Frequently Asked Questions About Corten Grills
Q1: How heavy is the BG5 with 10mm steel?
A: Due to the substantial 10mm thickness, the grill is extremely heavy—typically several hundred kilograms. This weight contributes to its stability, heat retention, and permanence. Professional delivery and placement are recommended.
Q2: Does the thick steel make it difficult to heat up?
A: While 10mm steel takes slightly longer to reach temperature initially, it maintains heat far better than thin-walled grills. Once hot, it stays hot, requiring less fuel for consistent cooking and enabling superior searing.
Q3: Will the Corten steel rust through?
A: No. Corten steel develops a stable, protective patina that prevents deeper corrosion. The 10mm thickness provides an additional safety margin, ensuring decades of service.
Q4: What maintenance is required?
A: Virtually none. The steel requires no painting or sealing. Simply cook, enjoy, and let the patina develop naturally. Occasional ash removal is the only routine task.
Q5: Can I leave it outside year-round?
A: Absolutely. The BG5 is designed for permanent outdoor installation. Rain, snow, and sun only enhance its appearance as the patina develops.
Q6: What fuel should I use?
A: For charcoal/wood models, use natural lump charcoal or seasoned hardwoods (oak, hickory, mesquite).
Q7: How do I clean the cooking grate?
A: Standard grill cleaning methods apply. Heat the grill to burn off residue, then brush with a stiff wire brush. The Corten steel body requires no cleaning.
Q8: Can I customize the size?
A: Yes. While the BG5 is our standard model, we offer custom sizing to meet your specific requirements.
Q9: Do you offer accessories?
A: Yes. We offer a range of accessories, including custom grates, side tables, rotisserie kits, griddle plates, and protective covers.
