Introduction
Love the convenience of propane but can't give up the smoky flavor of charcoal? The BESTFIRE Dual Fuel Grill offers the perfect answer — propane on the left, charcoal on the right, combining two cooking souls in one powerful grill.
With 327 square inches of total cooking space, this grill brings together the quick ignition of propane and the rich, authentic taste of charcoal — making it ideal for backyard gatherings, camping trips, and outdoor feasts.
1. Dual Fuel Design: One Grill, Two Flavors
The core strength of the BESTFIRE Dual Fuel Grill lies in its independent dual-fuel system:
-
Left side: Propane gas system — Equipped with a U-shaped stainless steel burner delivering a steady 12,000 BTU of heat. Perfect for quick heating, searing steaks, and cooking vegetables that require precise temperature control.
-
Right side: Charcoal system — Traditional charcoal burning gives food that irresistible smoky flavor, ideal for slow-grilling ribs, smoking chicken, and other dishes that need time to develop depth.
Both zones are independently controlled, allowing you to cook with propane on one side while slow-smoking with charcoal on the other — making meal preparation faster and more efficient.
2. Spacious Cooking Area:
The total cooking surface of this grill measures an impressive 327 square inches, divided into two zones:
-
140 sq. in. stainless steel cooking grate (right side, charcoal zone) — Ideal for direct grilling meats and vegetables.
-
187 sq. in. cast iron flat-top griddle (left side, propane zone) — Perfect for eggs, pancakes, seafood, and other foods that benefit from a smooth, flat surface.
Whether it's a family dinner or a party with friends, this grill has you covered.
3. Left Side Propane: AA Battery Required for Ignition
Please note: The left-side propane burner requires one AA battery to ignite (battery not included). Here's how to get started:
-
Locate the battery compartment near the left burner.
-
Insert one AA battery following the polarity markings (+ and -).
-
Connect the propane tank, open the valve, and press the ignition button.
This design ensures a more reliable and stable ignition — no matches or lighters needed. Just a simple press and you're ready to cook. Be sure to install the battery before first use to ensure proper ignition.
4. Cast Iron Care Guide: Extend the Life of Your Griddle
The cast iron flat-top griddle offers excellent heat retention and distribution, but cast iron requires regular maintenance to prevent rust. Please follow these steps:
Before First Use (Seasoning):
-
Wash the griddle with warm water and a soft sponge to remove the factory protective oil.
-
Dry it completely, then heat it over low heat to ensure no moisture remains.
-
Apply a thin, even layer of vegetable oil (such as canola or soybean oil) over the entire surface.
-
Heat until the oil is absorbed, forming a protective layer.
After Each Use:
-
While still warm, clean with warm water and a soft brush (avoid harsh detergents).
-
Dry immediately and thoroughly — do not air-dry.
-
Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to create a protective barrier against rust.
⚠️ Important Notes:
-
Do not put cast iron parts in the dishwasher.
-
Avoid cooking highly acidic foods (such as tomato sauce or lemon) for extended periods, as they may damage the oil layer.
-
If rust spots appear, scrub them off with steel wool and re-season following the "Before First Use" steps.
5. Extra Features: Convenience at Your Fingertips
This grill is designed with thoughtful details to make your cooking experience smoother:
-
Two side shelves: Provide extra prep space for tools, plates, and seasonings.
-
Integrated hooks: Three hooks on each side for hanging spatulas, tongs, and other grilling accessories.
-
Condiment shelf: Located in the middle of the cart — perfect for holding oil and spice bottles within easy reach.
-
Easy mobility: Heavy-duty wheels and lockable casters let you move the grill effortlessly and lock it in place securely.
-
Large-handle lid: Easy to open and close, even with grill gloves on.
6. Easy Cleaning: Grease Tray + Ash Catcher
Cleaning up after a BBQ is often the least enjoyable part. BESTFIRE has made it easier with two practical cleaning features:
-
Left side (propane zone): Equipped with a slide-out grease tray — simply pull it out, empty it, and wipe clean.
-
Right side (charcoal zone): Equipped with a slide-out ash catcher — remove and dispose of ash easily without tilting the entire grill.
Both are full-size and slide-out design, making cleanup quick and hassle-free.
