A Quick Hibachi

A Quick Hibachi 

I knew I had to make a quick, small grill. Don't ask me why..... Anyway I had 12 firebrick handy, some chicken wire and a small grate that my wife uses to cool fresh cake rounds. These grates are readily available and measure about one foot square. The fire bricks are 4.5 inches wide by 9 inches long.

If you stack four of them side by side you get a rectangle nine inches deep by 18 inches wide. You then stack two more on top of each end brick and cut a piece of chicken wire to lay over the top of these two mini-towers. Stack two more bricks on top of each tower. Now place the grate on top of the brick towers.

You can do this in about five minutes. The cooking surface will allow you to grill five hamburgers or two steaks or 10 hot dogs easily. It is very simple to build. Once the bricks have cooled you can take it apart and save the pieces for the next grill out!
