Campingaz Gas BBQ 3 Series Premium S (Grey, 3 Burner)

What gas regulator do I need for this barbecue?

This barbecue requires a standard UK gas regulator which is not included with the unit. You'll need a 37mbar regulator for propane or butane gas cylinders. Most UK gas suppliers stock compatible regulators. Check your gas cylinder type before purchasing as propane and butane require different connection fittings.

How long does assembly take and what tools are required?

Assembly typically takes 4-5 hours and requires basic tools including spanners and screwdrivers. The instruction manual contains detailed diagrams but some users find the process challenging. Having a second person helps with handling larger components. All necessary bolts and fixings are included in the package.

What accessories work with the Culinary Modular System?

The modular system accepts Campingaz pizza stones, woks, chicken roasters and plancha plates sold separately. These accessories replace sections of the cast iron grill grid. The system allows you to cook different foods simultaneously using various cooking methods on the same barbecue.

How does the InstaClean system work in practice?

Water-filled drip trays sit beneath the grill grid and collect grease automatically. The water prevents grease from burning and creating smoke. Collected grease flows into a removable container accessed through the trolley door. Simply empty the container and refill the water trays as needed.

What are the exact cooking dimensions and capacity?

The main grill surface measures 61x46cm providing 2806cm² of cooking space. The warming rack adds another 62x17cm. This capacity handles food for 6-8 people comfortably. The cast iron construction provides excellent heat retention and even cooking across the entire surface.

Can this barbecue be left outside year-round?

While the barbecue features powder-coated steel construction, Campingaz recommends using a protective cover for outdoor storage. Some users report rust issues after extended outdoor exposure. Store in a covered area or garage during winter months for best longevity. Regular cleaning and maintenance help prevent corrosion.

How do the BlueFlame burners reduce flare-ups?

BlueFlame burners feature a serpentine design that distributes flames evenly beneath an optimised grill grid. This configuration prevents fat from dripping directly onto burner flames. The water-filled drip system below catches grease before it can ignite, significantly reducing flare-ups compared to traditional barbecues.

What's the difference between this model and other 3 Series variants?

The Premium S includes the side burner, electronic ignition and premium trolley with doors. Standard 3 Series models may lack these features. The Premium S also includes the full Culinary Modular system compatibility and InstaClean Aqua PRO technology. Check specifications carefully as features vary between different 3 Series models.
