Lid T4. Flat cover for the grill head, 3 x 63 x 43 cm.
The T4 lid is a flat stainless steel cover for the Thüros T4, which protects the grill from rain and dirt and smothers residual embers. Not a hood, not a cooking attachment, not an accessory for indirect grilling.
The T4 lid measures 3 x 63 x 43 cm and fits exclusively the large T4. A large grill stands outdoors half the year. Without a cover, the charcoal tray collects rain, leaves, and everything the wind brings. The lid seals off the grill head as soon as it is not in use.
What the lid does
The lid lies flat on the grill head and seals it from above. It keeps rain, leaves, and dust out of the charcoal tray.
The second benefit is often overlooked: when placed on top, it smothers the residual embers after grilling. Without oxygen, the charcoal goes out instead of smoldering for hours. This saves charcoal for the next evening and makes the grill ready for transport faster.
No cooking under this lid
The lid lies flat; it does not dome. This means there is no space for heat to circulate.
It is not suitable for indirect grilling, baking, or smoking – for that, there is the barbecue hood with its domed shape and thermometer. The lid is a cover, not a cooking tool. Those who confuse the two will be disappointed.
Stainless steel V2A, flat to store
Made from non-magnetic V2A stainless steel, the same material as the grill. It does not rust, even if it lies in the rain for months.
With a height of two to three centimeters, it can be stored flat against a wall or slid under the grill. For the winter break, this is the practical difference to a hood, which takes up space.
For grills that stay outside
The lid is worthwhile for anyone whose grill doesn't go into the basement after every use. Those who put it away anyway hardly need it.
One limitation: The lid protects from above, not from the side. In case of driving rain or snow, a complete protective cover is the better choice. For everyday use between two barbecue evenings, it is sufficient.
A grill that is covered is simply lit the next time.
