What materials is the BBQ bucket made from?

The BBQ bucket is primarily made of metal, with a wooden grip on the handle.

Does it come assembled?

How many people can this BBQ realistically serve?

Can I use this on a wooden deck or balcony?

It is crucial to place the BBQ on a heat-resistant surface and away from flammable materials. Using a heat-resistant mat underneath is recommended for decks or balconies.

How should I dispose of the ash after use?

Troubleshooting

BBQ won't light or coals won't stay lit

Ensure proper airflow by checking that the ventilation holes are not blocked. Use enough charcoal and allow sufficient time for it to ash over before cooking. Protect from strong winds if necessary.

Uneven cooking temperature

Rake the coals to create hotter and cooler zones on the grill. Add more coals if needed for higher heat, or allow coals to burn down for lower heat. Ensure the grill grate is level.

Handle becomes too hot to touch

While the wooden grip is designed to reduce heat transfer, it's advisable to use heat-resistant gloves when handling the bucket, especially after prolonged use or when adjusting its position.

Rust appearing on the metal

This is normal for metal BBQ products exposed to the elements. Ensure the bucket is completely dry before storing. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the grill grate and interior surfaces after cleaning to offer some protection.
