BBQ fire pit CUBY galvanized steel 80 x 80 x 80 cm

Upon delivery, the grill plate and grate will be oiled with a thin layer of protective cooking oil. When first heated, scrape off the top layer with a stainless steel spatula. When the grate is clean and warm, it is ready for the first coat of oil. We recommend using a cooking oil such as rapeseed oil - an oil with a high fire temperature. Apply in thin layers with a cloth or paper. Slowly but surely you will see the protective non-slip dark oil layer forming. Remember to oil the sides of the grill plate and grate as well.

Carbon steel as a grill plate

Our grill plate and grate are made from carbon steel that is then continuously oiled to prevent corrosion. Carbon steel and cast iron are very similar and both are great for cooking. The main difference is that carbon steel contains slightly less carbon than cast iron. Cast iron, due to its very high carbon content, tends to clump together in the material with the risk of breaking and cracking the surface. It risks becoming porous and cracking over time.

Carbon steel is much more uniform and stable in its material structure and heat exposure will not damage the surface. This gives our grill plate and grate an extremely long lifespan.

Heating with solid fuels can cause large temperature fluctuations from the heat source to the grill plate. The very large thickness - 12 mm - of the byJEMA grill plate and grate ensures an even distribution and securing of the temperature in the plate. Once the plate is hot, you are guaranteed many hours of stable heating for your cooking.

Dirt and small flakes of corrosion can be scraped off the plate with a spatula. If necessary, the heavy-duty plate can easily be sanded to a brand new clean surface.

 

• Drip tray - minimizes oil spills on surfaces.
• Lid - covers the grill plate and reduces the need for continuous oiling.
• Stainless steel palette knife - scrapes food debris and oil into the fire.
• Stainless steel oil jug.
• Suede grill gloves.
• Infrared thermometer
• Leather apron.

Note: The grill is food approved.

The grill must be set up completely level. The version with a bottom plate comes with adjustable feet. Also be aware of the risk of oil spillage on the surface. Oil spillage can be minimized by purchasing a drip tray.

• The height of the BBQ plate is 81.5 cm / with wheels 91.5 cm
• Height of the BBQ grill grate is 11.2 cm. There is a 10 cm opening for wood.
• 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 0.64 m2. Opening in the middle is 35 x 35 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 115-130 kg.
• Designprotected.

Galvanized steel is a well-known treatment of steel, where a zinc treatment makes the metal extra hardy and maintenance-free. All byJEMA galvanized products are made from hot-dip galvanized sheet metal that is laser cut, bent and bolted together.

As the hot-dip galvanized surface is broken by laser cutting, some rusting may occur in joints. You could say that about 1/3 of the galvanization is "pulled" through the cut, leaving about 2/3 of the exposed steel. Over time, this cut will develop a form of corrosion and become darker in color than the other parts of the sheet. In the same way that the galvanized surface changes colour over time from a shiny surface to a more matte surface. All byJEMA products, planters and steel benches, are designed with these cuts in mind. As such, the cuts are all uniform and attempted to be hidden via bends on the CUBY series.

Don't worry about the durability of galvanized steel sheet. It is extremely durable in the harsh Scandinavian climate, and any scratches - or the cut for that matter - have a way of repairing themselves as the zinc continues to develop a protective layer.
