Does anyone know if this can be used indoors with good ventilation? I am planning on using the more expensive Japanese charcoal.

If you're smart, it's not a problem. We use it on our screened porch with at least one window open-- that's more than enough. Used in our dining room, I make sure to have one window open and the kitchen range hood fan on. Bear in mind that our (Viking) range hood can suck small children off the floor. In China, hot pot restaurants will have 80-100 charcoal fired hot pots going at one time in a dining room. Presumably there's some sort of ventilation at work, but literally nothing apparent. In 30 years I have never heard of a problem. Note that if CO or CO2 were a problem, you'd know-- a headache, vision issues, etc. It's not like being hit by a train. I use ours in our dining room with one window open and the kitchen range hood fan going: zero problems. I also use real charcoal (hardwood lump) and smoke simply isn't a concern. You can use smokeless, but it's really not required. Never use briquettes, which are usually a mix of coal and binder.

Is this grill for indoor cooking? Is it safe?

No. There is a big difference between a traditional Japanese house (very drafty) and modern homes (often wrapped in Tyvek to make them even more airtight). Even high-quality binchotan charcoal produces a lot of carbon dioxide, as well as carbon monoxide. I have seen restaurants that use commercial vent hoods over the grills, but if you want to grill indoors, you should be looking at an electric unit. Again, I'm not saying that people never have used these indoors, just that it won't work in a modern home.

Can this withstand the heat from bin-chou-tan coal? (1000 degrees)

Yes, I've used mine 3 x and has not been a problem.

The instruction say no table top. but appear be i can place it over my outdoor table. isnt it ?

I don’t know I have the small one.What I did whe I placed it on an outdoor table I put down foil on top of that I put ceramic tile. I made sure everything where a coal might l fall was covered Thi I don’t know I have the small one.
