Rotating charcoal,
stocked in Australia.

Three stainless steel frames, each available as a flat grate or racked for skewers. The defining part is the same across all of them: the grate is one piece on a single pivot, so one handle turns everything over at once.

That matters more than it sounds. A charcoal bed is never evenly hot. Cook on a fixed grate and you spend the whole time moving food around with tongs, chasing the hot spots and losing heat every time you lift the lid. Turn the whole grate instead and every piece passes through the same heat in the same order.

• F1 is the open frame with an adjustable charcoal tray, so you can set the gap between coals and grate.
• F2 has an enclosed body that holds heat steadier in wind.
• F5 is the large frame with a full-width flip grate, for cooking at volume.

We import units and hold them in Australia, so orders ship domestically rather than going back to a factory overseas each time someone buys one. It costs more to run that way and it is the reason we carry a narrow range instead of a broad one.

The practical benefit is that delivery is measured in days rather than weeks, and if something needs replacing we can usually send the part rather than the whole unit.

The frames are designed and manufactured by Blaze For, whose F-series these are. The bodies are stainless steel and the charcoal trays are thickened high-carbon steel, perforated, and they pull clear of the frame for loading and cleaning.

The frames are bolted rather than welded. That is not a cost decision so much as a serviceability one: it packs flat, and a single damaged part can be replaced without writing off the whole thing.

We currently stock the charcoal models only. The electric models in the F-series are not offered in Australia, because mains appliances sold here need to be registered and marked under the Electrical Equipment Safety System, and we will not list them until that is done properly.
