside your home since its so small it doesnt give up that much heat also nice in the winter ^^(but carefull dont burn your house have a bucket of water around at all times haha.. and in general i cant recommend to make a fir inside your home xD that said its definitely a highlight to have a coalgrill on the dinnertable^^ just be carefull haha) if you wanna smoke anthign jsut throw in a hand full of dried herbs it doesnt get any better :DD found a windowbox with a n olive leaf looks like an authentic ancient italian grill nonna might have used at her kitchenwindowxd propably never happened but you know feels legit haha for like 50 bucks total haha in my opinnion even better than the expensive japanese one !:)

[@Rangerboy030]

Next DIY project: A counter/table that is strong and heat resistant enough to put the hibachi/pizza oven on so you aren't screwing your back while cooking.

[@keithhepworth4934]

I built the Chef Steps pizza oven and my family loves it. I just might have to try this one

[@jeev4divine]

Thanks guys, this is similar to my brainstorm for grill of bricks! But designed on bare sandy ground. Cooks quick and dual use as small firepit! Thanks for validating! Other folks just laughed at my creation.

[@crushivintage]

Looks great! I love this new channel. Lots of great ideas, great demonstrations and killer cinema. Also there is a dog chilling in the b/g.

[@kousakasan7882]

I have been using $30 worth of clay bricks as a bbq for over 10 years now. I arrange the brick depending on what I am grilling that day. Most of the time, it's a large square because I love Korean bbq. I use clay because those concrete bricks you are using can explode and cause serious injury.

[@lewismaddock1654]

Pretty Genius. Have both a pizza oven and a hibachi grill for a total of $30, that's a bargain. Too bad there wasn't a Joule ad on this video, I would've bought it from all the money I'm saving.

[@goffe2282]

Joule requires a smart phone to even function last I checked so it's a no go no matter how good it is. If you can't even turn on a sous vide machine and set the temperature without a smart phone then it's broken by design. .... maybe they have fixed it... my initial disappointment has meant that I have just not looked at Joule for a while.

[@frodothehobo9938]

@@goffe2282 tbh i don't hate joule and i think sous vide is overrated. chef steps is ultimately a business, they exist to make money. these youtube videos are free for you, they have to put out a profitable product to keep their staff employed

[@fizzpop6543]

@@goffe2282 for you that may be but I'd rather have no interface on the sous vide device itself. It's more things to go wrong and extra bulk. You're relying on electronics to set temp either way, I'd rather there were less on the device itself since it's in a hot humid environment.

[@davidlin7714]

Just a thought, you probably shouldn't have the "cold zone work station" next to the "serving zone" if you need to put the food into the "high heat" zone. Juices from the raw meat (such as from chicken) could drip onto the "serving zone" food when you're going grill.

[@chefsteps]

Very good point! Thanks for the tip!

[@neiloppa2620]

Where do you think would be the best place to move it? Would it be to the right of the hottest section?

[@SoyandPepper]

You guy’s content have become so good!

[@Vayxes]

There was an episode of good eats where Alton brown made almost this exact thing, but it was for kabab

[@Ishiisan]

spelled Hibachi (He Bachi) in English but they keep saying Habachi. lol He (fire) Bachi (bowl). I love this idea! using metal skewers are no-no

[@zarblitz]

It's unsurprising that "hib" would morph into "heb" or "hob" in American English, particularly when the "he" syllable has no meaning to someone who does not speak Japanese. The short "o" or "e" vowel sounds are much easier to make then the short "i" vowel sound and people will get lazy and change the vowel.

[@markfleser]

It’s all fun and games until someone looses an eye when a paver explodes.

[@jeffward1106]

Crilly needs his own sitcom 😅❤

[@grantcrilly3525]

I agree:)

[@sameotoko]

So, since I can't afford binchotan, would this work with Kingsford?

[@mrpawka]

and now I want an actual Hibachi Grill

[@jimmylee8368]

High temp such as this can run the risk of paver bricks and regular thin concrete slab to explode. Thats why pizza oven uses fire bricks.

[@jamiebeard8142]

What kind of bricks are these fireproof or regular?

[@theimben]

Id hazard a guess at fireproof

[@Nos2113]

If you want it to last, yes, firebrick

[@Zipfei_Kloatscher]

Pro tip: Get the ones that are not fireproof. 🙂👍🏼

[@blex5579]

since i already built by own cold smoker out of an old fridge, i am intrigued... ;)

[@chefsteps]

Go for it!

[@hardcorehunter7162]

could do it cheaper with just a hole in the ground you dump coals in. Like some sort of pit but its used for grilling.

[@RaymondChenon]

Great to see John Wick teach us how to build a Hibachi grill :)

[@nickyang1143]

Hmmmm not sure when ur using binchotan that costs $30 per grill sesh

[@kanivakil198]

You look like a Keanu Reeve multiverse version.

[@ivegotheblues]

Does the bricks become very hot? Like you can't put the hand near?

[@chefsteps]

The bricks do get hot. Be careful!

[@AppleBearKitchen1999]

Great video! I learned a lot.

[@ratmondC]

Set off the ground to prevent weakening your steel rebar in the concrete floor

[@onooooooooooo]

If you guys filmed this where I think you filmed this, then this video is actually hilarious and kind of punk rock. Was this filmed where it very much looks like it was filmed? Was Dave from maintenance bribed during the filming of this?

[@kylhaselbauer6783]

Ohh. We filmed this right out the front door.. floor 3 Pike Place Market.. WITH approval of course.

[@FountainOfYoot]

I need a lead on that green cap too! :)

[@bounceeer]

Damn, you guys invented something that people used to do for thousands of years! Amazing work!

[@msdliw9616]

Idk I still feel like using a terracotta pot would be easier and cheaper

[@chalaron]

Using landscaping pavers is a terrible idea. When one of them explodes you’ll be having a bad time.

[@ushermarce]

In this video Keanu Reeves explaining diy barbecue tip 😊

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Cool concept🎉

[@coleholden8640]

This guy's mannerisms/facial expressions/way he talks makes me think of a drunk Jeff witteck

[@dutchr4zor]

How much does it matter to use actual binchotan coals? Since people started putting them in their drinking water a detoxing thing they cost 10$ a piece over here.

[@chefsteps]

We highly recommend binchotan but check out are ultimate guide on coals! www.chefsteps.com/activities/charcoal-more-than-just-burnt-wood

[@willcookmakeup]

Yeah I've been having a really hard time finding it affordably. Might need to find a local Japanese market

[@WelfareChrist]

this looks really cool but I'm not gonna spend more on the binchotan than the food i'm cooking, and living outside Japan the stuff is ridiculously expensive.

[@prorastanate4665]

What can i use as the groundpiece?

[@opuntina]

Yakatori or hibachi?

[@OldGleebis]

Isn’t this a Yakitori grill? Hibachi is what they have at Benihana

[@danf4447]

it looks like a frank lloyd wright house.

[@carlvincent12]

Is there a specific type of brick to use for this?

[@anomalousresult]

Firebrick, fire brick, or refractory brick is what you're looking for. Ordinary building brick might explode.

[@RiyadAbouJaoudeh]

Why on the floor.. save ur backs and use a stand/table

[@JordanNHoule]

GUYS!!!! I can’t explain what joy it brings me that you made this… LET ALONE, purposefully out of the pizza oven bricks! ❤🎉🤯

[@asian2828]

It's called a "konro grill" guys. Hibachi is a flat top grill. Thanks!

[@Makked463]

Hibachi is just a fire box. Teppanyaki or teppan, is an iron play or griddle. Although in the US, “hibachi” style is basically teppanyaki.

[@asian2828]

[@YoukuroKageStudios]

That’s yakitori, hibachi grills as a teppanyaki.

[@CCL13CN]

ChefSteps you might want to explore into something called "Portable Charcoal Grills" made for lamb skewers. The name is weird because it is mainly targeting Chinese customers. Some related video could be found on KZbin too: kzbin.info3JfFni6kpUc Mentioning this because it is already made product, which apparently is more expensive than bricks but at least not several hundreds. It achieves similar results, is easier to use, just not having a fancy name. I personally have done some grilling with hibachi and this kind of grill. Result-wise, there's no difference. Hibachi is somewhat easier to operate, but also slower.

[@goyo1352]

It’s actually 400$ for yakitori grill

is it me or what he kinda looked like keanu for abit

[@-Scotty]

Using a concrete slab on the base? It can explode as well as those bricks! 0/10

[@tangjams]

Please listen to this man….. At the very least a layer of firebrick on top of the concrete slabs. Then perhaps another layer of sand as the base for the charcoal. Or another option, look for taobao versions of stainless steel yakitori grills with refractory brick lining.

[@karohemd2426]

Er, one of the major points of a konro is that it's portable. This isn't.

[@chefsteps]

Actually this packs down smaller than a konro! You just need a bucket or cart to put your bricks in

It is obvious that the man is very creative and has created a narrow grill based on bricks. Alright. It works, but don't call it HIBASHI GRILL. Be creative and give it another name. A little respect for the traditional crafts of the countries.
