The Konro BBQ Grill is a specialized grilling appliance designed for use with charcoal, offering a traditional grilling experience. It is primarily intended for outdoor use or in well-ventilated areas due to the production of soot and smoke. The grill's body is constructed from Diatomearth, a material known for its heat retention properties, which contributes to efficient cooking.

Function Description:

The Konro BBQ Grill functions as a charcoal-fired grill, allowing users to cook food by placing it on a metal mesh over lit charcoal. The design emphasizes controlled heat and even cooking, which is achieved by adjusting ventilation windows to regulate thermal power. It is suitable for grilling various foods, as depicted with salmon in the provided images. The grill is designed for stationary use during operation, and its compact nature suggests it might be used for smaller gatherings or specific grilling techniques.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific dimensions and weight are not provided, the grill's construction from Diatomearth is a key technical detail. This material is known to be fragile and susceptible to cracking from strong impacts, such as dropping or hitting. The grill includes metal parts, which can become hot during use and may have sharp edges, requiring careful handling. The design incorporates ventilation windows, which are crucial for adjusting the heat intensity. The grill is designed to be used with gel/solid fuel for ignition and charcoal as the primary heat source.

Usage Features:

• Preparation: Users should spread charcoal to cover only the inner bottom of the grill, avoiding excessive amounts to prevent the fire from becoming too strong.
• Ignition: The process involves lighting gel/solid fuel first, then placing charcoal on top. It is crucial to ensure the charcoal is fully lit before spreading it.
• Thermal Control: The grill features ventilation windows that allow users to adjust the thermal power, providing control over the cooking temperature.
• Charcoal Management: When adding charcoal, users are advised to add only the necessary amount.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Always use the grill in well-ventilated areas.
  • The bottom of the grill gets hot; therefore, it should not be placed directly on heat-sensitive surfaces like tatami mats or carpets. A fireproof board should be used underneath when placing it on flooring or tables.
  • The grill should not be moved during use to prevent burns.
  • It should never be left unattended while in operation.
  • After use and before storage, ensure the fire is completely extinguished.
  • Handle hot metal parts with care to avoid burns.
  • Be mindful of wind direction when using outdoors, as soot and smoke may fly about.
  • Ensure the grill is on a stable and horizontal surface before use.
  • Do not pour water into the grill to extinguish the fire, as this can cause the Diatomearth body to crack due to sudden temperature changes.
  • Avoid getting the grill body wet. If it gets slightly wet, allow it to dry completely before storing. If it contains a large amount of water, it will not perform well until thoroughly dried, which can be achieved by placing lit charcoal inside to dry it out.
  • Do not place flammable materials, such as mats, under the grill.
  • Exercise caution regarding ventilation when using indoors.

Maintenance Features:

• Extinguishing Charcoal: Wait for the used charcoal to extinguish completely before discarding it, or immerse the charcoal in water to extinguish it.
• Cleaning the Body: Wipe any dirt off the grill body with a wet cloth. Do not pour water directly onto the grill body.
• Cooling Down: Do not store the grill until it has completely cooled down.
• Cleaning the Metal Mesh: The metal mesh should be washed with a brush and detergent.
• Storage: Keep the Konro BBQ Grill away from water and humidity when storing to prevent damage and ensure proper ignition for future use.
