STaRTING RoBaTa GRILL
We recommend that you use a KOPA Starter Chimney together with KOPA Fire Starters to start your
grill.
Building a fire in an open pit broiler or grill is practically the same as in a fire place. We recommend
that kindling or safe (low volatility) solid fire-starting blocks be used with small chunks of wood or
with charcoal.
It is recommended that the fire be built in the center of the fire pit.
Turn on the exhaust fan before lighting the fire, if using the unit indoors
Starting fire without using the KOPA Starter Chimney.
1. Put fire starters alongside some optional pieces of wood under the charcoal in the center
of the pit.
2. Make a pile of charcoal above the fire starters and ignite the fire starters.
3. Wait till the charcoal has ignited and, if needed, add some larger pieces of wood.
4. When the charcoal has all ignited, spread the charcoal in the pit and, if needed, add more
charcoal.
Starting fire using KOPA Starter Chimney
1. Put three to four fire starters on the bottom of the pit within a 30 x 30 cm rectangle.
2. Fill the Starter Chimney with charcoal.
3.
Ignite the fire starters and place the chimney above the fire starters.
4. Wait about 20 minutes till the charcoal has ignited.
5. Using heat protective gloves open the bottom door of the Starter Chimney and lift it
carefully.
6. Place the Starter Chimney on a fire-proof surface
7. Spread the charcoal in the pit and, if needed, add more charcoal.
Be careful not to build a fire that is too large for cooking.
TIp!
It is important to wait till the charcoal has stopped burning and the ambers have
all turned gray. This means that the charcoal is stabilized and this produces less
flares and the cooking temperature is more stable.
