CosmoGrill 6 Burner Platinum Yamara Dark (Black, 4+2 Configuration)

What gas bottle size does this barbecue require?

This barbecue uses standard propane gas bottles and comes with a 37 mbar propane gas regulator and 2-metre hose pipe. It's compatible with most UK propane bottles including 5kg, 13kg and 19kg cylinders. The steel panel shield protects your gas bottle when not in use and provides a neat appearance.

How large is the actual cooking area?

The main grilling surface measures 72cm x 41.5cm, providing ample space for cooking multiple items simultaneously. The four-piece cast iron grate system includes interchangeable round sections that accommodate pizza stones and woks. Additionally, there's a stainless steel warming rack above the main cooking area for keeping food warm or slow cooking.

Does the viewing window really prevent fogging up?

Yes, the tempered glass viewing window features anti-fog technology that maintains clear visibility even during high-temperature cooking. This allows you to monitor food progress without opening the lid, which helps maintain consistent cooking temperatures and reduces heat loss. It's a significant advantage over traditional barbecues where you cook completely blind.

What's included with the barbecue for setup?

The barbecue comes complete with lid, built-in thermometer, tool holder, clip-on propane regulator, 2-metre hose pipe, removable grease tray and bamboo chopping board. Assembly is required, but all necessary components are included. The four lockable wheels are pre-fitted and the unit weighs 48kg when fully assembled.

How do the different burner zones work together?

The four main 3.5 kW burners provide standard grilling heat, while the 4 kW ceramic sear zone creates intense infrared heat for perfect searing. The 3.2 kW back burner is designed for rotisserie cooking. Each zone operates independently, allowing you to create different temperature zones for various cooking techniques simultaneously.

What maintenance does the cast iron grilling surface require?

The cast iron grates should be seasoned before first use and re-seasoned periodically to maintain their non-stick properties and prevent rust. Clean them while warm with a grill brush, then apply a light coating of cooking oil. The four-piece design makes cleaning easier as sections can be removed individually for thorough cleaning.

Is this barbecue suitable for year-round outdoor use?

Yes, the enamelled steel construction with rust-resistant coating is designed for year-round outdoor use in British weather conditions. However, using a barbecue cover when not in use will extend its lifespan. The robust 48kg construction provides stability in windy conditions and the lockable wheels prevent unwanted movement.

What's the benefit of the hidden storage compartment?

The hidden compartment beneath the bamboo chopping board provides convenient storage for drinks, keeping them easily accessible during cooking. The bamboo board itself serves as a hygienic preparation surface and can be removed for cleaning. Combined with the spacious bottom shelf, this barbecue offers excellent storage for all your grilling accessories and supplies.
