The Kasai Medium Wide is a UK-manufactured konro grill — a style of Japanese hibachi-style charcoal cooker traditionally used to cook yakitori, skewered meats, and grilled fish at high heat over binchōtan or natural lump charcoal. The unit sits within a stainless steel frame and is built around a natural clay body, which is central to how this style of grill performs in professional service.

The clay construction is not aesthetic — it serves a functional purpose. The material retains and reflects heat efficiently, which means the charcoal burns longer and more consistently than it would in a conventional metal-bodied grill. In practical terms, this reduces how often the charcoal needs topping up during a service, and helps maintain the sustained high surface temperatures that Japanese charcoal cooking depends on. The grill reaches the intense heat levels needed to char the outside of proteins quickly whilst retaining moisture — a result that is difficult to replicate with gas or electric alternatives.

From an operational standpoint, the konro format suits table-side cooking, open kitchen theatre, or a dedicated yakitori section. Key practical advantages include:

  • Sustained high heat from charcoal with reduced fuel consumption between services
  • Clay insulation minimises heat transfer to the external stainless frame, reducing burn risk
  • Compact footprint suitable for countertop or pass positioning
  • Stainless steel frame supports durability in commercial environments
  • No gas or electrical connection required — placement is flexible

Because this is a charcoal-burning appliance, ventilation is a practical prerequisite. It must be used either under a suitable extraction canopy or in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor setting. It is not suitable for use in a fully enclosed kitchen without adequate extraction in place. At 14.2kg, the unit is manageable for repositioning between services, but the clay body should be handled carefully to avoid cracking.

This model is well suited to restaurants running Japanese BBQ menus, yakitori bars, or operators looking to add a credible charcoal cooking element to an open kitchen. It is sized to serve a small group comfortably, making it appropriate for table-side use or a compact dedicated station rather than a high-volume continuous production line. For sites requiring greater throughput or multiple cooking positions, larger or additional units should be considered.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your kitchen layout, extraction setup, or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Does this konro grill require any electrical or gas connection?

No — the Kasai Medium Wide runs entirely on charcoal, so there is no requirement for an electrical supply or gas connection. This gives you flexibility in where it is positioned, though it must still be used under suitable extraction or in a well-ventilated space to manage smoke and combustion gases safely.

What extraction or ventilation is needed to use this grill in a commercial kitchen?

As a charcoal-burning appliance, this grill produces smoke and combustion byproducts that cannot be managed in an enclosed kitchen without proper ventilation. It should be operated directly beneath a suitable extraction canopy, or in an outdoor or semi-outdoor setting. If you are unsure whether your existing extraction is adequate, it is worth checking with your ventilation contractor before purchasing.

Is this model suited to high-volume continuous service, or is it better for smaller covers?

The Medium Wide is best suited to smaller dedicated stations — yakitori sections, table-side cooking, or open kitchen use for a modest number of covers at a time. Operators running continuous high-volume production or needing to cook across multiple positions simultaneously should consider whether additional units or a larger format model would be more practical for their service.
