Expert Review
If your chargrill is cooking unevenly or you've lost that classic smoky taste, your lava rocks are likely the culprit. Over time, they get clogged with grease, which affects heat and flavour. Swapping them out with this CH017 kit is a brilliant, straightforward job that makes a massive difference, restoring performance in minutes.
Installation & Maintenance
- Ensure unit is off and completely cool before replacement.
- Carefully remove and dispose of all old lava rocks.
- Distribute the new rocks evenly across the grill base.
- Perform a short 'burn-off' before cooking to season rocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I change my lava rocks?
A: For typical commercial use, we recommend every 6-12 months, or when they become heavily soiled with grease and food debris.
Q: Can I just wash the old rocks?
A: It is not recommended. Replacement is the best way to ensure optimal hygiene, heat distribution, and flavour.
Q: Will this fit my non-Buffalo brand chargrill?
A: This kit is an official Buffalo spare part, designed specifically for models DC331-N and CF382-N to ensure a perfect fit.
