CONE is the worldwide first charcoal grill where you can adjust the heat directly. It thus translates the comfort of a gas grill to a charcoal grill – with real embers, real fire and a real atmosphere. The immediate, direct and intuitive heat regulation is made possible by the principle of combining the distance of the heat source to the grillables with the air supply. In case high heat is required, the coal grid and thus the heat source can be simply lifted. To reduce heat, just lower the coal grid and thereby the air supply will automatically decrease.
