FAQs

What type of charcoal should I use?

You can use either charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal. Briquettes tend to burn more consistently, while lump charcoal can reach higher temperatures faster.

How do I control the temperature?

Temperature is controlled primarily by the amount of charcoal used and the airflow. Adjust the bottom and top ventilation sliders to regulate oxygen supply, which in turn affects the burn rate and temperature.

Is assembly required?

Yes, basic assembly of the tripod stand and attaching the bowl is required. Instructions are included.

How do I clean the porcelain-enamelled surfaces?

Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemicals that could damage the enamel.

Can I use this barbecue indoors?

No, this is an outdoor charcoal barbecue and should only be used in a well-ventilated outdoor space to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product's warranty documentation for specific details on coverage and duration.

Troubleshooting

Barbecue not heating evenly

Ensure charcoal is spread evenly for direct cooking or properly positioned for indirect cooking. Check that ventilation sliders are clean and functioning correctly to allow adequate airflow.

Ash catcher is difficult to remove or clean

Allow the barbecue to cool completely before attempting to remove the ash catcher. If ash is caked on, gently scrape it away with a soft brush or cloth.

Lid handle feels hot

Ensure the heat shield is correctly attached. If the handle is still too hot to touch, reduce the heat by closing the ventilation sliders partially.

Wheels are not turning smoothly

Check for any debris obstructing the wheels. Ensure they are properly seated on the tripod stand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with porcelain-enamelled steel.
  • Precise temperature control with a built-in thermometer and adjustable vents.
  • Easy cleanup thanks to the removable ash catcher.
  • Enhanced safety with the heat shield handle.
  • Convenient mobility with the tripod stand and wheels.

Cons

  • Charcoal grilling can have a learning curve for temperature management.
  • Requires manual charcoal lighting and ash disposal.
  • The 57cm size may be small for very large gatherings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components carefully.
  2. Assemble the tripod stand according to the provided instructions.
  3. Attach the bowl to the tripod stand.
  4. Ensure the ash catcher is securely in place.
  5. Familiarize yourself with the location of the ventilation sliders and the lid handle.

Compatibility:

This barbecue is designed for use with charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal. It is not compatible with gas fuels.

Care:

  • After Each Use: Once the barbecue has cooled completely, remove the ash catcher and empty it. Wipe down the lid and bowl with a damp cloth to remove any grease or debris.
  • Periodic Cleaning: For a deeper clean, use a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. The grates can be cleaned with a grill brush.
  • Rust Prevention: While the porcelain enamel is rust-resistant, it's best to store the barbecue in a dry place or use a protective cover to prolong its life. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the enamel.
  • Ventilation Sliders: Ensure the sliders are clean and move freely. You can lubricate them with a food-safe lubricant if they become stiff.
