Lighting your charcoal barbecue
Ensure the lid is open, the air vents on the top and bottom of the barbecue are open.
Remove any ash left from the previous barbecue (this can only be done once the coals are fully extinguished
and cold).
When lighting coal directly on the grate, pile the required quantity of briquettes into a pyramid on top of 3 or 4
firelighters. Ignite the firelighters and leave the hood open.
The coals should be ready to cook over in 30-40 minutes, when all briquettes have a covering of 'grey' ash.
Arrange the lit coals with long handled tongs.
When using a firestarter chimney, put the required amount of briquettes into the top of the chimney above the
internal grate.
Stand the Firestarter on the barbecue grate over scrunched up newspaper or 1-2 firelighters, then ignite. The
briquettes will be ready for cooking in 20-25 minutes. Pour the hot coals out of the Firestarter onto the grate.
Always use BBQ Mitts when handling the Firestarter.
Aim for an even layer of coals, 3-4cm deep in the required area under the grill. Always put the charcoal or
briquettes on the grate and never directly into the bottom of the barbecue bowl. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the barbecue which is not covered by the warranty.
Charcoal must only be placed on the grate and NEVER on the grill bottom Failure to do this will damage the
grill bottom and will not be covered by the warranty.
Maintenance of your barbecue
Protection
Keep your barbecue beneath a weather cover and out of the rain when not in use. Store your clean charcoal
barbecue in a dry, well ventilated area over winter.
Cleaning
To clean barbecue for next time, take a long handled brush and brush the cooking surface to remove excess
oils and food scraps.
Be careful as surfaces may be hot. Protect your hands by using an oven mitt to hold the brush.
Allow to cool before washing in a warm soapy solution. Ensure that any dried fat/food deposits are cleaned
off the grills after EVERY cooking session. Wash the grills with hot, soapy water then rinse and dry the grills
before returning them to the barbecue.
