Turbo RQT Burner Sensitivity

I just thought I would give all you BBQ heroes out there a little 'heads up' on these lovely RQT burners….

Radiant Quartz Technology (RQT) Burner with Quartz Dome ZGBRQT 3

Well, apart form the fact that they really do create that Charcoal grilling there are a few things that you also need to be aware of:

Firstly, they are VERY sensitive to jet sizing so make sure that when you ask your Gas Plumber to convert to Natural Gas he uses the CORRECT Jets to convert, make sure he checks the BBQ dataplate to check on the jet size (most dont and will stick any old jet in!).

Secondly, make sure he adjusts the 'simmer' or 'low flame' mode to make sure they dont go out on low.

Thirdly, make sure he sets the NG pressure correctly.

THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TIPS AS THESE BURNERS ARE SENSITIVE TO ALL OF THE ABOVE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE OUT OF YOUR NEW BBQ!

    Pizza Base Recipe – I get asked for recipes all the time and found that I haven’t done one for a Pizza base so I thought I would put this one on the Website. Its not hard, just follow the recipe and surprisingly, it works!!

    This pizza dough can be made by hand with 5 to 10 minutes of kneading, or the lazier way is to use a mixer with a dough hook for a few minutes (a lot faster!) It makes a pizza crust…
