Hi there - I see from the search engine that this has not been brought up so far, so as this relates to cooking, thought to post in this forum. We have a portable habachi grill which we bought from one of our local camping stores. I would be interested if anyone has any experience with cooking and using for outdoor fire just to keep you warm? Would you use it exactly as a wood burning BBQ or with heatbeads? I have googled for recipes and "how to cook on" but only come up with Japanese-type recipes and then only a very limited selection. Our choice of this type of BBQ/Grill was solely for space efficiency and something that not only helps to feed us but warm us at the same time!! We have a campervan (Coromol Silhouette) and Ford Territory, so space efficiency is important to us and we really did not want to travel with a 44g drum!! Our main source of cooking will be on our great little Webber Baby Q which has served us well for several years!
Mucho thanks
Lib

I just wanted to reply as no else has yet. I have never heard of this. So I did a search...
Habachi Chicken and Rice.
for the hibachi chicken 1 -1 1/2 lb chicken breast 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil 1 tablespoon butter 3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 dash salt 1 dash pepper for the hibachi vegetables 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil 1 large white onion 1 large zucchini 1 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 dash salt 1 dash pepper for the hibachi fried rice 4 cups cooked rice (cool to the touch) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup white onion 1 cup bean sprouts 2 large eggs 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons soy sauce for the hibachi bean sprouts 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon soy sauce 3 cups bean sprouts
Directions:
1 Note: Cook the rice first, so that it has time to cool down before you fry it. Cook the chicken and veggies at the same time in two separate skillets or woks. Make sure to keep the chicken and veggies warm while you cook the fried rice and bean sprouts. 2 Hibachi Chicken. 3 Cut the chicken breast up into bit sized pieces. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok on medium high heat. Add the chicken, soy sauce, butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink. 4 Note: Do not clean skillet. You will reuse this skillet for the fried rice. 5 Hibachi Veggies. 6 Cut the white onion into slivers. Quarter the zucchini. Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok on medium high heat. Add the white onion, zucchini, butter, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Sauté veggies for 6-8 minutes or until veggies are tender. 7 Note: Do not clean skillet, you will use the same skillet for the bean sprouts. The oil that is left over will be used for the bean sprouts. 8 Hibachi Fried Rice. 9 Chop the onion. Heat vegetable oil on medium high in large skillet or wok (use the skillet or wok you cooked the chicken in earlier). Add the onion and sauté. Sauté onion for 3-4 minutes or until almost tender enough to eat. Add the bean sprouts. Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Move the vegetables to the side of the pan. Add the eggs, lightly scramble as you add them to the skillet. Once scrambled add the rice and butter. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the soy sauce and cook an additional minute. 10 Hibachi Bean Sprouts. 11 Melt the butter in a large skillet or wok (use the skillet or wok that you cooked the veggies in earlier). Add the soy sauce and bean sprouts. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
There are recipes out there, but hard to find ones that are not Japanese specific. I guess once you become familiar with the cooking, you will be able to adapt quite a few recipes for it. Sorry I cant help you more.
Thanks Grams and Poppy - will try the chicken and rice and see how it goes. Guess I will do the "trial and error" system of cooking and see how it goes. There is just something special about cooking on an open fire.
cheers
