From: VonHaus

Product Features

Dual Fuel Cooking System - Gas and charcoal grills operate independently with separate temperature gauges. The gas side provides instant heat through three 24,000 BTU burners. The charcoal section offers traditional cooking with five height adjustments. This flexibility lets you cook different foods simultaneously using the most suitable fuel type for each dish. Smoking Transformation - The charcoal grill converts into an authentic smoker by closing the chimney damper and adding wood chips. This creates the low-temperature environment needed for proper smoking. American-style barbecue becomes possible with hickory, apple, or cherry wood chips. The sealed chamber retains smoke for hours of slow cooking. Cast Iron Cooking Grills - Both sides feature cast iron cooking surfaces that retain heat better than steel alternatives. Cast iron distributes heat evenly across the entire cooking surface. These grills develop a natural non-stick seasoning over time. The material withstands high temperatures without warping and creates excellent searing marks on meat.

Height Adjustable Charcoal System - Five height positions control cooking intensity on the charcoal side. Lower positions create high heat for searing steaks and burgers. Higher positions provide gentle heat for vegetables and delicate fish. This adjustment system eliminates the need to add or remove charcoal during cooking. Manual height control gives precise temperature management. Integrated Storage Solutions - The fold-down side table provides 34.5cm x 44.5cm workspace for food preparation and serving. The lower shelf stores heavy items like gas bottles, charcoal bags and wood chips. The side table folds completely flat for compact storage. Access doors allow easy charcoal refuelling without removing the cooking grill. Professional Heat Output - Three independent gas burners deliver 24,000 BTU total heat output with individual control dials. Each burner ignites independently for precise temperature zones. The integrated ignition system eliminates the need for matches or lighters. Burner controls range from low simmer to high sear temperatures for different cooking techniques.

FAQs

How long does assembly take and what tools are needed?

Assembly typically takes 3-4 hours with two people, despite the manufacturer's 2-hour estimate. You'll need basic tools like screwdrivers and spanners. The instructions can be unclear in places, so take your time identifying parts. Having reasonable DIY skills helps significantly. Many customers recommend having a second person to hold components during assembly.

Can I use both gas and charcoal sides simultaneously?

Yes, both cooking areas operate completely independently. Each side has its own temperature gauge for monitoring. You can cook steaks on the gas side while smoking ribs on the charcoal side. The dual fuel design allows different cooking methods at the same time. This makes it perfect for cooking various foods with different requirements.

What size gas bottle do I need and is it included?

The BBQ requires a standard propane gas bottle, typically 13kg or 19kg size. The gas bottle is not included but the gas hose and regulator are provided. You'll need to purchase the propane bottle separately from a gas supplier. The regulator fits standard UK propane bottles with the correct connection type.

How do I convert the charcoal side into a smoker?

Close the chimney damper to reduce airflow and maintain low temperatures around 110-130°C. Add soaked wood chips directly onto the charcoal for smoke production. Keep the lid closed to trap smoke around the food. Popular wood types include hickory for strong flavour or apple for milder taste. Monitor temperature using the built-in gauge.

What are the exact cooking surface dimensions?

The charcoal grill measures 40cm wide by 42cm deep. The gas grill is slightly larger at 45cm wide by 42cm deep. Both sides include warming racks above the main cooking surfaces. The total cooking area accommodates food for 6-8 people comfortably. The height-adjustable charcoal grill provides additional cooking flexibility.

Is the BBQ weatherproof and suitable for year-round outdoor storage?

The BBQ features porcelain enamel coating for weather protection, but some customers report rust after 15 months of outdoor use. A waterproof cover is recommended for extended outdoor storage. Storing in a garage or shed during winter months helps prevent corrosion. Regular cleaning and maintenance extend the BBQ's lifespan significantly.

How easy is it to clean after cooking?

Two removable ash trays collect debris from the charcoal side for easy disposal. The cast iron grills can be removed for thorough cleaning. The porcelain enamel surfaces wipe clean with standard BBQ cleaning products. The gas burners require occasional cleaning to maintain proper ignition. Regular maintenance keeps the BBQ in good working condition.

Can I move the BBQ easily once assembled?

Two wheels on one end allow the BBQ to be tilted and rolled to new positions. The total weight is 37kg, so moving requires some effort. The wheels work well on patio surfaces and short grass. For longer distances, having someone help lift the other end is recommended. The fold-down table reduces width for moving through narrow spaces.
