FAQs
What kind of charcoal should I use?
Use high-quality lump charcoal for the best flavor and performance. Briquettes can be used, but they may burn for a shorter time.
How do I control the temperature?
Adjust the top and bottom vents to control airflow. More airflow increases temperature, less airflow decreases it.
How do I clean the grates?
Use a grill brush while the grates are still hot after cooking. This makes it easier to remove food residue.
Can I use this BBQ in the rain?
Yes, but always use the included weatherproof cover when not in use to protect the BBQ from the elements.
What is the warranty?
Warranty information is provided in the product documentation and may vary. Check the manufacturer's website for specific details.
How do I store the BBQ?
Always store the BBQ under the included weatherproof cover when not in use. Ensure it is cool and clean before covering.
What if the thermometer is broken?
Contact the manufacturer for replacement options or consider using an external thermometer for temperature monitoring.
Troubleshooting
BBQ won't reach desired temperature.
Check airflow by adjusting vents. Ensure the charcoal is properly lit and arranged. Use more charcoal if necessary.
Food is cooking unevenly.
Ensure the charcoal is evenly distributed. Rotate food during cooking. Check the thermometer accuracy.
Difficulty controlling temperature.
Adjust the top and bottom vents in small increments. Allow time for temperature changes. Close vents to lower the temperature, open to increase it.
Cracks appearing on the ceramic surface.
Crazing (tiny cracks) is normal. Check for larger cracks and contact the manufacturer if needed.
