FAQs

How do I maintain a brick BBQ?

Proper maintenance can make your masonry BBQ last for years. Remove used charcoal before you light up the BBQ and brush out any ash. Using a BBQ brush on the grill when it’s hot will make it nice and shiny before cooking, and these should be stored away if you’re not using them to avoid rusting over time.

Can I build a brick BBQ myself?

If you have the necessary skills, we wouldn’t want to stop you… but with so many beautiful brick BBQs to choose from, many grill enthusiasts prefer to choose from a designed masonry BBQ for convenience.

Can I use my masonry BBQ for other cooking besides grilling?

How to use a masonry barbecue?

Start your coals in a charcoal chimney, or pile them into a pyramid shape. Once lit, wait until the flames have died down and the coals have a grey, sooty appearance. Charcoal is a good fuel choice since wood can block the chimney with soot.

How to clean a masonry barbecue?

Gently scrub off rust and food particles with a clothes brush. For tough stains, use warm water and dishwashing liquid. For easy cleaning before grilling, heat up your grill tray on the BBQ before using a stiff brush to clean it.
