FAQs

What type of charcoal should I use?

You can use lumpwood charcoal or charcoal briquettes. Lumpwood charcoal generally burns hotter and faster, while briquettes provide a more consistent heat for longer periods.

How do I control the heat when cooking?

Heat is controlled primarily by the adjustable top and bottom vents. Opening the vents allows more oxygen to the coals, increasing the temperature. Closing them reduces oxygen and lowers the temperature. The lid also plays a role in heat retention and circulation.

Is this BBQ suitable for a large party?

The 54cm cooking area is suitable for small to medium gatherings. For very large parties, you may need to cook in batches or consider a larger grill.

How long does the assembly take?

Assembly typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on experience, and clear instructions are provided.

Can I use this BBQ on a wooden deck?

Yes, but always place the BBQ on a heat-resistant surface or mat to protect the deck from excessive heat. Ensure there is adequate clearance from flammable materials.

How often should I clean the ash catcher?

It is recommended to empty the ash catcher after each use, once the BBQ has cooled down, to ensure efficient airflow and easy cleanup for the next session.

What are the dimensions of the cooking area?

The cooking grate has a diameter of 54cm.

Troubleshooting

BBQ not reaching desired temperature

Ensure all vents are fully open to allow maximum airflow to the coals. Check that the charcoal is fully lit and covered in grey ash. Add more charcoal if necessary. Ensure the lid is fitted correctly.

Food sticking to the grate

Preheat the grate thoroughly. Oil the grate just before adding food. Ensure the temperature is appropriate for the food being cooked.

Ash catcher is difficult to remove

Ensure the BBQ has cooled completely. Gently wiggle the ash catcher while pulling downwards. If debris is blocking it, carefully clear it once cool.

Uneven cooking

Rotate food regularly. Ensure coals are spread evenly in the charcoal bowl. Use the vents to balance temperature across the cooking surface.
