USE
Never grill your food in the flames.
Make sure that the fire starters are completely burned out before you start cooking your food.
Before you start cooking,
make sure a layer of ash covers the fuel.
SMOKING
For this method, use aromatic wood. Tree species such as apple or cherry are particularly suitable. You can
also use sawdust from certain shrubs like juniper.
1.
Light the wood or charcoal placed on the grate. Add pieces of wood or charcoal little by little. During
this time, leave the vents open.
2.
Place the food to be grilled immediately on the grill, and close the vents and the chimney damper to
reduce the air flow, thus maintaining a very low cooking temperature. Close the lid. Once smoking
has started, the temperature should be maintained at around 70°C. With the thermometer on the
lid, you can monitor the temperature closely. The more food you put in, the lower the temperature
will be. The cooking time will vary depending on how full the smoker is.
•
Temperature too high: Put the lid on the appliance. Close the air supply holes in the lid and in the ash
container. If the temperature remains too high, put some soaked wood chips on the fire. This also
enhances the flavor of your food.
You can also add hot water to the water container.
•
Temperature too low: Fan the fire by opening the air supply holes in the lid and the ash container.
Useful tips and tricks:
1.
You can add flavored wood chips (apple, Oak, hickory) to the fire to infuse your food with extra flavor.
To prevent burns, use a metal clip for this purpose.
2.
To keep your food moist, put some liquid (water, broth, wine…) in the broth pan when you start
smoking. Check the pan regularly during smoking and add some extra liquid carefully.
3.
Once you started smoking, avoid lifting the lid as much as possible. A considerable amount of heat
and smoke escapes each time you lift the lid, which extends the cooking time of your food and can
cause some injuries!
4.
You can use the appliance as a regular grill. Proceed as follows:
•
Light the appliance as described as above in section “LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE”
•
Put the cooking grill on the support brackets of the bottom right of the body. Make sure the
rim of the grill rests firmly on the brackets.
•
Put your food on the grill.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
After each cooking, wait for the fuel to burn out and the barbecue to cool down completely.
Empty the pan and/or ash pan and clean your barbecue and utensils after each use to avoid a highly
flammable and toxic grease deposit.
Do not use sharp objects or abrasive cleaners for the cooking grate or the pan. It is preferable to use a
strong degreaser.
Do not leave standing water in the pan, as this can cause rust and rapid deterioration of the materials.
