BBQ plate and grate for CUBY 80 x 80 cm

• Heats up with good quality solid fuel. Ready in 30-60 min.
• Removable grill plate base in 12 mm carbon steel.
• Removable grill grate in 12 mm carbon steel.
• Total grilling area 0.64 m2. Center opening is 35 x 35 cm.
• The height of the grill grate is 11.2 cm. There is a 10 cm opening for firewood.
• Requires regular oiling of the grill plate and grate - otherwise completely maintenance-free.
• Over time, the grill plate and grate develop many thin layers of oil. This creates a non-stick surface that also retains the aroma of meat and spices.
• The grill plate achieves several different temperature zones. Hottest towards the center.
• Can be left outdoors and used for grilling all year round. The need for continuous oiling is reduced by purchasing a lid. The lid should only be used when the grill plate is cold.
• Designed and produced by byJEMA in Denmark.

Note: The grill plate must be placed completely flat. Also be aware of the risk of oil spillage on the surface.

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 sunflower or rapeseed oil - an oil with a high burning 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.

Solid fuel heating 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 also easily be sanded to a brand new clean surface.
