Stainless steel barbecue hoods

Sturdy and durable, the Christie barbecue hood complements the functionality and performance of the company’s public barbecue cooktops. Constant torque hinges hold the hood open at every position above 45°, allowing seated users of all abilities to open and close the lid during the cooking process.

Providing ample clearance to cook with the hood down, this features traps radiant heat to reduce power consumption, allowing food to cook faster and enhancing the flavour of the cooked food.

The stainless steel outer surface is easy to clean, while the inner aluminium panel reflects heat back to the food on the grill plate during the cooking process. Trapping radiant heat improves the overall cooking experience and keeps the outer surface of the hood from reaching harmful temperatures – in fact, users can safely touch the hood during any stage of the barbecue cooking cycle.

■ Tough, durable glassreinforced nylon handle that remains cool to the touch at all times ■ Heat-reflective inner aluminium panel that improves cooking efficiency ■ Stainless steel, aluminium, and nylon construction for dura bility and corrosion resistance ■ Prevents water from entering the grease trap when the barbecue is not in use
