Hibachi Tabo

Hibachi Tabo makes Japanese-style charcoal grills that are designed and built in Australia. Each one is 2mm 304 stainless steel lined with 25mm ceramic bricks, which hold the heat and radiate it evenly, with adjustable vents at each end to run the fire. Load it with binchotan and you get fierce, clean heat for yakitori, wagyu, seafood and veg, right at the table.

We stock the range: the Compact for two, the Classic with Aussie hardwood handles, the all-stainless Classic Pro, and the Commercial and Commercial-Wide for restaurants and big crowds. Then the accessories that make it sing: yakitori rails for every size, the Heavy Duty SS Mesh Grill, 30cm stainless flat skewers, the Table Protector Tray, the Commercial Utility Tray and the Grill Press.

Light binchotan in a chimney, lay it in, and cook skewers just above the coals. Try it with our honey chipotle skewers or lamb backstrap, and find more fuel in charcoal. Delivery Australia-wide or click & collect in Brunswick.

FAQs

Is Hibachi Tabo Australian made?
Yes. Hibachi Tabo grills are designed and built in Australia.

Which Hibachi Tabo size should I buy?
The Compact for two, the Classic for a family table, and the Commercial or Commercial-Wide for restaurants, catering or big crowds.

What charcoal should I use?
Binchotan. It burns hot and clean with very little smoke, and lasts for hours. Light it in a chimney first, then lay it into the grill.

Can I cook on the table with a Hibachi Tabo?
Hibachi Tabo says the insulated Classic body lets you cook directly on the table without damage. A table protector tray adds peace of mind.

Can I put a lid on it?
Yes. The Extension System & Hood adds a riser and oven hood with a temperature gauge, so you can roast, steam and smoke. There are Classic and Commercial versions.

What's the difference between the Classic and the Classic Pro?
Same 485 x 160 mm grill. The Classic Pro swaps the timber handles and feet for all-stainless fittings, built for commercial kitchens.

Do I need a yakitori rail?
For skewers, yes. It holds them just above the coals so they cook evenly without sticking. The Compact includes one.

How do I clean it?
Let it cool, tip out the ash, and wipe the stainless body. Hibachi Tabo electropolishes the steel to make cleaning easy, and every part can be replaced.
