Can I use my charcoal barbecue as a fireplace?

You can't use your charcoal barbecue as a fireplace. Fire logs produce extreme heat in a small amount of time. Because of this heat, the metal of your barbecue will expand very quickly. When the enamel coating expands to fast, a so called 'Thermal Shock' will happen, this results in the wrinkling of your barbecue.

How do I extinguish my charcoal barbecue?

When you're done grilling you should follow the following steps to extinguish your barbecue:
- Close the damper on the lid
- Close the damper(s) on the bowl
This will stop oxygen from getting in the barbecue. We recommend to leave the dampers closed overnight to make sure the charcoal or briquettes won't turn on again. Once the grill is completely cooled you can empty the ash tray and clean your barbecue.

Do not use water or any other extinguishing materials to cool your barbecue. This can damage the enamel coating of your grill.

Below you will find a table with the recommended amount per fuel type for both indirect and direct grilling.
