Redstone circuit for 3x3 Hibachi?

[Nova225]

I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to anything more of then a basic clock using redstone, but I've been trying to get a 3x3 hibachi grill going for my cauldron. I noticed in FlowerChild's hibachi video, he has a 3x3 grill with a very specific redstone setup with torches and repeaters, but he doesn't show off the redstone design. I quite literally don't know how to build the circuit that he uses, or even identify what kind he's using.

Does anybody know what kind of circuit he's using?

Battosay has a video on it, look in his video corner

I used a redstone design inspired by Battosay's great tutorial video:

The hibachi part starts around 5 minutes into the video.


What u basically want to do is powering the hibachi in the middle by a redstone torch under it, and the 8 hibachis around by repeaters. Hook it all up to one input (in some cases you need to invert the signal for the middle hibachi) and you are good to cook.

How do you hook it up so you dont see redstone?

Here's a couple of screens of the setup is use in the video. There are many different ways you can set something like this up, and I usually just do some custom circuitry to suit whatever environment I am building in:

I didn't intent to post my setup, as I thought it's nothing special but maybe some screenshots of my design can help you.

First two pictures are just there to demonstrate that the switch turns on 9 hibachis under the cauldron at once.

I removed all the redstone covering blocks. There is a 6x6 space for running the wires around the repeaters which then power the 8 hibachis on the outside.
The tricky part is powering the hibachi in the middle. Therefore I have a wire going down two blocks like this:

And this is how it looks under the center hibachi. Note, that the wire is going down yet another block which allows me to hide the inverter for the center hibachi.

Hope this helps. It took me some time to figure it out, but I'm quite pleased by the result.


FC's setup is pretty nice, too. I actually just wondered how one could power most of the hibachis from below.

Mine ended up being a mess since I wanted a building with 3 hibachi sets all within a few blocks of each other so i didn't have much horizontal space to work with. I set 9 rsd torches on blocks underneath the hibachis and separated the signals from 6 rsd torches on the sides using repeaters. I did the same with the ends. The middle I ran a torch underneath it and inverted the signal. I ran all of this to my lever. Since I had 3 of these so close together, I had to create rsd torch stacks for 2 of them so that they weren't on the same level so they'd all fit. It works. :)

Sounds like somthing id make... Messy!

Thanks everyone for their suggestions. I used Battosay's style, and covered up the redstone and repeaters with stone slabs (they don't cut wiring like full blocks do). Normally I'd use the other designs to hide it better, but my building is built only about 2-3 blocks above water in a cove, so Battoasy's was the most compact I could get it. Now to try and stick a bellows in there...
