16.: After every use, check the drip tray for fat build-up in the sand. Discard any saturated
sand and replace with fresh sand, failure to fill with sufficient clean dry loose sand may
result in a fat fire or excessive flare up. This can severely damage your barbecue and
is NOT covered by the warranty.
17:. Flare ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fats and juices fall upon the hot lava
rock. The smoke from some flare-ups gives the food its barbecues flavour, but excessive
flare up will result in meat being burned. To control flare-ups it is advisable to trim away
excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. Also the burners should always be placed
on a low setting during cooking. Finally extinguish flare-ups by applying baking soda or
salt directly onto the lava rocks. Always protect your hands when handling anything near
the cooking surface of the barbecue.
