What are the dimensions of the BBQ when open and closed?
When open, the dimensions are approximately 40.5 x 26 x 29cm (length x width x height). When closed in its briefcase form, it measures about 40.5 x 27.5 x 9cm.
What type of fuel does this portable BBQ use?

How do the dual ventilation holes work?
The dual side ventilation holes allow you to control the airflow to the charcoal. Opening them increases heat and closing them decreases it, giving you precise temperature management for different cooking needs.
What material is the BBQ made from?
The BBQ body is constructed from high-grade powder-coated steel, which provides robustness and durability for outdoor use.
How do I clean the BBQ after use?
After the BBQ has cooled completely, remove the cooking grate and clean it with warm, soapy water and a brush. The steel body can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty controlling heat or uneven cooking
Ensure the dual side ventilation holes are properly adjusted. Open them more for higher heat and close them partially for lower, more stable temperatures. For uneven cooking, rotate food frequently and ensure charcoal is spread evenly beneath the cooking area.
Charcoal not igniting easily or going out too quickly
Check that the ventilation holes are fully open to allow maximum airflow when starting. Use firelighters or a charcoal chimney starter to ensure a good initial burn. Avoid overpacking the charcoal, which can restrict airflow.
Grill feels unstable during use
Always place the BBQ on a flat, solid, and level surface. Ensure all assembled components, especially the legs, are securely fastened and tightened before adding charcoal or food. Avoid placing it on uneven ground or wobbly tables.
Food sticking to the cooking grate
Ensure the cooking grate is clean before use. Preheat the grill thoroughly before placing food on it. Lightly brush or spray the cooking grate with a high-heat cooking oil (like canola or grapeseed oil) before adding food to create a non-stick surface.
