Onlyfire Table Top Gas BBQ (3 Burner, Stainless Steel, 22" Grate)

What gas cylinder do I need for this barbecue?

This barbecue uses standard propane gas cylinders with a regulator connection. In the UK, you'll need a 5kg, 13kg, or larger propane cylinder with a 27mm clip-on regulator or screw-on fitting depending on your cylinder type. The barbecue comes with a standard European gas connection, so you may need a UK adapter depending on your gas supplier. Most camping and DIY stores stock suitable regulators and adapters.

How long does assembly take and what tools are needed?

Assembly typically takes 30-45 minutes and requires basic tools including a Phillips screwdriver and adjustable spanner. The instruction manual provides clear step-by-step guidance with diagrams. Most components come pre-assembled, with the main tasks being attaching the legs, handles and gas connections. No specialist tools or technical knowledge is required for assembly.

Can this barbecue be used on a wooden table or deck?

Yes, but you must use a heat-resistant mat or metal tray underneath to protect the surface. The barbecue generates significant heat from the bottom, especially around the grease tray area. A thick metal tray or purpose-made barbecue mat will prevent heat damage to wooden surfaces. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit and never use it in enclosed spaces.

What's the maximum cooking capacity for this barbecue?

The 286 square inch cooking area accommodates approximately 12-15 standard burgers, 8-10 chicken breasts, or 20-24 sausages at one time. You can cook different foods simultaneously by using the individual burner controls to create different heat zones. The three-burner system allows for versatile cooking with high heat searing on one side and gentler cooking on another.

How do I clean the cooking grates properly?

Clean the stainless steel grates whilst still warm using a grill brush or scraper to remove food residue. For deeper cleaning, remove the grates and wash in warm soapy water or place in a dishwasher if they fit. Stubborn residue can be removed by soaking in warm water with washing-up liquid. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain the stainless steel finish.

Is the barbecue suitable for windy conditions?

The barbecue can be used in light winds, but strong winds may affect cooking performance and safety. The lid helps protect flames from wind when closed and the solid construction provides stability. In very windy conditions, position the barbecue in a sheltered location or use a windbreak. Always ensure the barbecue is stable and never leave it unattended in windy weather.

What's included in the box besides the main barbecue?

The package includes the main barbecue body, cooking grate, lid with thermometer, folding legs, carry handle, removable grease tray and assembly hardware. You'll also receive an instruction manual with assembly guidance and safety information. The gas regulator and cylinder are not included and must be purchased separately from camping or DIY retailers.

Can I convert this barbecue to use natural gas instead of propane?

No, this barbecue is designed specifically for propane gas and cannot be safely converted to natural gas. The burner orifices and gas pressure requirements are different between propane and natural gas systems. Attempting conversion would be dangerous and void any warranty. If you need a natural gas barbecue, you'll need to purchase a model specifically designed for that fuel type.
