Specifications

Notes

• Untreated new charcoal blocks are slightly larger than the metal base. After wrapping and heat curing (conditioning) your new block, it should fit properly in the base.
• If you do not wrap and cure your block, you may need to lightly sand the sides of a brand new block to fit, or gently stretch the metal sides of the base.
• Charcoal blocks naturally shrink with use, so fit will change over time.
• Refer to printed or online resources for guidance on how to properly prepare and condition a charcoal block for use.
