COALS - Use only Magicoals supplied by MagiKitch'n. Do not use lava rock or other
replacement coals. They do not perform as well or last as long as the Magicoals that were
designed for this application. Place the coals evenly across the surface of the coal support. Do
not pile them up. This will cause excessive flare up, reduce ventilation, and cause overheating
of the valves and other components.
PREHEATING - It is necessary to preheat a co
ld broiler each time before cooking. The
recommended time is 15-20 minutes for coal style charbroilers, at which time the cooking grid
should be hot enough to cook on without sticking, and will produce the proper searing effect.

FLARE-UP - A certain amount of flare-up is desirable when you are charbroiling in order to
flavor your products. However, excess flare- up will burn your products and leave a bitter taste.
With flare-up, one simple formula holds true.
The hotter the broiler and the higher the fat
content of the food, the more flare-up you will have. Conversely , the lower the heat and lower
the fat content, the less flare-up you will have.
