Charcoal Pizza Oven
Assembly instructions
Care and Maintenance
Charcoal is available in lump wood form (large irregular pieces)
and as briquettes (uniformly sized pieces). This Charcoal BBQ works
best with briquettes.
It is not advisable to completely fill the firebowl as the BBQ may
become far too hot to cook successfully. As a guide a 3kg bag
of charcoal briquettes should last for at least 2 full BBQ fires.
Recommend charcoal max 1.5 kg to be used for each firebowl,
evenly distributed on the charcoal grate.
If the fire flares up due to dripping fat then douse the flames
lightly with a fine water spray.
When you have finished using the Charcoal BBQ, never pour cold
water directly on the coals to extinguish them as this may damage
your Charcoal BBQ. Use old cinder, sand or a fine water spray.
Empty the bottom bowl of ashes when they are completely cold.
To clean your Charcoal BBQ, soak the cooking grill and tools in hot
soapy water as soon as possible after use. Dry thoroughly and store
in a dry place.
Do not leave your Charcoal BBQ outside unprotected.
Food safety
• Thoroughly defrost frozen meat and poultry in the
refrigerator before cooking. Keep raw meat and poultry
separate from cooked food.
• Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned before cooking
and lighting the barbecue.
• Always wash hands after handling raw meat and poultry
before handling any ready to eat food.
• Wipe and disinfect surfaces that have been in contact with
raw meat and poultry.
• When barbecuing meat and poultry, make sure the
barbecue is really hot. Place the larger, thicker portions
furthest away from the most intense heat to ensure
thorough cooking without burning and turn regularly.
• Use separate utensils for handling raw meat or poultry and
cooked food on the barbecue, or wash them thoroughly
between use.
• To check whether meat, particularly poultry, is cooked,
pierce the flesh with a skewer or fork: the juices should run
clear. Ensure the product is piping hot throughout.
Attention!
This BBQ will become very hot do not move it
during operation. Do NOT use indoors.
“Warning! Keep children and pets away!”
“Caution! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting
or re-lighting! Use only firelighters complying
to EN 1860-3”

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Cleaning and Storing
CLEANING THE OVEN
The oven’s grill can be cleaned periodically. Do not use abrasive or
corrosive products as these could scratch the steel.
CLEANING THE FIREBOX
It is necessary to empty the ash from the firebox on a regular basis.
When the oven and firebox are cool, use a dustpan and brush to
gently remove the ash.
CARE OF THE PIZZA STONE
• The role of the pizza stone is to distribute the heat evenly
across the pizza base and to extract moisture so that your
pizza base is nice and crispy.
• Always wait until the stone is cool before cleaning it.
• The pizza stone is porous so never wash it with any type of
soap, detergent or oils. Use a damp cloth to remove any
remaining food. If you have some stubborn food pieces that
remain stuck to the stone, gently remove with a wooden or
plastic spatula. Do not use a steel spatula or harsh scrubbing
agents as this may damage the pizza stone.
• Do not soak your pizza stone in water as it is absorbent and
may retain small pockets of water on the inside even if appears
dry. This water will expand when heated and may cause the
stone to crack.
• Always have your pizza stone in the oven when you light the
fire and let it gradually heat up. Exposing a cold pizza stone to
a hot oven could cause your pizza stone to crack. Never pour
cold water or any other liquid on a hot stone. Do not put
frozen pizzas onto a hot stone as the difference in
temperatures will cause the pizza stone to crack.
• Dark stains on a heavily used pizza stone is considered
'seasoning' and is desirable.
STORING THE PIZZA OVEN
Once the Charcoal Pizza Oven has cooled, it is advisable to
store the oven in a sheltered position where the unit will remain
completely dry.
