Hi there, It does cook evenly, however we rushed it a little for the video and should have let them sit for 5 min as we all know meat is often pink-ish when first taken off the BBQ (assuming you like medium rare). We could have also cooked them for another minute to be 'medium / well done' but we could be accused of the unit over-cooking. Might do another video based on your observation, also now we have the glass thermostat hoods and pizza stones for them!
Yes you sure do. The Charcoal flavour is actually a harmless invisible gas so all the flavours are still there just not the carcinogens. But as you see from the video, if you want to chargrill your food there is no shortage of heat to do that. All we are saying is that if you want smokeless the option is there. Best of both worlds.
Yes it can but we don't reccomend using them as they take around 20 minutes until you are cooking, opposed to just 3 minutes with natural hardwoood charcoal. Charcoal is also a far healthier product to be cooking with. LotusGrill® Australia are about to launch a sustainable Australian arciacia charcoal that is the best charcoal we have tested to date on the BBQ (and we have trialed over a dozen types). On high heat you will get 1.5hrs on the original grill & 2.5hrs on the new XL grill
This thing is awesome!!!! It would be even more awesome if it was just a little bigger. I hope they start considering making it bigger because then I will start saving up for one.
Hi there. I just found your video copied here: Phenix Gril Sound is removed and logo of Lotusgrill is removed from start and end of video. It's now sold as "Phenix Grill". What is difference between Phenix and Lotusgrill? You one is Lotus or Phenix?
It uses natural hardwood charcoal found at any decent BBQ or hardware store. Supermarkets tend to stock inferior man-made products containing chemicals (briquettes and other fake charcoal made out of the likes of compressed burnt sawdust) - Avoid using those
I see regular charcoal was used. Does it work with briquettes as well, because cooking is more controllable and available for much longer? However, I like the idea of minimal smoke because I have limited outdoor space, which is all covered!
