LIGHTING YOUR BARBECUE
HOW TO FIRE - UP YOUR OUTDOOR BARBECUE USING HARDWOOD
Lighting options for hardwood or softwood logs.
Option 1: Use
ALL
natural fire starters generally used in kitchen and home.
1. Lay out the ash plate in the fire bowl.
2. Stack kindling on the ash plate first.
3. Cut softwood to length and stack on top of kindling. Softwood is optional, because
it lights quickly and burns hot, it will allow for a prolonged ignition which will help
the hardwood to light.
4. Chop hardwood into thin slices and stack on top of softwood.
5. Remove ash tray and load the igniter onto ash tray spaced evenly, light with a lighter.
6. Leave the fire chamber open to allow oxygen to fuel the fire. Monitor the fire until
the hardwood is fully lit.
7. Once fully lit, ensure all precautionary measures are in place.
Option 2: Use a propane torch or butane lighter.
Option 3:
USE
paraffin starter blockers or cudes that
DO NOT
contain any chemicals.
Option 4: Use twigs, paper and corrugate to get your fire going.
NEVER USE
any fuel accelerants, liquid lighting fluid to start a fire, or inside of the fire
bowl.
NEVER USE
any packaging materials to start a fire, including, but not limited to;
polystrene, plastics or wood that has resin content.
NEVER USE
hearth logs meant for a fireplace.
ENSURE
proper safety is taken care.
Overfilling your fire chamber with wood can cause overheating and make managing
temperatures difficult.
NOTICE:
Please follow and adhere to barbecue and fireplace rules and regulations
established by the local community or government.
