Cast Iron HibatchiWritten by Ross MacIver
Hibatchis are some of most popular types of barbecue available. Their small size makes them suitable for outside areas which don't have space for large gas barbecues. In addition, they are popular for camping and picnics. A cast-iron hibatchi offers same great taste as a regular barbecue with only disadvantage of being able to cook less food at a time.A cast-iron brazier uses charcoal has its fuel source. Most hibatchis have two areas for holding coals, so it's easy to cook a variety of food and keep it warm. The multi-level grilling surfaces allow you to cook food at almost any temperature -- if you need a lot of heat, simply lower grill, and if you need less heat simply position it at top. Hibatchis are great for outdoor cooking almost anywhere. They can be used on patio, on a terrace, at a camping site, or in your back garden. Since they are small, fire is easily contained, and open flames only last for a few minutes until charcoal has ignited. Still, a certain amount of caution has to be used when cooking on a charcoal hibatchi. Their light weight has advantage of making them portable, but also disadvantage of making them easy to overturn. For maximum safety, never use a hibatchi on a flammable surface like a wooden deck.
