FAQs
What kind of charcoal should I use?
Use lump charcoal for the best results and flavor. Avoid using briquettes, as they can produce more ash and alter the taste of your food.
How do I control the temperature?
Use the bottom and top vents to control airflow. More airflow equals higher temperatures, while less airflow lowers the temperature.
How do I clean the grill?
Clean the grates after each use with a grill brush. The ceramic body is self-cleaning at high temperatures. The pizza stone can be cleaned with warm water after cooling down.
What's the maximum temperature?
The maximum temperature is 450°C.
How do I use the pizza stone?
Place the pizza stone inside the grill to preheat. Once the stone is hot, place your pizza on it and bake at 190°C for 12-15 minutes.
What if the grill gets too hot?
Close the vents to reduce airflow and lower the temperature. This will help cool down the grill and prevent burning.
Is the cover waterproof?
The included cover is heavy-duty and offers excellent protection against the elements, however, it is recommended to store the grill in a sheltered area during severe weather.
Troubleshooting
Grill won't reach desired temperature.
Ensure vents are open enough for airflow. Check for charcoal blockage and allow more time to heat up.
Temperature fluctuates significantly.
Adjust vents to control airflow. Avoid opening the lid frequently. Ensure charcoal is distributed evenly.
Food is cooking unevenly.
Rotate food regularly. Ensure even heat distribution and consider using indirect heat methods for larger items.
The lid is hard to open.
Check and clean the lid seal and hinges. Lubricate hinges if necessary.
