The Kasai Little Konro Grill in Plancha Edition is a compact, UK-designed and UK-manufactured charcoal grill built around the traditional Japanese konro format. It combines a natural clay-lined body with a full-size stainless steel griddle plate, giving professional kitchens a versatile surface for direct high-heat cooking at the pass, tableside, or in a dedicated live-fire station.
The clay lining is central to how this grill performs. It reflects radiant heat back towards the cooking surface and retains temperature more effectively than steel or cast iron shell alternatives, which means the charcoal burns longer and more consistently between refuels. In service, that translates to a stable, controllable cooking environment rather than the fluctuating heat levels that can frustrate cooks during busy periods. The plancha plate itself is formed from 3mm thick 304-grade stainless steel, which distributes heat evenly and holds temperature well once up to working heat — practical for bacon, fish, shellfish, eggs, and finishing dishes that have been cooked sous vide or low and slow.
From an operational standpoint, the Plancha Edition offers:
- Consistent flat-surface heat for proteins, vegetables, and breakfast items without the flare risk of open grates
- Superior charcoal efficiency from the insulated clay body, reducing fuel consumption during service
- A robust 304-grade griddle plate that withstands repeated high-temperature use and is straightforward to clean
- Compact footprint suited to counter-top or tableside use without requiring additional ventilation infrastructure beyond standard charcoal precautions
- UK manufacture with a one-year parts and labour warranty
As a charcoal-burning appliance, this grill requires appropriate ventilation wherever it is used — whether that is an extraction canopy in a kitchen environment or outdoor positioning for tableside dining. It is not suited to enclosed spaces without adequate airflow, and operators should satisfy themselves that their venue's extraction provision meets local environmental health requirements before putting it into regular service. At 13.2kg, it is portable enough to reposition but substantial enough to sit stably on a counter or service table.
The Little Konro Plancha Edition is well suited to small restaurant kitchens, pop-up dining concepts, Japanese barbecue restaurants, or any operation looking to bring live-fire cooking to the guest experience in a controlled format. It is sized for two to four covers at a time, which suits tableside service or a dedicated finishing station rather than high-volume batch cooking. Operators running larger covers or continuous production output should consider whether a larger-capacity model from the Kasai range would better match their throughput requirements.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your service style or venue layout, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Little Konro Plancha Edition suitable for continuous kitchen service or is it better suited to tableside use?
Its capacity is best matched to two to four covers at a time, making it practical for a tableside dining experience or a dedicated finishing station rather than high-volume continuous production. Kitchens needing to run larger covers simultaneously should look at higher-capacity models within the Kasai range.
What ventilation does a charcoal-burning konro grill require in a restaurant setting?
Any charcoal-burning appliance requires adequate extraction to manage smoke and carbon monoxide — a commercial extraction canopy directly above the grill is the standard provision for indoor kitchen use. Operators should confirm with their local environmental health officer that their extraction setup is compliant before using it in an enclosed dining or kitchen space.
How does the clay lining affect cooking performance compared with a conventional steel-body grill?
The clay body insulates and reflects radiant heat back towards the cooking surface rather than dissipating it through the shell, which means the charcoal burns more efficiently and the cooking temperature stays more consistent between refuels. In practical terms, this reduces the frequency of fuel top-ups during service and gives the cook a more predictable heat level to work with.
