Integrated coal bbq grill table

Hi all,

I'm Dave and I am new to this forum. I am based in Sydney, NSW.

I'm a timber furniture maker (https://www.thewattleroad.com.au) and have recently had someone enquire about making a custom table that has a coal hibachi / yaki-niku style grill in the middle of it. The original idea they got was from here: https://www.ibbq.com



I have been researching available options (coal / gas / electric element), DIY versus integrated elements, etc. There are numerous hibachi grills that sit on top of a table but none I've seen that could be safely integrated beneath / in the middle of a table without being a danger to combustible materials and people. The Everdure by Heston is probably the closest match i've seen (electric element start of coal) but believe there must be something else out there. Otherwise an integrated grill in an insulation jacket would seem appropriate.

Safety is a big concern and so was hoping this forum could offer some info if known:

- Australian standards for coal powered bbq's / not gas?
- Any examples of coal grill bbq tables like above mentioned that exists in Australia?

Thanks so much for any guidance / advice / links you can offer.

Dave
