Korean BBQ Grill
Any experts out there on Korean BBQ? I would like to buy a small table-top gas grill to do Korean BBQ at home. I am having a tough time finding one on line. Anybody bought one before? What is a good price?

So, when you invite friends and/family to your place to grill some dogs, you'll really mean it?

I've only cooked bulgogi in a very hot cast iron pan, which actually worked pretty well. So sorry, no help here. I do have a recipe though.
I love all the little dishes they serve you in the Korean restaurant. Mmm, cucumber kimchee. |

We found a new asian food store in Orem that sells pre-marinated kalbi short ribs for $2.99 a lb. My kids have always loved kalbi. But it just doesn't quite taste the same when you fry it as opposed to grilling. I figured I could use the same grill for Japanese-style yakiniku, which is just a variation on the same theme and is another family favorite.

Weber makes something like that. You probably will need to do the cooking outside on a Weber but their grills get very hot and are made with superb materials and workmanship. Weber is top of the line except for some specialty commercial-type varieties. I think with Asian food the problem is always getting your heat source hot enough. I'd go with a Weber on your patio picnic table. Outside cooking is also less messy and I'm sure that dish spatters greese all over. Also, I bet historically Korean BBQ was cooked outside.

I suppose if you go back far enough, all cooking was done outside. Or in caves?

Jeff, I'd recommend giving these guys a call.
http://www.junglejims.com/index.cfm?...B18C0AF2D31340 Jungle Jims is a terrific International Grocery Store in Cincinnati and if they don't have what you're looking for, they'll help you find it. |

Jeff, let me know what you find. I am big into both Korean and Japanese cooking. We just use an electric skillet to do the "on the table" Japanese yakiniku and cook pulkogi in a frying pan. Actually both these methods were more common in Japan and Korea then an on the table gas bbq--which I have actually never seen in a Japanese or Koran home (but it's been a while). However, they are quite common in restaraunts and I also would love to have one for my home if you can find one.
