[Only a few left] Japanese Diatomite Konro Grill / BQ22 / 92cm (36.2") / Yakitori Charcoal

Professional Long Konro for Authentic Yakitori & Kushiyaki

This extra-long Japanese konro grill (BQ22) is designed for professional yakitori and kushiyaki cooking, featuring a traditional diatomite (珪藻土) construction for superior heat performance.

With its extended 92 cm length, it allows chefs to grill a large number of skewers simultaneously, making it ideal for restaurants, catering, and serious charcoal cooking enthusiasts.

Why a Noto Diatomite Konro?

This konro is made in Suzu, at the tip of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa, Japan, where diatomaceous earth is mined and where the city's tourism site lists diatomite konro grills among its local specialties. 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.

Diatomite 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. Paired with Kishu binchotan, it gives the steady, even heat that Japanese charcoal grilling depends on.

Save on shipping: add a replacement mesh to the same order. Shipping is calculated on the total weight of the order, so it costs much less than ordering a mesh separately later.

Notes

Due to the nature of diatomite material, minor surface variations or hairline cracks may occur.

Handle with care to avoid impact damage.

Do not pour water on the grill (diatomite absorbs water and becomes brittle).

Safety: Charcoal gives off carbon monoxide, so at home use the grill outdoors only. Restaurants: indoor use needs a solid-fuel exhaust system approved by your local fire authority (this grill is not NSF or UL certified). Full safety and care notes are in our konro guide.
