CosmoGrill Yamara 6+2 (Silver, 8 Burner)

What size gas bottle does this barbecue accommodate?

The CosmoGrill Yamara 6+2 accommodates gas bottles from 5kg up to 15kg capacity. The enclosed cabinet is specifically designed to house standard UK patio gas bottles (propane) whilst keeping them secure and protected. The included 37 mbar regulator connects directly to propane bottles with the standard UK fitting.

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly usually takes 2-3 hours with two people working together. The barbecue arrives in three boxes with all necessary hardware included. Whilst the instruction manual uses pictorial guides rather than written descriptions, most customers find the assembly straightforward. Having a second person helps with handling larger panels and ensures proper alignment during construction.

Does the viewing window fog up during cooking?

The tempered glass viewing window features anti-fog properties that maintain clear visibility throughout cooking. The double-glazed design and proper ventilation prevent condensation build-up that typically occurs with single-pane glass. This allows continuous monitoring without opening the hood and losing valuable heat.

What is the actual cooking area size?

The main cooking surface measures 90.2cm x 41.5cm, providing substantial space for large gatherings. This area easily accommodates 18 burgers plus sausages simultaneously, as confirmed by customer reviews. The additional warming rack above provides extra space for keeping food warm or indirect cooking of delicate items.

How hot does this barbecue get?

With 28.2kW total output, this barbecue reaches maximum temperatures of 400°C. The six main burners provide consistent heat across the cooking surface, whilst the ceramic infrared sear burner achieves even higher temperatures for perfect steak searing. Heat-up time is significantly faster than lower-powered models.

Are replacement parts available?

CosmoGrill provides replacement parts for their Yamara series, including cast iron grill grates, drip trays and burner components. The modular design allows individual components to be replaced without requiring complete unit replacement. Contact CosmoGrill directly for specific part availability and pricing.

Can this barbecue be left outside year-round?

Whilst the stainless steel construction resists rust better than standard steel models, a protective cover is recommended for year-round outdoor storage. The premium materials withstand British weather conditions, but covering extends lifespan and maintains appearance. Note that a cover is not included with purchase.

What makes the LED lights useful?

The rotary dial LED lights display blue when burners are off and red when lit, providing instant visual confirmation of burner status. This safety feature prevents accidental gas leaks and helps identify which burners remain active during cooking. The lights are particularly useful during evening barbecuing when visibility is reduced.
