Pre-seasoned. Powerful. Built to Last.
True hibachi cooking is simple: glowing coals, great ingredients, and people gathered around the grill. Ember keeps that spirit while adding precision. Its solid cast-iron body acts like a miniature hearth—once hot, it stays hot—so steaks sear fast, yakitori cooks evenly, and vegetables pick up real charcoal character.
Dial in your cook with the front draft door and two grill-height settings. Need more fuel mid-session? The side charcoal door lets you top up without removing the grate. Compact enough for small outdoor spaces, tough enough for life on the road, and timeless enough to hand down.
What you’ll love
- Pre-seasoned & ready to cook: Natural oil seasoning; gets more non-stick with use—no synthetic coatings.
- Compact, efficient footprint: Ideal for 2–4 servings; sips charcoal and holds temperature.
- Add fuel without fuss: Side coal door for clean top-ups.
- Car-camp & balcony friendly: Rugged, stable, and easy to set up (check local rules for solid-fuel grills).
- All-weather workhorse: Cast iron shrugs off knocks that would crack ceramic.
Best for
- Yakitori, skewers, steaks, veggies, fish fillets, street-food style grilling.
- Balconies/patios with ventilation; car camping, beach, tailgates.
Care & safety
-
After cooking: While warm, scrape, wipe, light oil film; empty ash when cold and dry.
-
Storage: Dry location to prevent rust; re-oil after heavy scrubs.
-
Safety: Outdoor use only; keep on a heat-safe, stable surface; never leave unattended.
Cast iron vs. enameled ceramic
- Cast iron: Tough, lifetime-durable, superior crust and sear; needs light oil care.
- Enameled/ceramic: Cleaner look, easier wipe-down; can chip/crack if dropped.
Choose Ember if you value durability, heat density, and that deep, smoky sear.
