The ultimate "Steak Machine". Authentic cast iron searing power, built to last a lifetime.
Why settle for flimsy tin BBQs that rust out in one summer? The Ember Cast Iron Hibachi is built like a tank and designed for the serious outdoor cook. Whether you're at the campsite, the bach, or just on your back deck, this grill delivers the high-heat retention that thin steel grills simply can't match.
Key Features:
-
The Perfect Sear: Cast iron holds heat incredibly well. This means you get that restaurant-quality crust on your steaks and burgers, locking in the juices.
-
Built for NZ Outdoors: Unlike fragile ceramic hibachis that can crack in the back of the ute, the Ember is 100% rugged cast iron. It’s compact enough to carry but heavy enough (10.5kg) to stay stable in the wind.
-
Efficiency & Control: The flip-down door allows you to add charcoal without moving the food, and the adjustable draft door gives you precise temperature control.
-
Ready to Cook: Comes pre-seasoned, so you can start grilling right out of the box.
Ideal For:
-
Searing thick steaks & lamb chops.
-
Yakitori style skewers.
-
Camping trips & Bach weekends.
-
Small patios or balconies.
