LIGHTING THE BBQ
Method 1 – Charcoal and Lighting Fluid/Gel
• Set up your BBQ in a safe place. Place enough charcoal in the charcoal grate to reach a depth of 3-5cm.
• Ta ing care not to spill any fluid or gel on your hands or clothes, apply it carefully over the charcoal.
• If using fluid, wait 30-45 seconds for the fluid to soa into the charcoal.
• Do not light the charcoal if you have spilt fluid or gel onto your clothes. Light the charcoal with a long taper or
BBQ lighter. The charcoal will burn with flames for a period.
• When the flames die down, chec that the charcoal is starting to glow red. If the coals have gone out, open all
vents and allow the charcoal to go out completely before trying to apply more lighting fluid.
• CAUTION: Apply lighter fluid/gel carefully in small amounts. Over-application can be dangerous.
• DO NOT squirt liquid onto burning charcoal.
• After lighting, the fire should be ready for coo ing in 30-40 minutes, or when an even layer of grey ash is
visible by day, or an even red glow is visible by night.
Method 2 – Firelighter blocks
• Place 3 or 4 firelighter bloc s in the center of the charcoal grate and light with a match or lighter.
• Place pieces of charcoal around each firelighter. Add more charcoal as required, in a pyramid formation.
• When burning is established, spread the fuel out evenly. After lighting, the fire should be ready for coo ing in
30-40 minutes, or when an even layer of grey ash is visible by day, or an even red glow is visible by night.
PREPARING FOR COO ING
• Ma e sure the coo ing grill is fully located into the grille support so that the crossbar supports loc behind the
retaining edges.
• When the charcoal is alight, the smo e and flames have died down and the charcoal has an even layer of grey
ash, ra e the charcoal into an even layer on the grate.
• Small quantities of fresh charcoal can be added on top of the burning charcoal layer prior to coo ing to extend
coo ing time.
• To help prevent food stic ing, apply a thin coating of coo ing oil to the grill prior to coo ing.
• To adjust the airflow using the air vents, use a heat resistant glove.
• ALWAYS WEAR OVEN GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE CHARCOAL BBQ.
