BBQ Fire Pit CUBY Corten steel 60 x 60 x 40 cm.

The BBQ plate and grate comes pre-oiled with a thin protective layer of cooking oil. When you heat up the BBQ for the first time, scrape off the top layer using a stainless steel palette spatula. Once the grate is clean and hot, it is ready for the first application of oil. We recommend you use a cooking oil such as rapeseed oil - an oil with a high smoke point. Apply in thin layers using a cloth or paper towel. Gradually you will be able to see the formation of a protective, non-slip dark layer of oil. Remember to also apply oil to the sides of the BBQ plate and grate.

Carbon steel BBQ plate

Our BBQ plate and grate are made of carbon steel that needs to be oiled regularly to prevent corrosion. Carbon steel and cast iron are very similar and both are excellent for cooking. The biggest difference is that carbon steel contains a little less carbon than cast iron. Due to its high carbon content, cast iron has a tendency to clump together in the material which means there is a risk of fractures and cracks appearing on the surface. There is a risk of these becoming porous and cracking over time.

The structure f the material in carbon steel is more uniform and stable and the effects of heat will not damage the surface. The lifetime of our BBQ plate and grill is therefore extremely long.

Heating up the grill using solid fuel can result in large fluctuations in temperature between the heat source and BBQ plate . The very large thickness - 12 mm. of the byJEMA BBQ plate and grate ensures a guaranteed temperature and even distribution of temperature throughout the plate. Once the plate is warm you are guaranteed many hours of stable heated plate for your cooking.

Dirt and small particles of corrosion can be scraped off using a palette spatula. If it becomes necessary at some point, the heavy duty plate can also be sanded to create a clean surface that is like new.

• Drip tray - minimizes oil spills on surfaces.
• Lid - covers the grill plate and reduces the need for continuous oiling.
• Spatula in stainless steel - scrapes leftover food and oil into the fire.
• Stainless steel oil jug.
• Barbeque gloves in suede
• Infrared thermometer
• Leather apron

Note: The grill is food approved by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.

The BBQ must be set up completely level. Adjustable feet are supplied with the version that includes a bottom plate. Also be aware of the risk of spilling oil on the underlay. Oil spill can be minimised when you purchase a drip tray.

• The height of the BBQ plate is 41.5 cm. / with wheels 51.5 cm.
• Height of the BBQ grill grate is 11.2 cm. There is a 10 cm. opening for fuel.
• When placed on grass or gravel, the version without a base plate can be used. For tiles and other solid surfaces, we recommend a base plate with adjustable feet or wheels.
• Total BBQing area 0.36 m2. Opening in the middle is 25 x 25 cm.
• The BBQ plate and grate require regular oiling approx. every 2 weeks - otherwise completely maintenance free. Can remain outside all year round.
• In time, a thin layer of oil will build up on the BBQ plate and grate. This creates a non-stick surface that also helps retain the aroma of meat and spices.
• The BBQ plate reaches different temperature zones. The hottest is towards the middle. Heated with good quality solid fuel. Ready in 30-60 min.
• Total weight 75-90 kg.
• Designprotected.

The steel is delivered with a small oil film and is thus not rusted on delivery. We therefore recommend a wash with lukewarm soapy water after installation to remove the oil film. Within a few weeks, depending on rainfall, the rust process will begin. If you are impatient, the process can be accelerated by a single wash followed by a salt water spray.

The final patination takes several years, during which the rust layer develops and forms a protective film on the surface. The color will go from completely orange to slightly darker over time.

A beautiful development.

When placing on tiles or wood, the surface must be protected against rust markings for the first time, as the rust in rain will drip onto the surface. This decreases after a few months, but we always recommend paying attention. Corten steel lasts up to 8 times longer than ordinary steel.
The climate corten steel used in plays a significant role in durability. In optimal conditions, corten steel in gardens will last over 50 years, while a saline air will negatively affect longevity.
