    My hibachi came with me from Japan. I use twigs and larger for fire. When the meat is done, and the fire's burned out, I simply remove the wooden handled grills and dump the ashes. The grill base also has wooden handles. SO! 1grill base and 2 adjustable height racks. Used this hibachi since 1964. A lot! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
    BTW..hibachi is what it IS. 😊 The description became the brand name.

  • @csr326
    @csr326 Před rokem +5

    Great video.
    Why did Lodge change the design. The realistic answer is because they made it cheaper to manufacture. There are only 3 pieces to be make, instead of 7 pieces with the old one (including the bail handle)
    I have this model but always use my lodge sportsman grill. Hopefully they bring back the LSG

    • @MrCastIron
      @MrCastIron  Před rokem +1

      Thank you! I’m gonna say you are right because it just makes financial sense to reduce the number of castings from 7 to 3. I wish they would have kept the bail handle, but the hooks work too! Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with us, my friend!!

      @@canoestripper502 How do I know? I am 74 years old now and I have bought Lodge cast iron items since I was in my 20's. My mother-in-law gave me my piece..an Lodge 8" skillet. I still have it. This brand has stood the test of time of wear and how it cooks food. I also have my favorite brand of stainless steel cookware. I also have used it for 50 years and it still looks new. I have a large family so my cookware was used a lot.

    Nice video! I just got the Pro Grill too. I've enjoyed the old style but these are some nice upgrades to the design. Easier to empty and the venting is better. Great point on watching how much charcoal you use; I've seen videos where people use too much and complain about how close the charcoal is to the cooking surface. It does save on the amount of charcaol you need to use. You got me to subscribe!

    • @MrCastIron
      @MrCastIron  Před rokem

      Thank you Vince!! I agree some things were needing a change but some things didn’t. I would like to see a better way to carry or move it around. The old style with a bail handle was cool but it wasn’t balanced. Other than that I’m happy with mine.

    you would have been better off drop bolt down from above, nut and washer underneath. while unpridictble, you might one day want to disassemble. bolting the way you did, heat and grime from use will make it impossible short of braking the bolt.

    Hey thanks for the video im thinking about picking up one of these. Is there anyway you can do an update video on this ? Also when I season it do you have to rub the entire grill down with oil including the coal basket ?

    • @MrCastIron
      @MrCastIron  Před 10 měsíci +2

      You're welcome anytime, my friend. I would make sure it's oiled because it is cast iron. That will help stop any rust from forming.

  • @russbear31
    @russbear31 Před 2 lety

    Great review of the Sportsman's Grill. I will have to try your recipe for sautéed radishes. Years ago I remember seeing a recipe by another CZcamsr for oven-baked radishes. She said it was the only way she could get her kids to eat them and like them. Apparently, when they're cooked it tames the flavor and they're more mild. A raw radish can have a harsh, peppery bite to it. Cooking mellows it out.

    • @MrCastIron
      @MrCastIron  Před 2 lety +1

    Perhaps expansion and contraction reasons for 2 bolts instead of 4? And I think is should have had a replaceable bottom grate like the previous one as the most ware will occur there. As it is now, the whole grill body is shot if the charcoal grate fails.

      That's cool! I bet you were surprised to get that early present! I also have the older model of this grill, and the grill cover fits these, too, from what I understand. Unfortunately, I don't have a cover, but maybe I should get one. The only thing really is a little time as far as cooling down the grill. After we cooked in the video, it didn't take all that long, maybe 30 minutes to an hour, and it was ready to put away.

    I like the old version better, I also like to use the Weber little Smokey grill the advantage to that is it has a lid to allow smoking the meat it saves charcoal because you put the cover on grill and when your done and use the charcoal again unlike the Lodge Sportsman grill

    The biggest question I have is about the grill cooking surface. My “original” sportsman grill has the flat surface up vs the new has the flat surface down. I grill a lot of salmon, cod, and halibut. Up vs down changes the grill temp considerably. I’m concerned about how the new grill will do with delicate seafood that will fall apart when I have to turn over to cook the other side. I like that there is more cooking surface area, but I’m not convinced that turning the grill “upside down” was a good decision! Does anybody have any thoughts or related experience?

    • @MrCastIron
      @MrCastIron  Před rokem

      I don’t use lighter fluid to start charcoal, but you can soak a couple of paper towels with bacon grease and place the charcoal on and around it. Light the paper towels, and that will help to light the charcoal.

    You can still get a new "old" Sportsman Grill from Lodge. They still sell all of the parts for the old version individually, and I just ordered all 9 pieces, including the cover, from their website. Today is the last day for their summer savings coupons, and with the coupon added I got mine for $144 plus tax and free delivery. It's an option if someone wants the old style but doesn't want to pay the criminal prices on eBay that sellers are trying to get.
