How do I clean the unit?

We recommend occasional cleaning using a lightly damp cloth. Allow the unit to fully dry before placing over the weatherproof cover.

Can I cook with the lid up?
The unit is designed to cook with the lid closed, the thermal rotation gives better results and reduces the need to continually turn the food on the grill.

What is the distance the units can be to a wooden fence?
As the units are designed to radiate heat we would recommend a minimum safe distance to any combustible material to be at least  8”.

Do I have to cook with charcoal or can you also cook with wood?
We would recommend cooking with charcoal and heating with wood. To cook with wood you first have to burn the wood to charcoal form, this will take at least 1 hour. Charcoal is a stable fuel that is easy to light and easy to control the temperature, wood fuel can be random and therefore more difficult to control at a constant temperature.

Can I leave the unit outside and will it rust?
The unit is finished using weatherproof paint, however we would always recommend that when not in use the weatherproof cover provided is placed over the unit for additional protection from the elements. Never use the cover when the appliance is hot. If you are using the wooden side shelves then these should be removed and kept dry when not in use. As an outdoor product is exposed to sun, rain, snow, wind and other weather elements it is expected that maintenance will be required to preserve the appearance and operation of the appliance. Wear and tear including surface corrosion is to be expected. This is cosmetic and can be remedied with maintenance and does not detract from the operation of the product.

Coastal Areas: Units located within 10 miles of the coast will be subject to increased moisture and salt levels and more frequent maintenance will be required.

What can I do to reduce the smoke from the chimney?
Increase the furnace temperature 752 degrees F by pulling out the air control lever. Always use good quality fuel and ensure it is dry.

My glass has gone black and the fire will not burn?
Always use good quality fuel and ensure it is dry, below 20% moisture. Remove the rain cap this should never be used in Heating mode, the glass will clear over a period of time and the fire stabilizes.

Can I burn coal for heating?
No. Coal should not be used as it can damage the appliance and will void the warranty.

What is the heat output and efficiency?
The HEAT range of barbecue heater are designed for outdoor use, the heat and efficiency generated will depend on many variables.

Does the chimney need sweeping?
When used in accordance with the User guide and with the recommended fuel an efficient burn presents itself with little visible smoke emitted from the chimney. This will minimize any carbon deposits in the chimney and therefore reduce the need for sweeping. Periodic cleaning may be required.
