Stainless steel plancha – ideal for smash burgers and everyday cooking

One of the greatest advantages of the El Fuego Boston grill is the large stainless steel plancha measuring 44.5 × 40 cm with a thickness of 3 mm. The smooth grilling plate allows you to prepare food through direct contact with the red-hot surface, enabling you to achieve a significant sear while preserving the juiciness of the ingredients. Unlike a classic grilling grate, smaller food items won't fall through the bars, allowing you to comfortably flip smaller pieces of vegetables, meat, or seafood.

The plancha is particularly suitable for smash burgers, where the meat is pressed onto the hot plate to create a thin patty with a distinct seared surface. On the same surface, you can prepare onions, bacon, or other ingredients needed to assemble your burger. However, thanks to its smooth surface, the plancha isn't just for burgers – it's also excellent for preparing steaks, chicken, fish, prawns, grilled vegetables, potatoes, eggs, or breakfast specialities.

Stainless steel is a durable material that, when used correctly, is suitable for repeated food contact and allows for relatively easy cleaning. The massive 3 mm thick plate helps distribute heat across the grilling surface, which you will appreciate when preparing multiple portions simultaneously.

Cast iron grilling grate for classic grilling

For traditional grilling, the Boston is equipped with a cast iron grate measuring 45 × 45 cm. Cast iron retains heat well and, after proper preheating, allows you to create characteristic grill marks and a deeply seared surface on the meat. The grate is suitable for preparing beef steaks, burgers, pork neck, chicken, sausages, skewers, and vegetables.

A major advantage of the combined design is the ability to use the cast iron grate and the plancha independently, depending on your menu. While you grill meat on one side, you can prepare vegetables or other side dishes on the other. This means you don't have to prepare all the ingredients sequentially on a single grilling surface.

Pizza oven with stone for homemade pizza

A third way to use the Boston grill is baking pizza on a pizza stone with a diameter of 29.5 cm. The set also includes a corresponding pizza oven cover, which creates the necessary baking chamber. The pizza stone absorbs heat and transfers it to the dough, helping to create a well-baked base with a crispier bottom.

In addition to classic homemade pizza, you can also prepare focaccia, small flatbreads, or selected types of pastry on a properly preheated stone. When using it, it is important to follow the correct preheating process and avoid sudden temperature changes, which could damage the stone.

The pizza oven and stainless steel plancha represent alternative options for using the respective grilling section. You can choose the appropriate equipment depending on what you are currently preparing. Meanwhile, the classic grilling section with the cast iron grate can be used simultaneously.

Two separate grilling sections for preparing multiple dishes

El Fuego Boston has two separate grilling sections, which is a significant advantage for family grilling or when preparing food for a larger group. One section is designed for classic gas grilling on a cast iron grate, while the other can be equipped with a stainless steel plancha or pizza baking accessories.

This allows you to, for example, grill steaks and sauté vegetables at the same time, prepare sausages and onions on the plancha, or bake a pizza while simultaneously grilling other dishes on the grate. The grill thus offers greater flexibility when planning your entire menu and reduces the need to use several separate appliances.

Four gas burners with a total power output of 14.4 kW

The grilling sections are heated by four gas burners with 3.6 kW each, providing a combined total power output of 14.4 kW. Individual burners are controlled by rotary knobs on the front of the grill, allowing you to adjust the heat intensity according to the type of food being prepared.

The grill features piezoelectric ignition, allowing for the convenient starting of the burners without a separate lighter. The Boston is designed for use with propane, butane, and their mixtures (LPG). According to the technical specification, it operates at a gas pressure of 50 mbar; therefore, it is necessary to use the appropriate pressure regulator and gas connection.

Integrated thermometer and stainless steel warming rack

The grill is equipped with an integrated thermometer, which allows you to monitor the temperature in the covered grilling area without having to constantly open the lid. This is particularly practical when preparing meat that requires longer and slower grilling. However, the thermometer measures the temperature inside the grill, not directly in the core of the meat, so it is advisable to use a separate probe thermometer to check for doneness.

Included as part of the equipment is a stainless steel warming rack, which you can use to keep finished dishes warm for a short time, toast bread, or gently reheat ingredients. This allows you to better coordinate the preparation of the different parts of your meal.

Side shelves and practical storage space

El Fuego Boston offers two side shelves measuring approximately 31 × 45.5 cm, providing space for plates, ingredients, spices, and grilling tools. Thanks to a working height of approximately 92.5 cm, handling the prepared food remains comfortable even during longer grilling sessions.

The lower part of the structure includes storage shelves suitable for keeping grilling aids and other accessories. However, the gas cylinder must not be placed in the lower storage area of the grill – it must stand outside the structure in a safe place according to the manual.

Two transport wheels allow for easier movement of the cooled-down grill across a suitable flat surface. The assembled Boston measures approximately 147 × 117 × 60.5 cm (width × height × depth) and weighs approximately 32 kg.

First use and proper seasoning of the grill

Before the first use, the device must be correctly assembled, the gas connection checked, and the initial seasoning performed according to the manual. The manufacturer recommends first thoroughly cleaning the grilling grates with warm water and a mild detergent, drying them, and lightly treating the appropriate surfaces with vegetable oil. Then, the grill is heated to approximately 150 °C and left to season for about 30 minutes with the lid closed to remove any production residues.

When lighting, always open the grill lid, ensure the gas connection is correctly assembled, and follow the instructions in the manual. If the burner does not ignite, turn off the gas supply using the corresponding control knob and wait approximately 5 minutes before another attempt.

Safe use of the gas grill

El Fuego Boston is intended exclusively for outdoor use on a flat, stable and non-flammable surface. The manufacturer requires a minimum distance of 1 m from flammable materials and recommends an open area without nearby building structures. Do not use the grill in enclosed spaces, garages or under unsuitable roofing. Never move it or leave it unattended during operation.

Place the gas cylinder outside the grill structure, following the manual's instructions, on the right side of the device where the gas connection is located. Operation requires a suitable gas hose and regulator corresponding to the prescribed pressure of 50 mbar. Before first use, after changing the cylinder, and if a gas leak is suspected, it is necessary to check the tightness of the connections using a suitable detection agent or soapy solution. Never check for leaks using an open flame.

Use grilling gloves when handling hot parts. After grilling, turn off all burners and close the gas cylinder valve. Allow the device to cool down completely before cleaning or moving.

Cleaning and regular maintenance

Regular maintenance helps maintain the correct function of the grill, safe operation and a long lifespan for individual parts. Once completely cooled, remove food residue from the cast iron grate and stainless steel plancha and clean them with agents suitable for the given material. Dry the cast iron grate thoroughly and, if necessary, treat it with a thin layer of edible oil.

Pay special attention to the inspection of the gas burners and their openings. The manufacturer warns that deposits, impurities or insects may restrict the correct flow of gas and air. Therefore, regularly check the condition of the connections and the cleanliness of accessible parts according to the manual. Clean the pizza stone only after it has cooled down completely and avoid sudden temperature changes.

For longer periods of non-use, we recommend cleaning the grill thoroughly and protecting it with a suitable protective cover. Store the gas cylinder separately and in accordance with relevant safety regulations.

What do we recommend buying?

For more comfortable use of the El Fuego Boston grill, we recommend high-quality grilling tongs, a smash burger turner, gloves and a meat thermometer. When preparing pizza, you will also appreciate a pizza peel and suitable tools for working with dough.
