LOCATION
Ensure that the BBQ is placed at least 150cm in all directions from house walls, trees,
plants and other flammable materials or liquids when in use.
Do not place the BBQ under a roof or overhang
Ensure the BBQ is placed where there is plenty of ventilation.
Do not BBQ below normal ground level.
LIGHTER BRIQUETTES
Place charcoal/briquettes in a pyramid.
Place 2 - 3 lighting briquettes between the charcoal and carefully light them with a
match.
Once the charcoal/briquettes are burning and the flames/smoke have subsided,
spread them over the charcoal grate. Never use your fingers, plastic implements or
flammable objects to move burning charcoal. Use grill implements.
Check that the grate is correctly positioned.
Put on more charcoal when needed.
LIGHTER FLUID
We do not recommend using lighter fluid for several reasons:
It can cause large flames and increase the chance of burns.
It collects in the bottom of the grill and can cause large flames after the grill has been
alight for a while.
Large amounts of fluid in the bottom of the grill can cause a lot of flames that can
damage the grill surface.
Fluid that leaks out of the grill can burn the exterior of the grill.
Charcoal/briquettes soaked in fluid and lit before the fluid has soaked in properly
can cause large flames and burns. excessively large flames can also damage the grill
surface.
