Kaginushi Kogyo was heavily affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and is still rebuilding. We hope to have their grills in stock in 2026. Join our mailing list to find out when they're back!

The most popular size of konro grill we sell is the medium yakitori. It is the right length for western meals like ribs or a side of salmon but still narrow enough for easy grilling of skewers. Overall it’s fairly light and, made more portable with handles on each end, easy to take to a park for a picnic table feast. Feeds 4-7 people.

The grill top may differ from the photo shown. It may be two as shown or a single grill.

About Konro Grills The Japanese word “konro” indicates any heat source used for cooking. A konro barbecue is a special kind of Japanese grill that is generally long and narrow enough that the yakitori skewers can rest on the walls of the box and not fall into the coals below. There are also wider versions to accommodate larger pieces of meat, like a ribeye steak. Kaginushi Kogyo konro grills are uniquely made from diatomite sediment found in Japan's Noto peninsula, Ishikawa, and Hokkaido. This material is ground, mixed with water, molded, and baked into blocks. You can read more them here. 

Konro Grills are also often paired with Binchotan charcoal, which you can read about here.

    IMPORTANT:

    • All Konro orders are shipping with UPS in Canada and DHL in USA.
    • Konro Grills unfortunately are excluded from our free shipping offer.

    • Charcoal gives off carbon monoxide. Use it only where there is enough ventilation. Never use indoors.
    • The bottom of Konro will become extremely hot. Do not use it on carpets or tatami mats. Use only on a fireproof surface.
    • Do not move the Konro while using it.
    • Do not leave the Konro unattended while using it.
    • Do not leave children unattended with a hot Konro.
    • Make sure the fire is completely extinguished after use.
    • The metal parts will get hot. Use caution when handling.
    • The metal parts can be sharp and cause scrape or cuts. Be cautious when handling
    • Traditional Konros are ceramic. When dropped or banged, it can break. 
    • Metal Konros can rust, so don't leave them uncovered outdoors.
    • Never pour water into the Konro to put out the fire. This will cause the Konro to break.
    • Store in a weatherproof area, do not leave outdoors. Avoid extreme humidity.
    • Use the Konro on a flat and level surface.
    • If the Konro gets wet, it will not work as well as it should. Let the Konro dry completely before the next use.

    Loving My Konro

    "I’ve been eyeing this konro for several years but didn’t have the chance to pick one up. Thanks to a recent trip to the Edmonton store and a great bundle price, I finally brought one home. Such excellent advice from the expert in store! It’s been so fun trying different foods and we love the charcoal. Highly recommend and the size is just right. Meat cooks fast and we can reuse the charcoal. Delicious!"

    Q&A

    Missed the may drop? When's the next stock?
    Unfortunately, the May drop never actually happened. The shipping setbacks we've seen with the Konro grills have been pretty insane. We're hoping to start seeing them roll in this month. Make sure you're signed up for notifications and we'll let you know when they arrive!
    Sold out again D:, when will it be back in stock?
    Hey there! We're hoping to see these grills by, hopefully, the end of the month (May 2021). The best way to stay informed about them would be to pop your email into the "notify me when available" section on their product page and we'll email you when they're ready to go. I don't have any firm date right now, but it's just a matter of time!
    Most of them are sold out. When will they be back？
    Hey Zoran, We have a shipment that is on its way to us and we're hoping to be receiving it in late December or early January. The medium yakitori grills would be in that shipment. Alex
    What would be the estimated shipping cost to San Franciscon for the Medium size Konro grill?
    Hey there, generally it costs about 80-100$ CAD to ship the grills over that way!
    Do you ship to the UK?
    We sure do! We ship via DHL Express Worldwide. You can see our shipping policies here: https://knifewear.mom/pages/terms-and-conditions Connor
