Fire problems
1) If you have trouble lighting the barbecue, ensure that both the top and bottom vents are open.
The fire needs oxygen to ignite. Once it has caught fire, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about
10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
2) The barbecue may quickly lose fire if there is not enough charcoal in the ceramic body.
The recommended use of lump charcoal is a maximum of 4 lbs per burn. Be sure not to overload the unit with
fuel. If the fire is too intense, the excessive heat could damage the ceramic charcoal barbecue.
3) To prevent any back-draft or flare-ups that may cause injury, it is well advised to lift the lid only slightly
(also known as burping), which allows air to enter slowly and safely.
Note:
Curing your ceramic charcoal barbecue is important for its longterm operation and care. If the first burns
are too hot, they could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance to mature with use.
If the lid gets stuck, or sealed, together with the base, use a knife to carefully unseal and cut off the felt gasket
that trims the lid opening. Once removed, you will be able to open the lid.
Before continuing to use the unit, replace the high-heat felt gasket, which can be purchased at theBBQshop.de.
Temperature problems
1) My barbecue gets too hot:
Close the lid, mostly close both vents, and allow the barbecue to smother with lack of oxygen.
For low temperature cooking, use less fuel.
2) My barbecue doesn’t get hot enough:
Add more fuel and leave both vents completely open. More oxygen flow will allow the fire to increase, burning
more lump charcoal.
