🔥 PROFESSIONAL FUNCTIONALITY

The grill supports direct searing, indirect roasting, slow cooking and smoking with food-safe wood. Its offset hinged lid provides access to the entire cooking surface without requiring a separate place for the lid.

▭ CAST-IRON WAVE™ GRIDS

The porcelain-coated cast-iron grids retain heat effectively and create distinctive sear marks. Hinged sections provide easy access for adding charcoal, refilling a water pan or introducing smoking wood.

Three height settings allow the food to be positioned closer to the embers for high-heat searing or higher for gentler cooking.

🔥 VORTEX HEAT MANAGEMENT

The Vortex system improves convection and heat circulation inside the kettle. This supports more even searing, controlled smoking and efficient charcoal use.

🔄 ROTISSERIE READY

The stainless-steel extension ring includes holders for installing a compatible rotisserie. Doors cover the spit-rod openings when the function is not in use. The rotisserie is sold separately.

🌡️ TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The ACCU-PROBE™ gauge monitors temperature beneath the lid. The smoke-stack chimney helps protect airflow from wind and rain, while adjustable stainless-steel vents regulate heat.

Integrated probe doors allow temperature-probe cables to enter without lifting the lid.

Burgers, sausages, steaks, chops, chicken, ribs, fish, seafood, vegetables, smoked foods and rotisserie dishes with a compatible accessory.

🪨 RECOMMENDED FUEL

Use natural lump charcoal or food-grade BBQ briquettes. Beech, hornbeam, oak, acacia or fruitwood chips and chunks may be added moderately for smoking.

Never burn chipboard, MDF, OSB, plywood, painted, varnished, impregnated or chemically treated wood.

👨‍🍳 CASAGRILL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use the lower grid setting for intense searing and the higher settings for gentler cooking. For indirect roasting, position the charcoal to the sides and keep food away from direct heat.

Control temperature through the vents and avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily. Empty the ash catcher only after the embers and ash have completely cooled.

🏡 IDEAL FOR

Backyards, patios, gardens, open gazebos, holiday homes and charcoal enthusiasts seeking advanced smoking and rotisserie capability in a compact grill.

⚠️ SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Use outdoors only on a stable, non-combustible surface. Never light charcoal with the lid closed or add starter fluid to burning embers.

Wear heat-resistant gloves when adjusting the grid or vents. Do not install rotisserie components or remove ash while the grill is hot.
