Before first use - Curing the cast iron
During manufacturing, the cooking surfaces (plates and grills) were coated with a non-
toxic paint. This paint will come off completely over time. Its purpose is to help protect
your BBQ during transport and storage. Coat the top of the hotplates and grills with
canola oil or something similar. Light the BBQ as described earlier. Leave the BBQ with
all burners on low for about 30 minutes. Paint may come off at this time.
Now clean the surfaces with water and a brush.
Be careful of steam coming off the cast iron surface while doing this. The hotplates and
grills are now cured and ready for use. This process only needs to be done the first time
you use the BBQ.
For on-going protection of the cooking surfaces, follow the procedures in the
‘Maintenance’ section of this manual.
Controlling flare up
Flare-ups are sudden bursts of flame that come up over the top of the grill. They are
caused by natural cooking juices from your food falling onto the flame tamer and then
burning.
A little bit of flare-up, as well as the resulting smoke, is a good thing.
It’s what gives BBQd
food that unique outdoor flavour. But if it happens too often, or if the flame last more than
a couple of seconds, your food will char, so you need to control it.
First of all, cooking very fatty foods will cause a lot of flare up. You should trim excess fat
off your meat. Also, excess flaring usually means your controls are up too high. Try
turning them down.
Finally, moving the meat away from flaring will help reduce the problem. Some really fatty
foods can only be cooked on the hotplate.
Turning off
When
you’ve finished cooking, leave the burner controls on high for a maximum of 5
minutes to burn off excess grease from the flame tamer, the burner and other surfaces.
To turn the BBQ off, it is best to turn the cylinder off first, and allow the gas left in the
hose to burn off. This will only take a couple of seconds. Then turn off all burner controls.
If your BBQ is connected to piped LPG, you can simply turn the burner controls off.
It’s
okay to leave the cylinder connected to your BBQ while
it’s not in use.
Note:
Failure to follow these shutdown procedures correctly can lead to a hazardous
condition.
