MEASURES BEFORE LIgHTINg THE BARBECUE
•
Place the OUTDOORCHEF charcoal kettle barbecue on level, firm ground.
•
Before lighting the charcoal, make sure that the ash tray is inserted correctly and all ventilation slots are open. The position of the ventilation
openings at the bottom can easily be seen because of an indicator on the ash tray.
The heat can easily be regulated by opening and closing the ventilation openings: opening increases the temperature and closing reduces it.
•
OUTDOORCHEF recommends: Use commercially available firelighter blocks and paper for lighting your barbecue rather than firelighting fluid.
•
To achieve a high and constant heat, OUTDOORCHEF recommends using high-quality charcoal briquettes instead of ordinary charcoal.
Store these in a dry place.

1. Before lighting remove all the interior parts (grilling rack, funnel, juice tray, charcoal grate) from the barbecue so that there will be enough air
available and to ensure optimum burning.
2. Insert the small lighting grate, put on commercially available firelighter blocks and set light to them
as petrol, spirits or comparable firelighter fluids. Never spray firelighting fluid onto hot or warm charcoal, and do not put charcoal soaked in
such fluid onto hot or warm charcoal either.
3. Now insert the charcoal grate and cover it, preferably with briquettes (refer to the start filling quantity stated in the MEASURES BEFORE
LIGHTING THE BARBECUE chapter)
4. Leave the lid open and allow the charcoal to burn for about 30–45 minutes until it is glowing evenly and covered by a white layer. Only now
start barbecuing.
