Let’s assume that you’ve done the obvious thing and checked that you have sufficient ‘fuel in the tank’. If that’s all good, then it’s worth knowing that some of the Bull BBQ models come with a reset button on the regulator (the part that connects to the gas bottle).

If your gas isn’t flowing, ensure the regulator is properly attached to your gas bottle, press the reset button shown in the image below, this will then allow the gas to flow again.

All our BBQs, pizza ovens and Chef’s Anvils come with covers as standard, and we recommend keeping the covers on when not in use. The kitchen itself is designed to be left outside all year no matter the weather.

The kitchen is made of a mix of black powder-coated, heavy-gauge aluminium with Iroko Hardwood. The Iroko hardwood is very hard-wearing, low maintenance and very durable, and over time it gently silvers, creating a sun-bleached effect if left uncoated. Some people prefer to put a stain or oil on to retain the original colours for longer. For more information, please visit how to care for the Iroko hardwood.

For the best grilling experience, we recommend using high-quality charcoal as opposed to briquettes. Look for hardwood lump charcoal or those labelled ‘all-natural’ when making your purchase. Avoid purchasing charcoal that you see on a garage forecourt or that is labelled ‘easy light’ as this is full of toxic chemicals.

Hardwood lump or ‘all natural’ charcoal is better to use in your charcoal BBQ for a number of reasons. Read on to find out why!

We have several videos that take you through the how to use your Gusto Charcoal BBQ. Please visit see the video on how to cure your Gusto.

Once the fire is lit it takes about 25 min for the Pizza Oven to get to full heat, and be ready to cook pizzas. Read more on the Delivita pizza oven page.

It takes approximately 35 mins for the Gusto Charcoal BBQ to be ready to cook, once the coals have been lit. Read more on the Gusto page.

You may notice tiny cracks appear on the outside shiny surface of your Gusto ceramic grill.  This is normal, it’s called “Crazing” and it happens on all ceramic BBQs on the market. It is caused by the different expansion rates between the ceramic and the glazing. It is not cracking and does not harm the BBQ or cooking performance. The solution is to clean the surface with a clean dry cloth to remove the fine dust that forms from the crazing process. Once you’ve done this, the tiny cracks will be hardly visible. Read more on the Gusto page.

It takes only 5-10 minutes for the Bull Gas BBQ to be ready to start cooking on. Read more on the Bull Gas BBQ page.

For information on which gas bottle to use with the Bull gas BBQ, please visit our blog on which gas bottle to use.

Both BBQs are ceramic Kamado style cooking devices. Many of our clients prefer the Gusto as it matches nicely with the Grillo outdoor kitchen range. Read more on our blog: Kamado BBQ comparison.
