Has anyone made Korean-type BBQ on this grill? If so, were you happy with the results?

Yes - numerous times. If you are looking to cook marinated short ribs and/or pork belly, this will be a good addition. It is especially good in draining the unwanted fat through the slots. Over the years, I've owned many versions of Zojirushi's grill systems and they are awesome! Hope this helps!

I've had my grill for a month now and have used it every weekend. Yes, the temp drops but it hasn't affected me much because grilling is all about cooking the food slowly, so be patient. I've made ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings, salmon, shrimp,veggies, etc and everything has turned out great. I keep telling my friends that an electric grill is the ONLY way to grill now...don't have to mess with charcoal and propane - LOVE IT!

We did Korean Shabu Shabu. The middle is where you put what flavors the broth, the outside is where you cook the fish, veg, meat that you eat. We put Garlic, Ginger, Scallions, Cilantro, Chili's & seaweed in the middle. Then we put sliced beef, shitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, noodles, other veg, fish & scallops in the big part. Broth was mainly beef stock, with a touch of chili oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, & shaoxing rice wine in. Amazing. So much fun & delicious. Start the broth, with the herbs in the middle early, well before you eat. It will take a while for the broth to cook with the herbs. Then set all the raw veg, & meats on the table. Everyone can help themselves by dipping what they want in the broth during dinner. Enjoy!!

I would say go with the cast iron, because that is what I have and it works very well. I bought a griddle and a regular new grate for my grill (both sides were old and very rusted and gross), and I must say that I am happy with both sides. Only thing that I don't care for is that it is made in China.

Received this grill for Christmas. I like it a lot, but noticed a tremendous amount of smoke coming out at the rim of the grill during cooking, and once I closed the top and bottom vents too. Charcoal would not extinguish and turned into ash. Lid was "out of round" by 5/12 of an inch. Was not a huge issue in cooking, but reusing partially burnt charcoal is a cost saver. Weber is sending new lid, and hopefully equally rounded to make a tight seal between lid and kettle. Is it just me or is the metal thinner and lighter (cheaper feeling) than my 15 year old Weber?

Spray the grates with vegetable oil and fire up the grill.The grates will be fine.This is the best grill I've ever owned. Tonight,I grilled corn,onions,baby back ribs and hamburgers.I love it.

We've never tried a BBQ grill, but I wouldn't think it wise. The surface is Formica-like. I wouldn't hesitate to use a Coleman stove, although we've never used it for that, either.

Yes! I've done it before but the burner on the right doesn't get as hot. I think I isolated much of my cooking to the left side.

I cooked directly on this grill. I don't know if it was the high heat or the act of burgers sitting on the metal, but the paint did come off - mostly where I cooked. I didn't notice it at the time. It wasn't until later when I cleaned the grill at home that I saw it. I have a fire ring out back. I think I'll build a good charcoal fire in it and let the grill bake a bit before I head out on my next trip. I love this grill, but yes, the paint can come off.

Hi Dana, I grilled twice and it was a lot of smoke too. Even I tuned to minimum gas, it still burned the meat. I am trying also figure out if there is better way to do it. On the same boat. Stephen

Thanks for replies. The burner is usually the first thing to rust out so I will look for a different grill.

The quality of the grill was very good. I bought extra components and it looks great! Could send a pix if you want

I agree with all the above comments. Its a learning process versus other BBQ but it is worth spending time learning how to make it work . I have been using mine for over a year and it keeps surprising me as wooooo this is good bbq. Easiest is steaks and hardest to do is chicken but once you get the wood/air/fan speed level combination the concept is amazing. I quit using my other barbecues. That's how good this is. (for example 2 faux filet Costco quality is about 10min of use from the start of the BBQ using 1 or 2 pcs of wood)

I have owned one for years. The one I bought recently was for our son-in-law who has a small bbq business. It is identical to what we have owned and we have been very pleased with this brand.
