The pizza oven can be positioned as shown below. If there is sufficient cooking area on the
barbeque, then other foods can be cooked on that area.
The pizza stone
The stone will enable you to create perfect, traditional crisp pizza bases and you will be able
to complement them with a variety of toppings of your choice. The stone should live in the
oven and will darken to black over time. After use (when cool), scrub in warm soapy water
to remove burnt food residue. Then dry thoroughly and place in the oven.
Before first use
•
Before lighting your barbecue make sure that your barbeque is in good working
order and has all the correct parts.
•
Remove and clean the cooking grill and pizza stone surface thoroughly before
commencing and place them in their location for cooking.
Lighting the barbeque
It is recommended that you use an electric barbecue lighter or special matches which
specifically designed for this purpose.
Note:
During lighting it is recommended that you wear heavy duty gardening gloves to avoid
injury and your hands becoming dirty before handling any food.
Lighter fluid:
Place the charcoal in a pyramid shaped pile on the charcoal grill and pour
some of the fluid onto the charcoal, then add more charcoal on the top and at the side.
Allow the fluid to soak into the charcoal for at least 5 minutes before lighting.
Electric barbecue lighter or long matches
: light the charcoal and let it burn for around 20 to
30 minutes until the flames dies down and the charcoal has a silver grey and is glowing. This
is important to avoid cooked foods being tainted by lighter fluid Place the charcoal in a
pyramid shaped pile on the charcoal grill on top of the recommended number of briquettes
or barbecue lighters. Light them using an electric barbecue lighter or long matches, then
carefully add more charcoal on the top and at the sides using tongs. Allow the charcoal to
burn for around 20 to 30 minutes until the flames dies down and the charcoal has a silver
grey and is glowing. This is important to avoid cooked foods being tainted by the aroma of
the lighters.
