General Food Safety
Read and follow this advice when cooking on your ceramic charcoal barbecue:
Do not cook until the fuel has a coating of ash.
Before cooking, ensure grill surfaces and tools are clean and free of old food residues.
Always wash your hands before and after handling uncooked meat, and before eating.
Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked and uncooked foods. Always keep raw meat away from
cooked meat, and other foods.
Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before eating.
CAUTION: Eating raw or undercooked meat can cause food poisoning (e.g. bacteria strains such as E.coli). To
reduce the risk of undercooked meat, cut open to ensure it is cooked all the way through.
CAUTION:
If the meat has been cooked sufficiently, the meat juice should be clear and there should be no
traces of pink/red juice, or meat colouring. Pre-cooking larger pieces of meat and cuts is recommended
before finally cooking on your grill.
After cooking on your ceramic charcoal barbecue, always clean the grill cooking surfaces and utensils.
Smoking
Always follow the Cooking Temperature Guide stated in this instruction manual. Always use heat-resistant
gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces. See Cooking Temperature Guide.
Light the lump charcoal according to the lighting instructions in this manual. Do not move or stoke the coals
once lit.
Open the bottom vent fully and leave the lid open for about 10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
Monitor the ceramic charcoal barbecue until it has risen to the desired temperature.
Leave the bottom vent slightly open. Close the top vent and continue to check the temperature for a few
more minutes.
Using heat-resistant gloves, sprinkle the wood chips in a circle over the hot charcoal. Always use
heat-resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.
You are now ready to use the ceramic charcoal barbecue to smoke on.
TIP! Soak wood chips or cooking planks in water for 15 minutes to prolong the smoking process.
IMPORTANT: When opening the lid at high temperatures, it is essential to lift the lid only slightly at first,
allowing air to enter slowly and safely, preventing any back-draft or flare-ups that may cause injury.
Low Temperatures
Always follow the Cooking Temperature Guide stated in this instruction manual. Always use heat-resistant
gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces. See Cooking Temperature Guide.
Light the lump charcoal according to the lighting instructions in this manual. Do not move or stoke the coals
