Homemade Hibachi Grill
A hibachi grill is a small and inexpensive way to grill small amounts of food. They are much more convenient that a barbecue when you want to avoid dirtying a large grill for a small meal. Build your own for just a few dollars.
Items you’ll need:
- Bricks
- Chicken wire
- Charcoal
- Wire rack
- Pan
- Put four bricks on the ground to make a square that is about one foot by one foot. Although you can make it larger, it defeats the purpose of building a hibachi. Using smaller bricks make more sense that using something like a cinderblock. Once you lay down the four bricks, lay another one down on top on each of the four you already laid. Place a metal pan inside of the square.
- Place chicken wire on top of the bricks. It can hang over the bricks slightly without any issues. This will be where the charcoal will be kept. Make sure that the holes in the wire is not so large that the charcoal simply falls through. Although this will happen later as it ashes, it should not initially.
- Place four more bricks on the hibachi, one on each corner. This will keep the wire in place and create a platform for your wire rack. Once you put the bricks down, lay the rack on top of the hibachi.
- Light your charcoal using your matches and your hibachi is ready for use. When finished, you can take it apart if you wish.
