Cruccolini Gran Ristoro - Wood and charcoal barbecue

Heavy-duty handcrafted large size charcoal barbecue

Cooking surface: 69x45 cm

These BBQ models come with a "heavy-duty structure” entirely built with 1.5 mm thick steel sheets. This makes them extremely resistant to the wear and tear action of fire over the years.

The embers support grate is 3 mm thick and consists of grill rods welded at the edges under which a supporting tubular frame gives the BBQ such sturdiness to make it suitable for use with wood (the only one on the charcoal bbq market to be equipped with this feature).

The first models, built in 1987, are still in use today...

The BBQ structure (unlike the main handicraft productions) is covered in a special high-temperature paint, which guarantees higher resistance than normal (except for the areas directly affected by the fire).
Fuel type:

• charcoal
• wood
• simultaneously fuelled with both

When fuelled by charcoal, the barbecue is ready for cooking in just 4 minutes.

The BBQ can also be fuelled with wood. Furthermore, thanks also to the non-stop cooking system that uses the separation of the brazier from the cooking area, it is possible to always have hot embers available to cook a large number of dishes for your guests.

The barbecue can therefore be fuelled with wood and charcoal at the same time

Sturdy 12 mm thick wood combustion chamber

The front protection plate made of sturdy perforated sheet metal allows:
- the passage of heat for cooking with the skewers placed horizontally
- the passage of heat for cooking with the spit roaster accessory, to be purchased separately
- perfect oxygenation of the flame, facilitating combustion
- it does not allow combustion residues, such as ash, charcoal, etc., to pass through and lay on the food being cooked.

This model also mounts an additional rear protective panel that offers the following advantages:

- retain heat at a lower temperature than the adjacent inner sheet which is directly in contact with fire
- greater durability of the paint used on these panels as they are external and far from the flame

The wood combustion chamber can be covered by closing the lid. The lid protects the barbecue from dirt and the elements when not used and ensures the highest level of hygiene.

• Cooking surface: 69x45 cm
• Sturdy stainless steel grid built with a special wide channel system which allows to convey fats and oils released during cooking to channel them towards to the ladle on the corner. The system is implemented by means of a very slight slope of the cooking surface (not perceptible to the user), which causes the channeled fat to drain into the ladle.
  The advantages are drastic reduction of fats drainage on coals, thus minimising the smoke generated by fats burning. Cooking quality is improved and made healthier, as less fumes reach the food.
• Adjustable cooking grid on 3 positions
• Durable embers support grate with 3 mm thickness (the only model on the market fitted with grill rods welded at the edges on a supporting tubular frame) This type of structure ensures great sturdiness and flexibility to the grate while absorbing the stress due to heat and preserving its life.

• Transport wheels
• Grease recovery system (thanks to the particular sloping shape of the cooking surface, fats and oils drain directly into the dedicated ladle without falling on the hot coals)
• Weight: 29 Kg
• Pull-out ash drawer for easy cleaning

Electric spit roaster: fits perfectly on the barbecue structure, useful for cooking roasts that require constant turning and rotating.

Heavy-duty chimney charcoal starter: ensures quick and easy lighting of briquettes or charcoal. It features a charcoal supporting grid on the inside and a practical heat-resistant handle on the outside. It works by filling the top with charcoal and placing it on a burning piece of paper or on a firelighter. Once the charcoal is all lit, simply empty the chimney charcoal starter into the brazier.
