The Hand-Wheel: The Heart of Heat on the Ox Grill

Unlike standard barbecues, the Ox Grill isn’t about high flames and guesswork; it’s about precision, patience, and control. And at the centre of it all sits one humble, essential piece of engineering: the hand-wheel.

The real difference between an Ox Grill and the rest lies in its adjustable grill surface.
This simple yet brilliant feature gives the cook the ability to fine-tune the distance between fire and food, unlocking a new dimension of temperature control and flavour.

By turning the hand-wheel clockwise, the grill bed rises — gently lifting your food away from the heat to slow the cook and develop depth. Turn it anticlockwise, and the grill bed lowers, bringing your ingredients closer to the flames for that perfect sear, that edge of smoke and caramelisation that only true fire can give.
