2  ALL ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE

Monolith BBQ Guru Edition grill – the complete outdoor kitchen

The Monolith BBQ Guru Edition unites the advantages 

of a classic grill with those of a brick oven. Barbecue, low 

temperature cooking, baking, smoking ... Whichever 

way you prepare your dishes, the Monolith BBQ Guru 

Edition grill will always enable you to achieve perfect 

results. No matter whether you need very high temper-

atures to grill the perfect steak or smoke a large amount 

of meat for hours on low temperatures – the Monolith 

BBQ Guru Edition is your grill. The Monolith BBQ Guru 

Edition used as a brick oven is perfectly suitable for 

baking pizza or bread. The temperature range is 

between 160°F and 750°F.

Due to its unique efficiency, the grill needs very little 

energy to generate and maintain desired temperatures. 

Using 5.5 lbs. – 6.5 lbs. of charcoal, the Monolith BBQ 

Guru Edition can work in the low temperature range for 

up to 24 hours. Since very little oxygen is required, air 

movement is extremely low in the grill, preventing the 

meat from drying out. The meat remains moist.

If you just want to quickly grill 2 steaks, this is easy. Due 

to the chimney effect, the charcoal heats up extremely 

quickly. With the high temperatures you can grill the 

steaks, then close the openings afterwards to regulate 

the air. When your cook is done, simply seal the open 

and bottom vents and the charcoal embers will extin-

guish quickly. This means you can reuse left over char-

coal which increases its overall efficiency. 

Our unique system of supplying wood chips gives the 

meat that great smokey BBQ taste, without having to 

raise the lid. The wood chips are placed on a rack and are 

pushed through the opening directly into the fire area.

The Monolith BBQ Guru Edition is made of extremely 

heat-resistant ceramics and high-grade stainless steel. 

It has two side tables made of solid bamboo. The cart is 

made of high grade materials and easily supports the 

weight of the ceramic while giving you the freedom to 

move your Monolith BBQ Guru Edition around 

smoothly and safely.

Due to the efficient insulation of the grill and the 

advanced regulation of the air supply, you can control 

the temperature in the Monolith BBQ Guru Edition 

unlike any other type of grill. The consumption of char-

coal is generally 25 – 50% less compared to other grills 

on the market.

The target temperatures are reached very quickly 

through the chimney effect and Guru Control, so you 

can cook within 15 minutes of lighting, with far less fuel 

burned during the preheating phase.

The outside temperature of the Monolith BBQ Guru 

Edition is much lower than a steel grill – minimizing 

the risk of burn injuries.

Due to the extremely temperature resistant ceramics 

and the use of high-quality stainless steel, the Monolith 

BBQ Guru Edition is very low-maintenance and can be 

used even in winter.
