Question: what is the temperature of a hibachi grill

title: Hibachi
text: The traditional Japanese hibachi is a heating device and not usually used for cooking . In English , however , `` hibachi '' often refers to small cooking grills typically made of aluminium or cast iron , with the latter generally being of higher quality . Owing to their small size , hibachi grills are popular as a form of portable barbecue . They resemble traditional , Japanese , charcoal - heated cooking utensils called shichirin . It has been suggested that these grills were confusingly marketed as `` hibachi '' when they were introduced to North America because that word was easier than `` shichirin '' for English speakers to pronounce .
