Cosmogrill Platinum Stainless Steel 6 Gas Burner 4+2 Barbecue (Silver With Cover)

What size propane bottle does this barbecue use?

The barbecue accommodates standard 13kg propane bottles, which fit securely within the enclosed cabinet. The included 37 mbar propane regulator connects directly to UK standard propane bottles. The cabinet design shields the gas bottle from weather whilst maintaining easy access for replacement.

How long does assembly take and what tools are required?

Assembly requires approximately 2 hours with two people working together. All necessary tools and fixings are included in the packaging. The instruction manual provides step-by-step guidance, though some customers find certain steps challenging. The barbecue arrives in two separate boxes which may be delivered at different times.

What is the actual cooking area size?

The main grilling surface measures 71cm x 42cm, providing 2,982cm² of cooking space. This accommodates approximately 20-24 burgers or equivalent food portions simultaneously. Additionally, the warming rack inside the hood provides extra space for keeping cooked food warm or indirect cooking.

Does the infrared burner require special maintenance?

The ceramic infrared burner requires minimal maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Remove food debris after each use and periodically check for blockages in the ceramic surface. Unlike traditional burners, infrared elements don't have exposed flames, reducing maintenance requirements whilst providing more consistent high-temperature cooking.

How effective is the included weatherproof cover?

The 600D Oxford fabric cover provides excellent protection against rain, UV rays and dust. The material is specifically designed for outdoor furniture protection and includes reinforced seams and secure fastenings. Customers report the cover maintains barbecue condition effectively during British weather conditions throughout the year.

What batteries are needed for the LED dials?

The LED control dials require 5 x AA batteries, which are not included with the barbecue. These batteries power the illuminated control knobs, making temperature adjustment visible during evening cooking. Battery life typically extends several months with regular use and the dials function normally without batteries if needed.

Can this barbecue be converted to natural gas?

This model is designed specifically for propane gas and cannot be converted to natural gas. The burner orifices and gas regulator are calibrated for propane pressure and flow rates. Converting to natural gas would require different components and would void the warranty whilst potentially creating safety hazards.

How hot does the barbecue get and how quickly?

The barbecue reaches maximum temperatures of 320°C with all burners operating at full capacity. Preheating to cooking temperature typically takes 10-15 minutes depending on ambient conditions. The combined 20.7kW output provides rapid heat-up times compared to lower-powered alternatives, whilst individual burner control allows precise temperature management.
