I don't see a downside.

Many years ago I had a hibachi about that size. Cooked well and just
the right size for one or two people. This should be the same.

Same here Ed, and the hibachi really did do a great job. I had thought about
buying one of these Lodge grills but the shipping charges were through the
roof.

Glad you pointed to the link, never thought to look there. I tried a
small gas grill but haven't liked it at all, only bought it because I
couldn't find a more trad hibachi at the time. Put it on my wish
list for after Xmas - thanks again

I have purchased many hibachis over the years. They were all cheap and highly biodegradable i.e., they just fell apart after a while. If you don't mind cooking on these small things then it's probably worth the price. On this rock these small grills have been more popular than the big grills used on the mainland - because everything over here stay small.

My has a friend who had a son the killed himself with a hibachi a year ago. Hibachis are commonly used as an instrument of suicide over here and in Asia. My guess is that could become a trend on the mainland too. Be on the lookout for that one...

I have zero desire to kill myself and I was finally "given" a dual
burner (lava rocks) Sears propane grill to cook on next Summer.

I was jes curious about this Lodge Sportsman stove. I've tossed a half
dozen hibachis, as the one's currently being sold are complete junk.
Made of pressed sheet metal and jes about useless. So useless, in fact,
it's hard to even find one, anymore. OTOH, I do NOT remember them
costing $85USD (as high as $105USD). Even the better "cast" one's.

It's an interesting and unusual hibachi because of its of heavier build and high price tag. It could be a good deal if it doesn't fall apart for the rest of your life i.e., more than 20 years.

Yes, I'd be happy if I lived 20 more yrs (90). Also, would like it if
the Sportsman lasted that long. My Wagner is certainly older than me.

I seem to recall I ran across Lodge's offering about the last time I was
looking fer a hibachi. As I remember, it was less that $50, then.
Hibachi's --when you could find one-- were about $4-$7. I finally found
a pressed steel one fer about $7. I didn't buy it. 8|

You'd be lucky if those sheet metal ones lasted until your next birthday.

When I last went looking for the old fashioned, no name hibachi, none
were around. I can only say I have a small cast iron fying pan, made
by Lodge, and it is as sturdy as the big ones I have of unknown
name/age.

I have a Lodge dutch oven for bread baking, bought long before that
arsehole in the White House screwed us with illegal tariffs. There were
cheaper Chinese knockoffs but you never know what they chuck in their
furnaces.

I hadn't thought of that, the tariffs. So I won't get one until they
are off. I already only buy French ketchup after what Heinz did to
our farmers after their crop was growing and I see Canadian dairies
are processing a logo which will go on all dairy products to guarantee
that they are pure Canadian. I don't want milk from cows fed hormones
etc.

I been looking at those, also. Tried to make some bread in my Le
Creuset "Big Orange". Didn't come out. More of an elevation thing than
a cooking vessel thing. I'm trying a new recipe.

Now, now! Let's not get all "political" in this thread. We all know
the "testicle dipped in Cheeto dust" (or "Orange sphincter", as he is
sometime called) is jes an aberration of half this country.

Gotta get out there and vote! (unless it will put you on the jury duty
rolls.

My parents had a cast iron hibachi years ago. I don't know if it was
Lodge brand but it worked very well. The cast iron holds the heat
beautifully.

Amazon 85 bucks free shipping. Good deal.

I have this from cabelas. 99 bucks. Had it for 10 years. I use it for nascar tailgates. Propane so it cools quick. They both..yours.. look good. For my uses, propane is the seller. I have a 5 burner Charbroil grill at home. That is needed for a crowd. The only charcoal is a water smoker from Brinkman. It seldom gets used. Got sick of looking at it all...day...long.

I may toss your item in the cart.

My Lodge fry pan ****es me off. It is not smooth, it has a jillion raised lumps to make it season better. I call bs. Used it yesterday. The lid has lumps to allow drippage. A waste of iron.
