OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Charcoal barbecues are extremely versatile. High temperatures are ideal for quickly
cooking burgers and sausages, try adding some wood chips to the charcoal, or try
combining different flavour wood chips to make your meats even more flavourful.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Before using your smoker for the first time with food, it is important to complete a
burn-off. Starting the smoker and operating at 177°C / 350°F with the grill lid on for 30
to 40 minutes will burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.
PREHEATING
It is important to allow your grill to preheat before adding food to the unit. This allows
the grill and cooking grids to heat up quicker, kill off bacteria and other pathogens
leftover from past cooking sessions, and the grill is then able to maintain its temperature
once your food is placed.
Preheat with the grill lid on.
IMPORTANT: The outside ambient temperature, weather conditions, and quality of
charcoal briquettes will all affect your cooking temperature. Observe the time it
takes to reach your desired temperature, and adjust your cooking time as needed.
START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Ensure the
Fan Control Knob
is turned off.
2. Remove the grill lid, cooking grid, and charcoal box lid.
3. Place charcoal briquettes into the charcoal box, on top
of the airflow plate. This creates space between the
fan and the fuel for airflow. Add some lighter cubes,
or solid firelighters, to assist with lighting the charcoal
briquettes.
4. Light the lighter cubes using a long-nosed lighter or
safety matches. Once it has caught, leave the charcoal
box lid off for about 10 minutes to allow all charcoal
briquettes to light. Turn the
Fan Control Knob
on to
maximum.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not stoke or
turn the charcoal once they are alight. This allows the
charcoals to burn more uniformly and efficiently.
5. After 10 minutes, replace the charcoal box lid on the
charcoal box, then replace the cooking grid, and finally
the grill lid. Monitor the temperature on the grill lid
and allow the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to
