USE OF THE ARTEFLAME, GRILLING TIPS
Grilling Tips:
To get a fire started, we suggest using self lighting charcoal like
Match Light Instant Charcoal from
Kingsford
. Put down a ± 35 piece pile of this charcoal and stack your wood in a wigwam over it. Then light the
charcoal. Another way of doing it is by using
Lighter Cubes fire starters
. These can be used by covering them with regular
charcoal and stacking the wood over it in a wigwam.
Lighter Cubes
and charcoal can be found at stores like
Home
Depot
. Using these methods, you should have a fire hot enough to cook on within 30 minutes.
Grilling Tips:
The best wood to use for cooking on your Arteflame are seasoned or dried hardwoods like oak, mesquite,
cherry, apple, hickory, maple, ash, pear, or plum. Seasoned wood burns better and smokes less. Soft woods like spruce,
redwood, sycamore, cedar, cypress, elm, pine, fir or eucalyptus should not be used as they can contain large amounts of
sap. Never use wood from furniture, pallets or any other materials that can contain chemicals, veneer or paint.
Grilling Tips:
When using your Arteflame for the first time, it is good practice to build a fire that burns for at least an
hour. This ensures that the cooktop reaches cooking temperature. Once it has reached cooking temperature, rub the
cooktop with oil to start the seasoning process. Each heat cycle of the cooktop absorbed more cooking oil into the cooktop
improving it and seasoning it. We recommend using food grade flaxseed or linseed oil.
