Six main burners and a separate side burner

The Detroit grill is equipped with six main burners with an output of 2.5 kW, which allow the cooking area to be divided into several temperature zones. Depending on the food being prepared, you can regulate the individual burners and combine direct and indirect grilling.

The separate 3 kW side burner can be used, for example, for preparing sauces, side dishes, or heating marinades. While meat is cooking on the main grate, you can simultaneously prepare another part of the meal on the side burner.

Cast iron grate and griddle in one

A major advantage of the Detroit model is the grilling area of 82 × 38 cm, which consists of approximately two-thirds cast iron grate and one-third solid cast iron griddle.

Cast iron grate is suitable for classic grilling of steaks, burgers, sausages, or larger pieces of vegetables. Cast iron accumulates and transfers heat well, helping to create characteristic grill marks.

Solid cast iron griddle expands the cooking options to include smaller pieces of vegetables, fish, or ingredients that would fall through a standard grate.

There is also an additional warming rack above the main grilling surface, which you can use to set aside finished dishes or warm bread.

Double-walled lid and temperature control

The grill is equipped with a double-walled lid, which helps limit heat loss when grilling with the lid closed.

The integrated thermometer allows you to monitor the temperature inside the grill without needing to open the lid repeatedly. Thanks to the individual control of each burner, you can adjust the heat intensity for different types of food.

Electric ignition and LED backlit control knobs ensure easier operation, which you will especially appreciate during evening grilling.

Practical equipment for convenient grilling

The Detroit offers two spacious side shelves measuring approximately 35 × 43 cm, where you can place ingredients, utensils, or prepared food.

There is a lockable cabinet for grilling accessories in the lower part of the grill. The structure is equipped with four wheels, two of which have brakes to secure the grill in place.

Maintenance is made easier by a removable grease tray.

Gas connection and safe use

The grill is designed for propane, butane, and their mixtures (LPG) with a working pressure of 50 mbar.

For El Fuego grills delivered to customers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, we also include a gas hose and a reduction for connecting the regulator to the gas cylinder, depending on the current offer. Before use, it is always necessary to verify the correct installation of the entire gas connection and perform a leak check.

Important: The gas cylinder must be placed outside the grill. The manufacturer prohibits its placement or storage in the lower cabinet.

Use the grill exclusively outdoors on a flat, stable, and non-flammable surface. Never leave it unattended during operation.

First use and maintenance

Before the first grilling, the manufacturer recommends cleaning the grilling grates, drying them thoroughly, and preparing them according to the instructions. Subsequently, it is necessary to burn in the grill for approximately 30 minutes at a temperature of around 150 °C with the lid closed.

After grilling, close the gas supply and let the appliance cool down completely. Regularly clean the cast iron surfaces and the grease tray, and check the condition of the burners and the gas connection.

What do we recommend buying?

For a more comfortable grilling experience, we recommend suitable grill accessories, such as protective gloves, grilling tongs, or a meat thermometer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a cast iron grate and a griddle plate?

The grate is primarily suitable for classic grilling of meat and vegetables. The solid plate allows you to prepare smaller or more delicate ingredients that might otherwise fall through the grate.

Can I prepare multiple types of food on the grill simultaneously?

Yes. Six independently adjustable main burners allow you to create different temperature zones. The side burner can be used simultaneously for side dishes or sauces.

Is it possible to store the gas cylinder in the bottom cabinet?

No. The manufacturer expressly forbids the placement or storage of the gas cylinder inside the grill. The bottom cabinet is intended for accessories.

What pressure regulator does the grill require?

The grill requires a regulator for a working pressure of 50 mbar, which meets the manufacturer's requirements and the type of gas cylinder used.
