Charcoal BBQs
Charcoal BBQ FAQ
What makes a charcoal BBQ "heavy duty"?
A heavy duty charcoal BBQ is built from thicker steel and more substantial construction than a basic charcoal grill, designed to handle frequent use and last for years outdoors rather than a single season. It typically holds heat more evenly too, since thicker materials retain temperature better than thin, lightweight steel.
What's the difference between stainless steel and corten steel for a BBQ?
Stainless steel gives a clean, contemporary finish that's easy to wipe down and keep looking sharp. Corten steel develops a rust-coloured patina over time, needs no maintenance, and suits a more rustic garden style. Both are genuinely durable outdoors — the choice comes down to the look you prefer.
Can a charcoal BBQ also be used for outdoor heating?
Yes — our BBQube Grill & Heater range is built specifically to combine charcoal cooking with outdoor warmth in one product, so you're not buying a separate fire pit and BBQ if you want both functions.
Is a table grill big enough to cook for a group?
It depends on the model and group size. Blok's standard Naka Table Grill suits smaller groups, while the Wide version offers considerably more cooking surface for larger gatherings. If you're regularly cooking for more than a handful of people, the Wide model is worth considering over the standard size.
