The Compact Konro, Where Charcoal Grilling Starts
The classic entry into proper Japanese charcoal grilling. At 310mm this is the compact konro, the right size for a small professional kitchen, a yakitori counter or a serious home set-up, comfortably handling 2 to 4 covers. Burn binchotan in it and you get the same intense, clean radiant heat the larger grills give, in a footprint that fits almost anywhere. It is the konro we count 2-star Umu among the buyers of.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Built for binchotan: the clean, intense radiant heat that defines yakitori and robata
- Compact footprint: 310mm fits small kitchens, counters and home set-ups
- Right for 2–4 covers: the natural starting size for charcoal grilling
- Trusted at the top: on order with 2-star Umu
How to Use
- Fuel it right: burn binchotan for the cleanest heat
- Skewers or mesh: rest skewers across the rails or add a grill mesh
- Yakitori and more: ideal for skewers, also small cuts, fish and vegetables
- Site it safely: use on a stable, heatproof surface with good ventilation
焜炉 — The konro, and the heat of binchotan
The konro (焜炉) is the traditional Japanese charcoal grill: a ceramic, trough-shaped brazier built so skewers rest across the top while charcoal burns in the well below. Its purpose is to make the most of binchotan, the prized white charcoal that burns hotter, cleaner and longer than ordinary lumpwood, throwing off intense infrared heat that sears yakitori and robata with almost no smoke or flame. A grill shaped to concentrate heat, and a fuel that delivers it, is the foundation of Japanese charcoal cookery. The 310mm is that idea at its most accessible.
Which size konro should I buy?
Match the length to your covers. This 310mm suits 2 to 4 and small spaces; the 540mm handles 4 to 8 and is the all-round workhorse; the 770mm is the long counter grill for high-volume skewer service; and the XL Deep 700×350mm adds depth for larger cuts and whole fish. Start with the 310 if you are testing charcoal service or working in a tight space.

What charcoal should I use, and how do I put it out?
Use binchotan for the best results, hotter, cleaner and longer-burning than ordinary charcoal. It is slow to light, so a chimney starter helps. Rather than letting it burn out, smother it in a charcoal extinguishing pot to cool and reuse it, which makes binchotan go much further.
How do I look after a konro grill?
Keep it dry, let it cool fully between uses, and always set it on a stable, heatproof surface with good ventilation, as it gets very hot. Don't douse a hot konro with water to cool it; let the charcoal die down or lift it into an extinguishing pot. Brush the rails clean once cool, and it will last for years.
