The Z Grills MINI BBQ hotplate is an optional accessory specifically designed to fit in Z Grills
MINI smokers for hotplate BBQ style cooking.
The cast iron hotplate is pre-seasoned but will benefit from additional oil seasoning.
Season, clean and care for the hotplate like any other cast iron cookware.
How to use
•
Remove the grill rack and grease tray.
•
Sit the hot plate directly over the fire-pot, either smooth or ridged side up.
•
Cast iron takes times to heat up, so place in the grill as early as possible, not just before
placing on food.
•
The grill will loose heat rapidly with the lid open, so if you need to flip food, do it fast and
close the lid. Remember,
If you keep looking, you’re not cooking!
•
Never pour cold liquid onto a hot cast iron plate as it can crack due to rapid cooling.
•
Avoid spilling food and oil over the edges of the hotplate down into the fire-pot area as it
will mix with ash and be a mess to clean up and could lead to a dangerous grease fire.
•
If any food or grease spills down into the fire-pot box, wait until the grill has cooled down
and wipe up with paper towel or BBQ cleaning wipes.
•
Clean the hotplate with hot soapy water. Use a plastic brush (never metal) to scrub if
required. Dry thoroughly and lightly oil before storing.
•
If the hotplate shows signs of rust, rub back and season again the same as any cast iron
cookware. There are many tutorial videos online with step by step instructions.
