I turned 74 yesterday but when I got my new Lodge Sportsman L410 Hibachi grill today I was like a little kid with a new toy. I don’t feel too well, have a cold; but that didn’t stop me from getting it assembled and in the oven for a seasoning before using.
That cast iron grill is a piece of artwork; just 6 pieces plus the bail and only needs two bolts to assemble.
I could not find much history on this grill but it looks like Lodge Bought out Sportsman. I did find a video of someone who had an original Sportsman and compared the Lodge to it. The casting is a lot cleaner and they improved the pockets where the cooking grate legs set.
I run hot water over the cooking grate, brushed it well and dried. I then brushed lard on the inside, the two grates, the access door and damper. It was set on a sheet pan and into the oven. I set it at 350 deg. and a half hour later turned the oven off. It will set there until cooled. I had wanted to do the outside too but it was too hard to handle on top of my cupboard. I will coat the outside on my first cook.
Now all I need is some decent weather to try this thing out. I plan on doing some pork burgers, sausage, for my first cook. I would appreciate any tips or hints from any of you who have one of these.

She's a beauty Don! Hope you feel better soon and get to using your new toy!

Fwiw, this fine little grill makes a great charcoal firebox for a CB 940X cooker/ smoker.

Tommy, last time I was up there the prices for seconds in their store were higher than the prices at Academy Sports.

I use foil under the charcoal grate to make it easy to clean ashes, I also spray the cooker with pam before and after each cook. Store indoors

A belated Happy Birthday, Don! That is a great gift. I have loved mine for years - sometimes it is just fun to cook on a hibachi and this is an excellent way to do it. I can't wait to see what you do with it!
