Saw the deal in store at Coles Burwood East this arvo. About 10 left when I bought one.
The cheapest I have come across online is $60 at Kogan not including delivery.
Part of the coles Bestbuy catalogue starting on Friday. Available in certain stores (participating stores listed on last page of catalogue online).
Not big enough for a party but small and compact for maybe making some yakitori skewers for a small family.
real ozbargainer uses council free bbq station….
Real Ozbargainer join other strangers BBQ
haha.. reminds me..
when i was bbq at a park few xmas ago… a bunch of vietnamese wanted to use too..so they asked if they can hop in to cook their stuff right after us…
they end up offering hard liquors to us to drink along…n offered some food too..
good times :D :D
real ozbargainer uses council free bbq station…
I can confirm https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/382306
i wish that guy would post an update. i'd love to know what happened.
@bargain huntress: IKR, one of those stories I hoped was true but most likely as real as the Easter bunny
@Last Seen: I’m very pessimistic about most stories but I believe that was 100% true.
Guy probably went to prison intentionally for free food and savings on accommodation costs while riding out the Covid downturn.
@Magnastar: Hahaha wouldn't surprise me
Poor bloke, that won't be stray "head hair" in his risottos, from now on
OMG this is next level LOL.
Thanks for making my Sunday
Sir, six cinderblocks are missing."
"There'll be no hospital then, I'll tell the children."
Great Simpsons reference
Don’t forget to steal some grass to compliment new cinder block BBQ like someone did on my local Facebook group

Real ozbargainers use an anthony mundine grill
http://www.antilag.com/forums/showthread.php?5363-The-Mundin…
lmao - thank you for this
yakitori skewers = chicken kebabs
Family of 1 maybe.
With multiple personalities.
Saw a bunch at Coles Southland a few days ago.
Looks pretty similar to this one on Amazon that's around the $80+ mark
https://www.amazon.com.au/Japanese-Korean-Ceramic-Hibachi-Ta…
It’s all the same, just re-badged.
Any way to check which coles will have stock> ?
I was going to buy the kogan/amazon one a while back but they were out of stock for ages.
edit
Participating stores on last page of catalogue, annnnnd none of them are my locals…ahhh
In terms of quality, does it matter where these grills are made? Would you try looking for one made in Japan?
I would, yes.
My wifes friend has a Japanese one - cant really see the difference. Ultimately this is a very simple device. A box to hold burning charcoal and a grill on top. There's not much to go wrong.
Poorly made ones would probably crack as well as not heating evenly
The charcoal gets hot and heats.
The ceramic grill has gone into a kiln so isn't going to crack from the heat.
Some ceramic bbqs are known for cracking if the heat gets too high, and it's especially an issue with some expensive ceramic egg shaped smokers like the kamado joeand char grilles (at least that's what I have heard)
incase anyone was after these, I saw a stack of around 15 of these in Coles Croydon (VIC 3136) today at roughly 5pm
Interesting most of their best buy stores in NSW are outside of metro syd
I bought mine from Chullora NSW. There were two left.
Any stock in QLD?
I saw about 10 at Redbank Plaza store Saturday morning
Yesterday I saw Coles Sunnybank Hills still got quite a few.
Greenslopes
Wish it were electric
charcoal makes food taste better
If you want electric ones just use the free council ones
Is the replacement grill at $9 a good deal and can you wash amd reuse or is it 1 time use only?
Can’t tell if you’re just kidding around or not? It’s stainless steel and food grade… yes, you can reuse it.
What’s the usual price on this?
There isn't because Coles doesn't usually sell them.
It's on Amazon for 80 bucks
If you’re planning to use this indoors, make sure you’re using binchotan charcoal
Bit contradictory to get a bargain hibachi only to use it with premium only charcoal that won't kill you?
Hey do you know good place to source binchotan charcoal in Sydney?
if you’re planning to use this indoors
Don't
make sure you’re using binchotan charcoal
That's like saying premium cigarettes won't give you cancer
Agreed, you could die from carbon monoxide poisoning if used indoor
No more left at coles Burwood east.
Hrmmmm, no metro Adelaide stores.
11 at Vermont South, VIC as of right now.
Outdoor use only?
That spare grill isn’t going to sell very well
Where to buy the charcoal?
Bunnings?
Where to buy meat?
Meat? This is only for veggies
Japan only.
Coles and woolies sell it in boxes, usually near firelighters and matches.
Are these durable or a few use only before the ceramic clay cracks with thermal cycling?
My suggestion is don’t suddenly chuck water on it while still super hot
This is mainly for style and looks isn't it? Don't a lot of asian style grocers have those larger stainless steel banger ones for cheaper if not less? Especially as they won't crack (granted, probably rust lol).
(Genuine question)
FWIW I use a terracotta cube pot I got from Bunnings on clearance years ago lol >_<
I have one, very hot. Perfect for thin pieces of meat.
LOL, it is not your ordinary barbie, I haven't try mine yet.
Read this tired and saw ‘Hitachi Girl at Coles’
Saw over 10 units at Norwest Coles yesterday.
Around 20 available at Coles Dandenong (princess highway store not dandy plaza like what their website said… I went there this morning)
What's better this grill or a Lodge Sportsman's Grill? - price not a factor.
Do you really have to ask? The lodge sportsman would beat this hands down, but it's more than double the price and its heavy as. It will probably last you 30 years even if mistreated some
I wasted an hour today
I didn’t realise there was a list until I got home
I suggest Check the list of “participating” stores might save your time
https://www.coles.com.au/catalogues-and-specials/view-all#vi…
OP said "Available in certain stores (participating stores listed on last page of catalogue online)."
Coles Best Buys is new to me, but how can Chullora and Clemton Park in NSW have them (as per comments here) if they aren't in the list?!?!?!
Real ozbargainer will go to Coles, put in $1 coin to the trolley and bring it home to use it as a grill.
This is OzBargain, not OzTheft.
You're new here, eh?
Ozborrowing as long as you return it after a summer of use?
It's not theft because they are selling the trolleys for $1
It’s a trolley rental scheme
Bought one, cheers, OP! There are about 8 left at the Nerang Store.
Thanks OP. More than ten left at Macquarie Park.
Around 4/5 left at Mac Park when I got one at 3:30pm
Great for tailgating at the cricket.
Thanks Op :) About 9 left in Taylors Hill Coles Vic :)
About ten at Sunnybank Hills Qld. Thanks OP.
Thanks Masterchef for bringing the hibachi grill to the forefront of culinary excellence. /S
4 left at Mt Ommaney QLD, cheers OP just firing it up now!
Heaps left at Langwarrin
these are a nightmare to clean, get a second have weber go anywhere, or smokey joe
Thanks, got one for each stomach
Mitcham got about 5 left as of now
Both Forest Hills and Vermont South sold out
Real Ozbargainers will just steal some cinderblocks from a construction site and use that!
Thanks though that's a good deal :D
