1
Combustion stays close to the
burner surface, which superheats
the burner.
Result
: More of the energy goes into
heating the ceramic than in producing
hot gases.

The quartz glass dome keeps the
hot combustion air inside the
combustion zone for longer.

dome, and the hot gases don’t have a
direct path to the food.
3
Heat builds up in the quartz glass
dome which then re-radiates in a
geometric arc.
Result
: food is cooked more by radiation
than by hot air.
The ceramic burner / glass dome combination provides better cooking by increasing radiant heat and
噝
Food dries out less because there is less hot air movement around the food
噝
: A higher proportion of the energy is used to focus radiant
heat directly onto the food,
rather than heating air which quickly escapes.
About Burners
If you wish to substitute
a cast iron burner for an RQT burner, you can purchase extra RQT burners and quartz dome
from Barbeques Galore (code # ZGBTS / SKQ ). Note that RQT burners are designed for exceptional cooking under a
grill and not use a rock tray or flame tamer. RQT burners work even better than standard cast iron burners under the
hotplate as well as under the grill.
The ceramic glass is made of near pure quartz SiO
2
crystals, without the additives typi-
cally found in ordinary glass. The material’s high chemical purity has many direct ben-
s
Minimises the interaction with radiation and so allows for higher transmission
s
Much higher operating temperatures (over 1200°C)
s
Greatly enhanced mechanical strength and resistance to shock
