The maker mines its diatomite in the hills of Suzu. The body is built from insulating diatomite bricks, fired at high temperature and fitted together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiatomite is naturally porous, so the walls hold the heat inside the firebox. According to the maker, this lets you grill with at least 20% less charcoal than a grill lined with heavy firebrick, while the coals keep burning steadily — a style also found in yakitori shops in Japan.
