FAQs
What size gas bottle does this BBQ require?
The BBQ requires a standard patio gas cylinder. The specific size (e.g., 5kg or 13kg) depends on your usage, but ensure it is compatible with the regulator and hose you use.
Is the regulator and hose included with the BBQ?
No, the regulator and hose are sold separately and must be purchased before you can use the BBQ.
How do I clean the cast iron grills?
Allow the grills to cool completely. Use a stiff wire brush to remove all food debris and carbon build-up. For stubborn residue, you can use a mild detergent with warm water and a sponge, then rinse and dry thoroughly before seasoning with a little cooking oil.
Can this BBQ be used on a balcony?
Yes, its compact size makes it suitable for balconies and patios. However, always check your local building regulations and ensure there is adequate ventilation and a safe distance from combustible materials.
What is the cooking area size?

How many people can this BBQ realistically serve?

Troubleshooting
BBQ does not ignite or burners have weak flame
Ensure the gas cylinder is turned on, the regulator is correctly fitted, and the hose is not kinked. Check that the burner ports are not blocked. Verify that the regulator and hose are compatible and correctly connected.
Uneven cooking or hot spots
Ensure the BBQ is on a level surface. Clean the cast iron grills thoroughly as residue can affect heat distribution. Check that the burners are producing an even flame across their length.
Gas smell during operation
Immediately turn off the gas supply and check all connections between the cylinder, regulator, and BBQ for leaks. A soapy water test can identify leaks (bubbles indicate a leak). If a leak is found, do not use the BBQ until it is repaired or all faulty parts are replaced.
Temperature gauge not reading correctly
The gauge may need recalibration or could be faulty. While not essential for cooking, ensure the area around the gauge is clean. If consistently inaccurate, it may require professional inspection.

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your BBQ:
