Features & benefits of the Bernini flame distributor set

Even heat distribution for professional results

The flame distributors provide a revolutionary improvement in the way heat is distributed across your grilling surface. Instead of direct heat that creates hot spots, heat is now evenly distributed across the entire grill. This means you no longer have cold or overheated zones, allowing each piece of food to receive exactly the right amount of heat. For perfect grill marks and even cooking, this system is essential for the serious barbecue enthusiast.

Protection against splattering fat and flames

A common problem when grilling is splattering fat that comes into contact with the burners, leading to flaring flames and burnt dishes. Boretti's flame distributors solve this elegantly by acting as a barrier between your food and the direct flames. The fat is collected and gradually evaporates, which even contributes to the typical smoky flavour without your food being tainted by blackened spots. This system also protects your burners from soiling, allowing them to last longer.

Durable material for years of grilling pleasure

Boretti is known for its quality and this is immediately apparent in these flame distributors. The robust material has been specially selected to withstand the extreme conditions in a gas barbecue, where temperatures can rise well above 300 degrees Celsius. The flame distributors retain their shape and functionality, season after season. This durability makes them a smart investment that pays for itself through years of carefree grilling without the need for constant replacement.

Perfectly matched to the Boretti Bernini

This set is not a universal solution, but specifically designed for the Boretti Bernini barbecue. This means the dimensions are exact and the flame distributors fit seamlessly into your barbecue's design. The fit guarantees optimal performance without any gaps where heat could escape uncontrolled. Boretti's attention to detail ensures that every component is perfectly matched, as you would expect from a premium brand.

Applications

Direct grilling at high temperature

With these flame distributors, you can grill confidently at high temperatures without fear of flames burning your food. Think juicy steaks with perfect grill marks, tender burgers or crispy chicken fillets. The even heat distribution ensures that your meat caramelises beautifully on the outside whilst remaining perfectly pink or cooked through on the inside, exactly as you like it. This is the technique professional chefs use, now available in your own back garden.

Indirect grilling and smoking

The flame distributors also make indirect grilling and smoking much easier. Thanks to improved temperature control, you can use the barbecue as an outdoor oven, perfect for larger cuts of meat such as spare ribs, pulled pork or a whole chicken. The flame distributors help maintain a stable, lower temperature over a longer period, which is essential for these slow-cooking techniques. The result is meat so tender it falls off the bone, with a deep, smoky flavour your guests will remember.

Grilling delicate ingredients

Fish, prawns, vegetables and even fruit are often tricky to grill because they can quickly burn or fall apart. With the flame distributors, you get the control needed to cook these delicate ingredients perfectly. The milder, more controlled heat prevents thin fish fillets from burning before they're cooked, and vegetables achieve a beautiful grilled texture without becoming blackened. This greatly expands your barbecue repertoire and allows you to serve impressive, varied meals.

Assembly & use

Installing the flame distributors in your Boretti Bernini is a straightforward process that requires no special tools. Open the lid of your barbecue and remove the cast iron grills. You'll then see the burners. Carefully place the flame distributors over the burners, making sure they sit firmly and completely cover the burners. The flame distributors are designed to fit precisely, so when placed correctly, they feel solid and stable. Then replace your cast iron grills and you're ready to start grilling.

For first use, it's wise to let the barbecue heat up thoroughly once without food, so any manufacturing residues can burn off and the flame distributors can "season in" properly. This takes about 15 minutes on high heat. You may see some smoke, which is completely normal. After this initial session, your flame distributors are ready for years of use. During grilling, you'll notice that the barbecue warms up more steadily and temperature is easier to control, which directly results in better grilling outcomes.

In terms of maintenance, the flame distributors are surprisingly easy to look after. After each use, let the barbecue run on high for a while to burn off any residue. Once per season or when you notice a lot of build-up, you can remove the flame distributors and clean them with a grill brush or scraper. For stubborn soiling, you can soak them in warm water with a degreaser. Make sure they are completely dry before replacing them. With proper care, these flame distributors will last many seasons and continue to perform optimally.

Frequently asked questions

Are these flame distributors compatible with other Boretti models?

This specific set has been developed for the Boretti Bernini and fits only this model. Each Boretti barbecue model has its own dimensions and configuration, making flame distributors model-specific. For other models, Boretti has separate sets available. It's important to always choose the correct set for your model to guarantee optimal performance and safety.

How long do these flame distributors last?

With normal use and proper maintenance, the flame distributors will easily last several seasons. Their lifespan depends on how frequently you use them and how well you maintain them. If you use the barbecue intensively, for example several times a week, you can expect them to last a few years. Regular cleaning and correct use will significantly extend their lifespan.

Do I need to remove the flame distributors to clean the barbecue?

For daily maintenance, you don't need to remove the flame distributors. It's sufficient to let the barbecue run on high temperature after each use to burn off residue. For thorough cleaning, such as at the beginning or end of the season, it is advisable to remove them so you can also properly clean the burners and the bottom of the barbecue.

Do the flame distributors affect my barbecue's heat-up time?

The flame distributors may extend the heat-up time by a few minutes because the heat must first pass through the flame distributors before reaching the grills. However, this small difference is more than compensated for by much better temperature control and consistency during grilling. Most users find that their grilling results improve significantly, making the slightly longer heat-up time absolutely worthwhile.

Can I also use these flame distributors for charcoal barbecues?

No, these flame distributors are specifically designed for use in gas barbecues, in this case the Boretti Bernini. They work by distributing the heat from the gas burners and are not suitable for use with charcoal. For charcoal barbecues, Boretti has other accessories tailored to that specific grilling method, such as special grill plates and grills that work optimally with glowing coals.
