Product Information

Safety– Ensure that the charcoal is completely extinguished or burnt out before moving it. Always use heat protection, such as heat-resistant gloves and tools, when handling anything hot. The Oklahoma Joe Combo is one of the highlights of the series, and manages to combine the best of smoking and grilling in one beautiful unit. Side trays: Sitting either side of the grill, these are helpful for preparing and storing food while you’re cooking. Make sure you don’t keep food that needs refrigerating out for too long before you put it on the BBQ though.

Napoleon gas barbecues also incorporate charcoal trays. These trays sit above the gas burner, and the gas is used to heat and burn the charcoal. This means that you can enjoy the reliability and uniform heating that gas has to offer, while still enjoying the authentic taste of charcoal grilled food. Simply fill the tray with charcoal and place it in the barbecue above the gas burner, light the burner, and you will be ready to cook in just a few minutes. The big test comes when you put the starter chimney full of coals in the middle of the tray. That's the maximum weight your tray will normally see - and in this case I had no bowing in either direction. I ran a complete set of coals through an entire heating cycle to burn off any oils or whatever before using it.
