CosmoGrill Yamara 6+2 Gas BBQ (Silver, 8 Burner)

What size gas cylinder does this barbecue accommodate?

The enclosed cabinet is designed to hold gas canisters weighing between 5-11kg. This includes standard patio gas bottles commonly available in the UK. The cabinet provides adequate ventilation whilst keeping the cylinder secure and out of sight. A 37 mbar propane gas regulator is included with the barbecue.

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly usually takes 2-3 hours with two people working together. The barbecue arrives in three boxes containing all necessary components. Whilst the instruction manual uses pictorial guidance rather than detailed text, most users find the assembly process straightforward. Having a second person helps with handling larger panels and ensures safer construction.

Does the viewing window fog up during cooking?

The tempered glass viewing window is designed with anti-fog properties to maintain clear visibility during cooking. The glass construction and positioning minimise condensation buildup. This allows you to monitor food progress without opening the hood and losing heat, which is particularly useful for longer cooking sessions.

What is the total cooking area available?

The main grilling surface measures 90.2cm x 41.5cm, providing substantial space for large gatherings. Additionally, there's a warming rack above the main cooking area and a removable round grill grate (approximately 30.5cm diameter) that can accommodate pizza stones or woks. This multi-level cooking system maximises food preparation capacity.

How hot does this barbecue get?

The barbecue reaches maximum temperatures of 400°C with all burners operating at full power. The 28.2kW total output (six 3.5kW main burners, one 3.2kW back burner and one 4kW sear burner) provides exceptional heat control. This temperature range handles everything from slow cooking to high-heat searing.

Is the barbecue suitable for year-round outdoor use?

The rust-resistant stainless steel construction is designed for outdoor use throughout the year. However, using a protective cover during harsh weather conditions will extend the barbecue's lifespan. The materials resist corrosion better than standard steel alternatives, but proper maintenance and protection enhance durability.

What maintenance is required for the cast iron grill plates?

Cast iron grill plates require seasoning before first use and regular oiling after cleaning to prevent rust. Clean them whilst warm using a grill brush, then apply a light coating of cooking oil. Proper maintenance develops a natural non-stick surface and prevents corrosion. The four-piece design makes cleaning and maintenance more manageable.

Can this barbecue be moved easily around the garden?

Four lockable castor wheels enable easy movement across patios and garden surfaces. The wheels lock securely in position during cooking for stability and safety. Despite the 60kg weight, the wheel system makes repositioning manageable for most users. This mobility allows you to optimise positioning based on wind conditions or social arrangements.
