Kinka Okunoto Konro Grill Starter Set - 31cm (Small)

This starter set bundles the Kinka Okunoto Konro — the benchmark artisanal diatomite grill trusted by professional chefs and featured on Australian cooking shows — with everything needed to start grilling straight out of the box.

The grill is hand-cut from a single block of natural diatomite quarried in the Okunoto region of Japan's Noto Peninsula, prized for its heat insulation. This allows the included binchotan charcoal to burn hotter for longer, cooking with a strong radiant heat that seals in juices. Read a review of this grill from a local cook on the Central Coast of NSW, or if you're weighing up sizes, see our 31cm vs 54cm sizing guide.

What's in the Starter Set

 

Key Features

  • Complete Grilling Package: Includes the grill, two cooking meshes, binchotan charcoal, yakitori skewers and a wooden base.
  • Authentic Okunoto Diatomite Grill: Features the hand-cut 31cm Kinka grill, offering the highest heat retention in our konro range.
  • Binchotan Included: Comes with 2kg of Japanese white charcoal to get you started — refills and regional varieties are available in our binchotan collection.

Important Notes, Use & Care

For outdoor use only. This is a charcoal grill and must only be used in a well-ventilated area.

Handle with Care: The grill body becomes extremely hot during use. Do not use water to clean the diatomite interior. Allow to cool completely and brush out any ash.

Limited Availability: Due to the artisanal hand-cut production process, availability can be limited. If this item is out of stock, please contact us to join the waiting list.

Returns Policy: Please choose carefully. Due to the delicate nature of diatomite grills, we do not accept returns for change of mind.

Use & Care
  • User guide: Setting up, using and caring for your konro grill.
  • Lighting binchotan: Dense white charcoal takes longer to light than regular charcoal — our guide shows the safe way.
  • Ventilation: Use your konro outdoors or in a well-ventilated space only — never in an enclosed room.
