    Korean, Thai Charcoal Table Top BBQs - wok style

    Hello All,

    Firstly, remember that this post is in the "General Chat" section that has a waiver that "all most anything goes"...

    Anyway, some months ago Stan Grant interviewed a dignitary at a type of Asian restaurant. At their table there was a charcoal fired brazier in which they cooked their own strips of different of meat. I noticed that the brazier was bowl shaped. However it was not a wok as it was recessed into a surround possibly for insulation so that people did not get their hands burnt.

    When I went online I found a lot of the results for "table top BBQ came up with units that had a horizontal grill rack and the meat was cooked horizontally. This was not like they had on the show where the food was cooked on the sides of the dish-shape itself.

    Can anyone please let me know whether this style of cooking is style of Charcoal Table Top BBQs is Korean, Thai or and what the units are called? Plus whether you use this style of cooking and where you brought your units from?

    I really like the idea of having the meat, vegetables and dipping sauces pre-prepared and guests can cook their meal the way they want it; while they sit at the table with everyone else. They can also choose what they want to cook. It seems like a great way of cooking while having guests over.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    All you need is an old plough disc and a bag of charcoal/briquettes and you are good to go, I have used this method on many occasions where it is unadvisable or illegal to have an open fire.
    You can also use this for camp oven cooking as well

    Sorry but what you did is still deemed illegal during fire ban.

    Yes I know But on a beach 100m from ANY grass trees I doubt that there would be an issue and there is no flare/flame using charcoal/briquettes so nobody would even know it was there.
    If there was any chance at all of starting a bushfire there is No way I would fire up the charcoal.
    There is also the advantage of Not burning/destroying the local timber or having to cart wood when you want to have a camp oven feed or make some bread/damper by using the heat beads or charcoal.
    As I personally only use a camp oven 2-3 times in a 10-14 day trip using the plough disc and heat beads is by far the easiest option for me as I do most of my other cooking on a portable gas stove.
    Campfires are very nice to sit around and have a yarn/beer and IF the wood is plentiful I will fire one up occasionally But they are heavy on wood and if you look around at the various camp sites that are denuded of trees they can be the cause a lot of damage.

    Was it a steam boat style cooker? Used as more of a grill than a soup pot?
    This is also a great way to entertain- make a big soup hot-pot and get stuck in!

    All good, but it's hardly the tabletop thing Lionel was asking about.

    Hello All,

    After I posted the first message I went off to do other things. During this time I remembered the restaurant where my family celebrated our daughter's university graduation in Brisbane. It was Sizzling Mongolian BBQ in Taringa. While the cooking implement was a massive wok that was submerged in a surround the food was cooked within the dish shape. There was not horizontal grill rack like most of the table top BBQs seem to feature. The version featured on Sam Grant's show was much - much smaller than the one used at the Sizzling Mongolian and Grant's smaller BBQ heated via a charcoal brazier underneath the cooking area.

    I found two different styles of BBQ and a combination of the two would come close to the one used on the table top that Sam Grant and the person he was interviewing used in the restaurant. Does it ring any bells?

    Kind Regards
    Lionel
