Hello, no indeed there is no "smooth" black plate. The "ridged" black plate can be turned over to use the smooth side. And no, don't rely too much on the classic stainless steel grid, the heat distribution is much better with the black plate.

According to the manufacturer, the products are almost the same, the CV can simply be operated with the CV gas cartridges. The CV also heats up faster.

The Party Grill 400 CV is designed to use Campingaz's compact CV300+ and CV470+ gas cartridges, which are high-pressure systems. Connecting it to a larger gas bottle would require a different setup, as the burner is designed for high-pressure gas directly from the canister. Typically, larger gas bottles require a regulator to reduce the pressure, which is not compatible with the high-pressure burner in this model. If you want to use a larger gas bottle, you would need a different type of grill or stove that is compatible with low-pressure systems and includes a regulator.

It can also be left on as a lid. I would only leave the clamps open as they get too hot.

This barbecue can only be used with blue gas cartridges.

hi, campinggaz cv470 fits. You can screw it on directly without an additional valve.

It should be on the packaging. We have not exchanged yet.

Yes Exactly CV 400👍

With this model only with cartridge. For operation with a hose it has another model

Yes cv470 or the 300

I used the CV470s from camping Gaz

Campingaz CV470 plus with valve to remove for transport.

Gas cartridge can be removed at any time

Hello exactly it works with these two types of campingaz bottle...

Yes.😀

Hello, Yes, everything is as shown in the photos. Excellent product, complete, easy to maintain and super convenient. Very good size for grilling and transport. I am very satisfied with it.

I always unscrew the cartridge after use and also use it for other cookers and gas lamps. For transport, the cartridge is unscrewed anyway. The tightness is not a problem. Greetings and have fun grilling and cooking!

The diameter of the grill is 28 cm, which is more than enough for 6-8 merguez and 2 rumpsteaks Super product, very practical and space-saving

Yes, you can unscrew the legs. Mass and weight, "GOOGLE

I have the CV 470 Plus cartridge on the grill. Pressure, no idea

The CV cartridge can simply be unscrewed after use and the barbecue can be stored safely. The next time you use it, simply "screw" it back on. This is not possible with the cheaper one. In addition, it will probably not even fit on the grill...
