Lava rock

The grill is supplied with natural lava rock. Because of the porosity of natural lava rock it is superior in its ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. It also possesses the thermal mass needed for professional results. Flare-ups are controlled because the lava radiant keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by this system produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized.

Place lava rocks in a single layer on top of the radiant located under the grill rack. It is important to distribute the rocks evenly over the stainless steel radiant tray without leaving any large gaps. Uneven distribution of rocks and air gaps can cause localized “hot” and “cold” spots which could result in unsatisfactory cooking performance.
