Perfect BBQ with RÖSLE charcoal grills
As soon as the hyacinths peek out of the ground, the first spring feelings are already stirring. For us grill fans, this of course means: quickly remove the cover, unpack the grill brush and get the charcoal grill ready to grill.
To ensure that everything goes well from the first to the last grilling event of the year, a charcoal kettle grill or smoker from RÖSLE is the perfect choice. Here you can find out what special features our charcoal grills have, what the difference is between a kettle grill and a smoker and how you can easily make the transition from grill apprentice to grill master with a little basic knowledge and high-quality accessories from RÖSLE.
The special thing about charcoal kettle grills and smokers
A kettle grill consists of a fire bowl into which the charcoal is poured and a domed lid. Directly above the fire bowl is the grill grate on which quick-fried food can be grilled directly. If you put the lid on, a cooking space is created in which you can grill and cook indirectly. There is a container underneath the fire bowl to collect the ash. There is also a device in the lid and/or in the lower part of the kettle grill that can be used to regulate the air supply.
The entire construction is mounted on a base frame, which ideally has wheels at the bottom so that the grill can be easily transported.
If you just want to give your guests a few sausages from the grill, this simple construction is sufficient. But that alone would be a bit meager for a barbecue party, which is why you should pay attention to other features and the right accessories when choosing your kettle grill.
Especially for indirectly grilling types of meat and fish that need to cook through after grilling, you need a precisely controllable air supply on the grill and a thermometer that measures the internal temperature.
This is because the temperature in the grill depends on the amount of coal added and the oxygen supply. If you want to set up different temperature zones, a chimney starter and charcoal baskets are reliable accessories. The chimney starter is filled with charcoal and then placed over the lit lighters. As soon as the charcoal is just glowing, it is distributed into the charcoal baskets (please only use grill gloves!), which are then placed in the desired position.
In a smoker, meat and fish are not grilled, but smoked using natural wood chips and a water reservoir. Smokers from RÖSLE are designed as 2-in-1 devices, as they consist of a kettle grill onto which one or two smoker rings and the lid can be mounted without tools. This means you can always choose between smoker and grill function.
Charcoal grills from RÖSLE: that little extra in terms of experience and quality
Charcoal kettle grills and smokers from RÖSLE are intended for people for whom frequent grilling and social barbecuing are an indispensable part of their quality of life.
The construction and design of the black kettle grills and smokers made of porcelain-enameled steel, which are mounted on a sturdy aluminum tubular frame, indicate the high quality and well thought-out concept. Smooth-running wheels ensure that the kettle grill and smoker are easy to transport. And for the winter, you will find the right cover for every charcoal grill in our online shop.
The extra-large grill surfaces with diameters of 50 or 60 cm offer plenty of space for your grilled food and practically invite you to celebrate a BBQ event with your family or guests - depending on the model and size, up to 16 people (smoker with two grill racks) can be fed with a single grill.
It is particularly practical that the lids are attached to a hinge, so that no storage space is required for them. There is also a thermometer in the lid so that you can control the temperature in the cooking chamber at all times. This can be easily and precisely regulated using an air supply system with a lever or rotary switch.
The grill grates for a RÖSLE kettle grill are made of high-quality and durable stainless steel. Some grates can be folded in the middle/sides, making it easier to add more coal and the grate fits in the dishwasher. The smoker has two grates, each with a diameter of 50 cm - plenty of space to spoil even the hungriest guests with seared steaks, juicy burger patties or various finger foods.
It remains to be mentioned that RÖSLE kettle grills are partially delivered pre-assembled, so that you can invite people to a barbecue party immediately after unpacking. And because our charcoal grills also have a comfortable working height of 80 to 84 cm and are easy to maintain, both trainees and grill masters will soon not want to be without them.

Every charcoal kettle grill from RÖSLE is a small masterpiece in its own right, and all of our experience, our passion for grilling and the high demands of our customers have gone into its production.

Grilling is more varied and even more convenient with our charcoal grills from the SPORT range. Here you can choose between two grill sizes, and the grill grates can also be used as reversible grates. A reversible grate can be positioned directly over the fire bowl from one side and at a slight distance from the other. This is an advantage if, for example, particularly thinly sliced meat or tender fish fillets are placed on top that should get a delicious crust without coming too close to the charcoal. Charcoal grills from the SPORT range also have a stable shelf in the foot area on which the necessary accessories can be safely stored.
The top products in our range include all models in the AIR series and in particular our anniversary model NO.1 AIR F60 NERO with VARIO+ grill system, which ensures a lot of variety when grilling thanks to its excellent combinability with a Dutch oven, pizza stone and wok.
Special highlights of the AIR charcoal grills are also:
- a stainless steel grate that can be folded up to the side, which makes it easier to refill coal or briquettes. If the grate is to be cleaned in the dishwasher, it can simply be folded up in the middle.
- a practical outer railing around the grill bowl, on which accessories such as grill tongs, grill spatulas and the like can be hung up within easy reach.
- a robust lid handle that you can lift safely even without grill gloves thanks to its clever positioning.
an extra high lid, which means there is even more space in the cooking chamber for the use of accessories such as rib holders and chicken roasters.
the clever AIR control system with just one rotary switch for two functions: The switch allows you to precisely control the air supply and thus the temperature, and the ash container can be easily removed after cooling down.
Kettle grills from the AIR range are already supplied with two charcoal baskets. If you opt for the combination device, our smoker, 2 grill racks, a smoker holder and six smoker hooks are included in the delivery.

My smoker has too high temperatures
If a charcoal grill brings too high temperatures, the following steps must be followed.
2) Check the amount of coal, please keep the maximum load.
3) Don't let the inserted coal glow completely, but only a part of it (about 500g of coal). The minion ring method is also suitable for this purpose. For more information, refer to your grill manual.
4) First set the vent at the bottom of the grill to MIN. If this is not enough, close the top vent to 1/3. Never close the top vent completely as this could cause the coals to run out or "fall asleep".
5) At temperatures below 120°C, water should be added to the water tank. In this way, a foreign medium is also heated and the heat distribution reacts more homogeneously.
How do I clean my grill grate after grilling?
There are several ways to clean the grill grate.
My grill does not come up to temperature?
To bring a charcoal grill to the desired temperature, the correct amount of dry charcoal / briquettes must be used. Open the lower supply air regulator completely and get the charcoal glowing with the help of a kindling chimney. When the top layer of charcoal in the kindling chimney is covered with a layer of ash, it can be poured into the grill. Set up the ember bed according to the desired cooking method and place the grill grate on top. Now wait at least 3 minutes until the embers have cooled down from the orange glowing to the red glowing state and only then close the lid. After approx. 10 minutes, you can read the current internal cooking chamber temperature on the thermometer. Now you can regulate the temperature accordingly with the supply air slider at the bottom of the grill. (Control range approx. 30 - 50°C).
Is it possible to add coal to a kettle grill?
Charcoal should never be refilled during the grilling process and when the grill grate is occupied. Refilling the charcoal causes the temperature to drop sharply during grilling and the grilling process is interrupted. In addition, there is a risk of coal dust settling on the grilled food and negatively affecting the taste.
How do I extinguish the embers in my grill?
If the embers are no longer needed, they can be extinguished prematurely. To do this, completely close the supply and exhaust air at the top and bottom. Keep the lid closed. Depending on the amount of charcoal, this can take up to 30 minutes until the charcoal is extinguished. Please note that individual parts of the grill may still be hot afterwards. The cover may only be pulled over the cooled grill after 12 hours.

Do you have to burn in grill grates?
No! RÖSLE only uses enameled cast iron grates and there, baking is not necessary. Only raw steel or cast iron grates that do not have a coating are burned in. However, the grill should be operated at full power for approx. 30 minutes before first use in order to burn off any residues from the manufacturing process. Please also observe the instructions in the operating manual.
What is burn out? How does it work?
To burn out the grill grate, brush it with a cleaning brush while it is hot after grilling to remove the coarse remains of the grilling process. Now let the grill cool down completely and then cover it with a hood. The next time you grill, bring the coals to a glow again and put the grill grate back on immediately after adding the embers. After about 10 minutes, the residue on the grill grate will burn off and can then simply be brushed off with the grill cleaning brush. Finally, rub the hot grill grate with a paper kitchen towel soaked in some sunflower oil and with the help of the grill tongs to remove the burnt remains. Now the grill grate is lightly oiled and ready for the next grilled food.
Which cleaning brush should I use for which grate?
RÖSLE offers various materials for grill grates:
Chrome-plated grill grates > with brass brushes
Enameled cast iron grates > with brass brushes
