Cookout BBQs and bait boards are individually handcrafted with care from high quality stainless steel. Unlike mass-produced products that are stamped and assembled by machines, every Cookout item goes through a detailed process of cutting, welding, polishing, and finishing that involves a skilled human touch at every stage.
Because of this hands-on fabrication process, slight variations and minor imperfections can occur. These may include light marks, subtle scratches, or small differences in surface finish. Such imperfections are a normal characteristic of handmade stainless steel and should be seen as part of what makes each Cookout BBQ or bait board unique.
It’s important to note that these minor marks are purely cosmetic. They do not affect the product’s strength, performance, or durability in any way. Cookout products are built for life in Australia’s toughest outdoor conditions, and their reliability and long-lasting quality remain uncompromised.
When you choose a Cookout BBQ or bait board, you are choosing a handmade product that reflects true craftsmanship. The small imperfections that may appear are a natural result of the materials and methods used, and they highlight the fact that each piece has been crafted, not mass-produced.
Electropolishing
During the electropolishing process, attachment points are used to hold the BBQ lids and hot plates.
These contact points can leave small marks along and close to the lid and hot plate edges.
Mirror Control Panel
The control panels are made from mirror-polished stainless steel, which is naturally more susceptible to fine marks and light scratches.
Every effort is made to minimise this during fabrication, but it is an unavoidable characteristic of this finish.
Surface Scratches
Stainless steel can arrive from the mill with subtle imperfections already present.
Scratching may also occur during the manufacturing process when materials come into contact with tools, fixtures, or handling equipment.
These marks can become more visible during fabrication and polishing but are a normal part of working with stainless steel.
The Beauty of Handmade Stainless Steel
Every Cookout product is crafted by hand, not mass-produced. This process ensures exceptional quality and attention to detail, but also means no two products are exactly the same. Slight variations are part of what makes your BBQ or bait board unique.
Any minor imperfection is purely cosmetic and will not affect the performance, strength, or long-lasting durability of your product.
