FAQ | Quan

Cooking on a woodfired grill is a totally different experience when compared to traditional charcoal bbq. This kind of cooking is sometimes called 'plancha' (from Spanish) or 'tepanyaki' (Japanese). First you start a fire in the firepit and wait for the steel top plate to heat up (which takes approximately 30 minutes). Once the top plate is hot you are ready to cook. You can see what it's like on a video below:

These sizes are now included in all model names of our products, which makes it easier to compare them. The only exception from this rule is The Rolling Kitchen, which always was and always will be equipped with a large fire plate 100 x 100cm.

Our 'rusty' products are actually made out of Corten, which is a kind of weathering steel. The material forms a protective layer on its surface (which looks like rust) to prevent further corrosion. You can learn more about the process on Wikipedia. It is important to note that the process of forming of the protective layer may take up to six months, during which the surroundings may get dirty or stained. To prevent it from happening use protective foil on your terrace floor.
