Start saving the pickle juice from your used pickle jars. Soak your chicken in it for a couple hours to overnight in the fridge. It's fantastic! Chick-fil-A uses pickle juice as well. Enjoy!
Will try it
Love it what a good idea pal.
Thanks for watching.
This was Great! Will for sure try to make one now for myself! 😁
You can just get a long catering stainless steel container for the same thing and line it
Go for it!
Heya Tom. Thanks for these videos. I've bought some fire bricks and was about to dive into making a hibachi from these, but this seems like this is a much easier, lighter and more adjustable solution. Thank you! :) I currently have a cheap hibachi that I'm pretty sure is made from a mix like this, but seems to be plastered with a thin clay slip maybe? Do you have any ideas about this? Recipes for the slip maybe? I'm also looking for a solution that would enable me to control airflow. Any suggestions? Cheers :)
Nice vid, vermiculite and perlite work so well for this.. Have you tried brineing your chicken? Just immerse in a sugar and salt solution for half a day or more really improves the natural flavours. As a keen Yakatori cook one thing that I've learnt which has also helped me immensely is cutting up the chicken into smaller chunks ramping up the surface area and flavour density plus it cooks quicker and more evenly with less chance of drying out which you sometimes get with charcoal since unlike wood and gas you're not getting that moisture with the heat.
Good tips! Thanks
The reason you would have the holes in it is for air flow. It really is meant to held on longer cooks were you need to maintain the heat for a long time. Also it made cleaning easier.
This is exactly what I've been searching for. Great job, and thanks for showing your failures too. I've been cooking over charcoal for years, and you definitely need way more in there. I want to make one about half the length of yours, but I think your height is spot on. I'll also make a frame as suggested by Joe Legrand below. In fact, it probably makes sense to weld/rivet the frame together, build the melamine box outside it, then cast the perlite mix for a perfect fit. Also, if you add some draft to your internal form it will come out easier. Looking forward to further updates.
Sounds awesome! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Good job. Don't worry about the depth of the sides. You can raise the coals on a grid. This helps the breathing.
You want a slow cook with chicken anyway.
The skewers are exactly what I use I use thighs and use two skewers per thigh to stop the twisting and I don't like handling chicken all the time in the prep stages.
I like the look of the perlite but I use vermiculite. 5 part vermiculite one part sand and 2 part cement.
Thanks for watching and the feedback.
If you feel your Hibachi is too deep, just fill it with sand. Traditional Hibachis are often just a layer of sand in a sheet metal box, inside a wooden cabinet. Totally authentic.
Great tip! Thanks! Love learning from others.
Yay!
Thanks for watching
How about some expanded steel on the bottom as a grid to raise your charcoal a bit and get more airflow under your coals? Otherwise a really nice project.
Thanks will try that!
The point of the heat retaining walls and lack of airflow is to use less coal for longer cooking. That's why it's so popular in street vendors
Good videos man, and great idea, if you would add sand what would you think the ratio for the mix be?
Not sure I’m afraid. Try adding 1 part sand and do a test brick...
I am going to judge you. I think you are one of those guy that could get lost in the jungle, found ten years later, in a tree house codo, living off the land & doing fine job of it.
You have a well insulated fire so you should not need as much heat/fire as a metal frame.
I am thinking of making it with an outside metal frame mold, that I never remove, because I do not want to drop it & break it. Great Job thinks for sharing.
Good idea. I was out of angle iron so didn’t do that.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the video, I don't have a lot of space and this project will definitely come in handy when building a braai (barbeque) area that does not take up too much space. Have you tried making a fire in this? What will the effects be? Will it crack? I also see you used a wooden table, did the hibachi leave a burn mark?
It works well.
It did get warm but not hot
I put two bits of wood under the hibachi just in case but it didn’t get hot enough to leave any marks.
I use the bain Marie and lined with the perlite mixture.
The stainless steel will last forever and I braai a lot in the very limited space I have.
Hey Brother! Awesome vid, I’ll be making this. Your thoughts on ‘plaster paris / sand and water mix vs perlite’?? Have you tried plaster, sand as an insulator? They plaster mix for home made foundry’s / forges.
I haven’t tried those combos but I’m interested in how it would turn out.
@@foodrelated Apparently perlite and plaster of paris is used together, instead of cement as a binder. I look forward to more of your experiments and future models.
I use vermiculite and sand
5parts vermiculite
2parts cement
1part sand
Have a pizza oven that 6 years old and no cracks.
Just allowed the dome to dry for 2 weeks and very very slowly made little fires to dry completely.
Water is the enemy in the beginning

HAHA thanks!
It look like little russian mangal for shashlyk
Imamazed how steady your girl is with that camera
Well trained!
you should put some charcoal on top of the burning charcoal. Nice video, im hungry now
Thanks for watching
Can the finished product be cut easily?
Probably
Chicken yakitori hehehe.. Is there a beef yakitori?
please tell me the composition recipe for the object
Watch the previous video
Excellent grilling but quite high for hibachi….
I agree. Changes have been made to the latest version.

How are you going to clean up the charcoal ash?
Tip it out...!😁
It’s not heavy.
Just don't use briquettes and the ashes will be under control.
