User Reviews

After some of the cast iron junk I have bought from Asia, it is a pleasure to receive a product with excellent metallurgy and casting. Very well finished with all rough casting edges removed and being pre-seasoned allows usage without having to season it before first use. I have only one slight gripe. That is the emblem in the middle of the grill which does not really interfere with the grilling but does keep certain foods from receiving the grill lines from cooking. It is big enough to easely grill enough food for four or more people and the clean up is easy. Overall, I highly recommend this product for someone looking for a smaller grill with very good performance and high quality of manufacture. -- Beautifully make and works great

This thing is awesome! Just big enough to cook for a small get together, but small enough to fire up for just two. I currently have 8 different Weber Grill/Smokers - but I find I use this grill more than any of them. A handful of lump charcoal and this baby is good for at least 4 hours. Still learning different ways to cook with it, but this is much better than starting the range up in the hot summer. TheLodge Logic 5-Quart Pre-Seasoned Dutch Oven fits perfectly on top, and you could probably get two of them to fit without issue.

It's also nice to place in the center of the table and everyone can cook their foods on it, then after cook marshmallows. Food, Friends & Drink! Life is good...... -- Incredible Cast Iron Hibachi!

Took this little powerhouse camping and it BBQed everything excellent. It is a very well made grill, and it is very solid, not cheap at all. You get what you pay for. -- Great Little BBQ, and made in the USA

I read almost all of the reviews here before I ordered. I had to have it. It is a fun grill to use! She gets real hot and sears meat like only cast iron can.

Pros-
solid yet small. Not cavernous like my Weber kettle which wastes charcoal unless your cooking for an army
perfect for using kabob skewers. The stick hangs over the grill so you can turn with your fingers
I put it in my gas grill and can close the lid to keep the rain out. Great storage in a bigger grill
Gets super hot for searing
Love the flat grill top. you can put a fry pan right on top. If you leave off the grill top you can do a rotiseree right over the coals

Cons
you gotta clean it and prevent rust by cleaning and oiling
The vent sliding door is not attached so it can be lost or slide off the unit easily in moving. Plus, really who adjusts the air when cooking. Its either balls open or closed, I might leave it off
lots of nooks and crannies for grease to drip and gather, leaving some slop when mixed with coal ash.

All in all a great buy. Fun at home and camping. And for me, if your using your gas grill, it's quick and conveinant but not fun....a weekday thing. If your using charcoal, then it feels more like a weekend, it's special..your really grilling -- Slick grill

I have been using a lava rock gas grill for the past 26 years, but got tired of having to buy a sub-standard Chinese made low quality stainless steel H-burner every year for around 55 dollars. The original H-burner lasted for about a dozen years before finally giving out. The replacement burners will last about one season. So, I figured I would go back to our original Hibachi grill. The ones that looked like the old 1970's grills are also made overseas, and are of poor quality. Enter the Lodge Grill (made in the USA). This thing is built like a Sherman tank, and will probably outlast me. I've used it three times and now know why so many people give it 5 stars. At first, I was a little put off because there were only two heights to have the grilling surface at. But guess what? You only really need two heights. I only use the highest level, since it works for burgers, steaks, or chicken. I also bought a quick start charcoal chimney. Within ten minutes of deciding I want to grill dinner, I have my food on the grill. I still miss the convenience of my gas grill, but am perfectly happy with this charcoal grill. Another nice point to make is that the Lodge grill fits inside my old gas grill, so I have a way of covering the grill to give my food a little extra smokey flavor. Also, it always bothered me to be done cooking and still have a nice bed of coals burning, so I got creative. When the meat is done, I toss on a bunch of raw peanuts (in the shell). By the time we are done eating, so are the peanuts. Roasted to perfection, I might add. You won't be sorry that you bought this grill, especially since it's now well below the $107 that I paid for it. One last thing; cleaning out the ashes is a snap. The day after using the grill, I simply lift out the grate and dump the spent coals in the garden. They tend to hold their shape and not drop into the bottom of the firebox. -- My two cents worth
