Know before you buy
Yes. The ceramic construction provides excellent thermal mass, making it easy to maintain low temperatures for smoking or reach high heat for searing steaks.
The unit should be placed on a level, non-combustible surface like a concrete patio or stone pavers. Because it is a charcoal-fueled cooker, ensure it is kept away from wooden decks or overhanging structures.
Ceramic is superior at retaining and radiating heat evenly, which helps keep moisture inside your food. It also allows for more precise temperature control once the cooker is dialed in.
The stainless steel components are chosen for their durability and resistance to rust. However, we recommend using a grill cover when the unit is not in use to protect the ceramic finish and hardware from prolonged exposure to the elements.
It is recommended to perform a few initial low-temperature burns to cure the gaskets and ensure the ceramic components settle properly. Always refer to the included manual for the specific startup procedure.
