About This BBQ

Maximise Your Grilling Potential

The GrillSymbol Naked Chef XXL Charcoal BBQ is designed for those who want the same rugged simplicity of the Naked Chef range—just on a much larger scale. With a spacious 115 x 62 cm grilling area, durable construction, and thoughtful design details, it’s built to handle everything from big family meals to serious outdoor feasts.

Efficient, High-Capacity Grilling

This 2024 model includes two stainless steel cooking grates that cover two-thirds of the grill area, along with a stainless steel charcoal preparation pan and charcoal tray. Adjustable air vents in the base help regulate airflow, while the built-in 15 cm high wind and splatter guard improves control and can be used as a cooler zone when needed. Whether you're grilling meat, vegetables, or using alternative grate configurations, this XXL version offers the flexibility to do it all.

Robust Materials, Built to Last

The grill body is made from 3 mm Corten steel, a premium weathering steel that develops a rich patina over time while maintaining excellent resistance to the elements. Used properly, it’s expressive, maintenance-free, and long-lasting. GrillSymbol uses Corten steel sourced from Finland, selected for its durability and outdoor performance. The legs are stainless steel and fitted with butterfly bolts and stabilising soles to ensure a sturdy setup.

Despite its impressive size, the Naked Chef XXL is easy to assemble and disassemble, and can be stored efficiently when not in use. At 70 kg, it remains manageable for its scale, and its freestanding design allows for convenient placement in larger outdoor spaces.

Please note:

• The barbecue must not be installed on wooden surfaces. The grill has small openings from which a small amount of ash or sparks may fall out.
• Corten steel products are delivered untreated and will develop their signature patina naturally. You can find seasoning instructions on the next tab or you can scan directly from the product QR code. 
• This barbecue can be stored outdoors all year round and requires no additional storage. Although a little water may seep inside the grill from the micro-crack between the lid and the grill casing during heavy rains, however, the excess water runs out of the ventilation hole at the bottom of the grill and does not damage the barbecue as Cor-Ten steel is a lasting material.

Corten Steel Seasoning Instructions 

Did you receive a GrillSymbol or Petteri Wiimaa Cor-Ten product but it doesn’t look like on the picture? Don’t worry, here we advise you how to process weathering steel to look like on the pictures.

What is Weathering Steel?

Weathering steels are Cor-Ten and S355JOWP. Both are high-strength structural steels with exceptional weather resistance. The chemical composition of the steel allows for the creation of a patina layer that covers the product without altering the mechanical characteristics of the steel. This natural rust layer not only protects steel products from the weather, but also provides a unique eye-catching finish. Due to its longevity, weathering steel is more environmentally friendly than conventional steel. Weatherproof steel products can be outside all year round.

What to do?

When brand new, Cor-Ten and S355JOWP are grey in colour like regular carbon steel. Due to weathering, it initially turns reddish-brown and becomes even darker over time. The reddish-brown patina is a natural protective layer similar to rust that prevents further corrosion and extends the life of the product. When weathering steel gets wet, it becomes thicker, unlike regular carbon steel, which is made thinner by rust.

Unpacking the product: to avoid excess moisture, the products must be unpacked immediately after receiving them, so that any moisture accumulated in the packaging can dry out and prevent uneven rusting.

Surface Seasoning: The normal rust process or a quick version.

Normal process: leave you Cor-Ten steel product outside, rain and moisture will cause a layer of patina or rust. The metal surfaces have been pre-cleaned with a solvent – this means that the surface is ready for the formation of rust. Depending on the conditions, the first rust appears after 1-3 weeks. The natural rusting process of Cor-Ten steel takes about 3-5 months, depending on weather conditions and the climate of the location. The product can be sprayed with water to speed up the process.

The quick process (NB! Only at your own risk) means spraying the salt solution onto metal surfaces. This must be repeated 5-6 times. The suspension should be dilute, about 1 teaspoon of salt per litre of water. Dissolve the salt in warm water and spray on metal surfaces. No other treatment is needed, the rain will wash away the salt over time. After being sprayed with salt water, the product must not remain in dry conditions such as indoors or under the roof, but must be rinsed repeatedly either by rain or sprinkling.

Weather-resistant steel and staining: When a layer of rust forms, the product emits rust in the first year. If you place the product on a wooden deck, stains may appear on the surface underneath the product. Some types of stone absorb stains, and rust can give stones a brown colour that can be difficult to remove. After the first year, the weatherproof steel has reached its layer of rust and should not stain anymore. The manufacturer is not responsible for the elimination of features (e.g. possible rust stains) due to the specifics of the product’s material. To minimize staining, flower pots and containers with bottoms stand on M6-M10 bolt heads with a height of 6-10 mm, depending on the model. Such a solution creates an air gap between the product and the (smooth) surface, extending the life of the product and saving the surface.

If you want to use GrillSymbol or Petteri Wiimaa products indoors or slow down the rusting process, it is recommended to use Owatrol 732SK rust oil. Owatrol darkens rusty surfaces slightly while providing a light shine.

Flowerpots and planter boxes that have soil inside all year round: for drainage, we recommend putting a layer of light gravel ⌀10-20 mm thick at the bottom of the box about 10 cm. The manufacturer does not recommend installing flower pots directly on soil or grass, because excessive moisture and direct contact with the surface can cause an uneven layer of rust.
