Grilling Methods

MONOLITH grills combines all the advantages of a classical grill with those of a stone oven. Barbecue, low temperature cooking, baking, smoking… Whichever way you prepare your food, with MONOLITH grills you will always achieve perfect results. Whether you need high temperatures to grill steaks or low temperatures to cook a large piece of meat for hours, MONOLITH grills will make it happen!

Much like stone ovens, MONOLITH is also perfect for baking pizza or bread. The cooking temperature ranges from 70 °C to 400 °C.

Thanks to its high efficiency MONOLITH grills need very little energy to generate and maintain the desired temperatures. When preparing food at low temperatures, a 3-kg bag of charcoal will last you up to 24 hours. Very little oxygen is required; therefore the air movement inside the grill is extremely low. This prevents the meat from drying out and keeps it juicy.

Do you need to grill just two steaks quickly? No problem. Thanks to the chimney effect, the charcoal heats up extremely fast. Steaks are grilled at high temperatures. When the meat is ready, close the air supply openings. The grill and the fire box are very well sealed, the embers die out almost immediately and you can re-use them for your next grilling.

Direct Grilling For this grilling method the rack is placed on the fire ring directly over the hot coals. The prepared food needs to be turned regularly in order to be grilled just right from both sides.	Smoking Different options exist for smoking food – smoking with wood, wood chips or wood flour. After heating the grill up, close the air regulator, thus minimising the intake of air. By adding different kinds of seasoning or spices destined for smoked food, you can change the flavour of your meal as you wish.
Indirect Grilling The deflector stone is placed on the fire ring protecting the food from direct heat. The grill rack is raised using the spacer. Indirect grilling takes place at low temperatures. With indirect grilling you can delicately grill large pieces of meat, fish or even a whole chicken.	Baking The pizza stone is placed on the second tier of the rack and the MONOLITH grill is heated to 300 °C – 350 °C.
