Whistler Ceramic Briquette Trays

Designed to offer you the benefits of both gas and charcoal cooking, ceramic briquettes distribute heat evenly throughout your grill and are great at retaining heat, reducing the amount of energy it takes to keep your BBQ hot. With many beneficial features such as being long lasting and self-cleaning, as well as a great food flavouring tool, ceramic briquettes are a great solution to heat disbursement and retention.

How to use: Swap the flame tamer over to a Ceramic Briquette Tray (use as many trays as you’d like across the grill) then put the cooking grate back on top. Switch the BBQ on as usual and allow the briquettes to heat up, these should change in colour once hot enough. Once these are fully heated, you can start cooking as normal. You may even choose to turn the gas down or turn off completely, depending on what you’re cooking.

Are Ceramic Briquettes worth it?:

Ceramic briquettes are a good investment for anyone who likes to grill and is concerned about the environment. They stay hotter longer, even after the grill is turned off, saving you on fuel and energy. They also have a longer lifetime, which means you don't have to replace them as often.

How long do they last?:

With proper maintenance, quality ceramic briquettes can last you about 4-5 years, even with regular use.

Cleaning:

As in cooking, maintaining hygiene is a must while grilling. If your ceramic briquettes are not cleaned, the food grease and particles cling to the briquettes surface. This can create problems like attracting insects and rodents, food contamination, and a decrease in the briquettes’ performance.

To avoid these problems and ensure that your ceramic briquettes last you long, it is best to clean your briquettes after every cook.

Here are the steps for cleaning your ceramic briquettes:

Once you are done cooking, and the grill has cooled down, wipe off the food particles with a dry paper towel and turn the briquette tray over. If you are not using a briquette tray, turn each briquette over so that the greasy surface is pointing downwards.

Crank up the heat and shut the grill lid. Leave it like that for 15-20 minutes.

This should get rid of all the food residue. If not, use a wire brush scrub off any remaining residue.

You should be done at this point, but if you want to clean the briquette tray, remove the briquettes and clean the tray as you would your grill grates.
