WARRANTY

Owner Experience Guide 2022

Regularly clean your Backyard Hibachi Grill between uses and especially after

extended periods of storage. Ensure that the Backyard Hibachi Grill and its

components are suﬃciently cool before cleaning.

Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands. In order to extend and maintain the

life and condition of your Backyard Hibachi Grill, we strongly recommend that the

unit be covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter

months.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

In most circumstances, burning oﬀ the residue after cooking will keep the burner

clean. The burner should be removed and cleaned annually or whenever heavy

build-up is found in order to ensure that there is no blockage (debris, insects) in either

the burner portholes or venture tubes. Use pipe cleaner to clear obstructions. A wire

brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner surfaces. When reﬁtting the

burner, be careful to check that the venture tubes of the burner ﬁt over the valve

outlets.

BURNER MAINTENANCE:

You want to keep your wood beautiful and sealed. Keep out of direct sunlight for

extended periods of time and keep surface dry and cleaned. You will need to reﬁnish

the wood with a marine grade sealer/varnish every 2-3 years to keep your Backyard

Hibachi looking like the day you bought it.

WOOD MAINTENANCE:

We recommend keeping your grill under a covered area and protected from the

elements. Direct sunlight is not ideal for the ﬁnish on the wood. If rain gets on it, try to

dry it after the rain stops. Do not leave standing water in the cooking area or you will

get surface rust, which can however, be easily cleaned, just like when you ﬁrst got your

grill. We also oﬀer a grill cover to protect your Hibachi Grill.

Annual checking and tightening of metal ﬁttings is recommended. Store the Hibachi

Grill in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent

insects or other debris from collecting in the burner holes. If the Hibachi Grill is to be

stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle

should always be stored outside, out of reach of children, and in a dry, well-ventilated

area away from any sources of heat or ignition.

STORAGE:

Owner Experience Guide 2022

Our cooktops are pre-seasoned and come with a protective coating of oil on them. You

will want to thoroughly clean your cooktop before cooking. We recommend using a

scouring pad with a powdered cleaner, such as Barkeepers Friend or Comet, to clean

the steel cooktop.

Rinse well with water. Use a paper towel and/or grill scraper to spread clean cooking oil

all over the cooktop. You are ready to cook!

You do not need to use the cleaners every time you cook. Usually, adding water and

steam and scraping the grill clean as it deglazes is the easiest way to keep your hibachi

cooktop primed and seasoned for cooking. Repeat adding water and scraping until

your cooktop is clean and then wipe away excess water with a paper towel. Use a

paper towel to spread cooking oil all over the cooktop to protect your seasoned steel.

See this blog post for a video about everyday cleaning for your grill.

-your-backyard-hibachi

Every time you cook, you will also want to clean your wood with a wood-safe household

all-purpose cleaner. If cooking oil splatter is left on the wood, it can start to degrade

the ﬁnish over time.

CLEANING:

Owner Experience Guide 2022

Seasoning is the preparation of steel or cast-iron cookware for use.

There are two reasons for seasoning: To coat the cookware to prevent rust

and to create a natural, permanent stick resistant cooking surface.

Seasoning is an easy, but very important ﬁrst step when using the Backyard

Hibachi Grill. Unlike synthetically coated grills, steel and cast iron can be

seasoned repeatedly, constantly restoring the cooking surface.

Remember: Seasoning is an ongoing process that takes time and repeated

use before a hibachi grill develops a shiny, black surface like your

grandmother’s cast iron cookware. The more often you cook on and season

your hibachi grill, the more non-stick the surface will become.

WHAT IS SEASONING?

FIRST TIME: Backyard Hibachi Grills are pre-seasoned with cooking oil to

prevent rust and damage during shipping. For ﬁrst time use, wash the

hibachi grill in hot, soapy water. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD USE

SOAP ON THE HIBACHI GRILL. Rinse and dry completely with paper towels.

Proceed with seasoning instructions.

AFTER EACH USE: To clean the hibachi grill after each use, scrape gently

with a spatula and wipe down the hibachi grill surface with a paper towel. For

tough food residue, pour hot water onto the hibachi grill surface and let it

boil the residue oﬀ. Wipe again with a paper towel and dry completely. 1⁄4

cup of table salt can also be used to buﬀ oﬀ stuck on food. Proceed with

Seasoning Instructions.

SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS: Remove all food debris with spatula or

scraper. Apply a very thin, even coating of oil (ﬂax oil, extra virgin olive oil,

vegetable oil, peanut oil, etc.) to the hibachi grill surface. Use a paper towel

to spread the oil evenly across the cooking surface of the hibachi grill. Turn

on hibachi grill to medium-high. You will start to see the oil smoke and the

hibachi grill top will discolor. This is good. Keep heating the hibachi grill until

the smoke stops (15-25 Minutes). Turn the hibachi grill oﬀ and allow it to

cool down. Repeat this 3-4 times as needed. Store in a cool, dry place with a

hibachi grill hard cover and or soft cover.

SEASONING AND CLEANING:

HIBACHI CARE & SEASONING

Q. Why does my hibachi grill surface look dull and dry instead of shiny and

black?

A. Season is a continuous process. Over time and the more often you season your hibachi grill,

the more shiny, black and non-stick it will become.

Owner Experience Guide 2022

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What if my hibachi grill starts to rust?

A. If rust appears on the hibachi grill surface, rub it oﬀ with steel wool or low grain sandpaper

and re-season the surface. Always completely dry your hibachi grill before

storing and keep away from rain and sprinklers.

**CUSTOMERS IN HUMID OR COASTAL CLIMATES MAY REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT

SEASONINGS AND THE USE OF HEAVIER COOKING OILS TO AVOID RUSTING AND

CORROSION.**

Q. What types of cooking oils can I use to season my hibachi grill?

A. We recommend the following oils for seasoning purposes: olive oil, vegetable oil, canola oil,

coconut oil and sesame oil. Lard can also be used to season the hibachi grill top.

Q. Can I use dish detergent to clean my hibachi grill?

A. Grease cutting dish detergents will erase the seasoning on the hibachi grill. For tough spots

use table salt and hot water.

Q. What are the dimensions and what does it weigh?

A. The Backyard Hibachi Grill is roughly 56" long x 38" wide and x 37" tall. The actual cook

surface all grill models is 33.5" x 22". Depending on the model they weigh between 150 and

200 pounds.

Q. Why is the surface not perfectly ﬂat?

A. The grill surface is not a ﬂat griddle. It will slightly concave over time. There is nothing to be

worried about, the grill will work the same and it allows for the grease and oil to ﬂow to the

center for cooking.
