Adding fuel during
cooking
Additional charcoal may be required to maintain or
increase cooking temperature.
Step 1 - To access the charcoal grate you will firstly
need to safely lift up your cooking grate using the
grate lifter supplied. We strongly recommend
wearing BBQ Gloves and DO NOT touch the grate
by hand. Put the cooking grate onto a non-
combustible surface whilst re-fueling.
Step 2 - Stand back at a safe distance and use
longcharcoal tongs to add charcoal to charcoal grate,
being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks. If
necessary, use your Charcoal ChimneyStarter to
light additional charcoal and add to existing fire.
Warning: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot
or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
Step 3 - Once the charcoal has been added, carefully
use your grate lifter toreplace the cooking grate
wearing BBQ gloves. Check the surrounding area for
any hot coals, ash, or embers which may have fallen
from the BBQ. Be sure to safely extinguish these
before continuing to cook.
After-use safety
WARNING:
• Always allow BBQ and all components to cool
completely before handling.
• Never leave hot coals and ashes in BBQ
unattended. Make sure coals and ashes are
completely extinguished before removing.
• Before the BBQ can be stored away, remaining
coals and ashes must be removed from BBQ.
Use caution to protect yourself and property.
Place remaining coals and ashes in a non-
combustible metal container and completely
saturate with water. Allow coals and water to
remain in metal container for 24 hours prior to
disposing.
• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a
safe distance from all structures and combustible
materials.
• With a garden hose, completely wet surface
beneath and around the BBQ to extinguish any
ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen
during the cooking or cleaning process.
• Return your BBQ to its storage bag and place it in
a protected area away from children.
Proper care &
maintenance
• Cure your BBQ periodically throughout the year
to protect against excessive rust.
• To protect your BBQ from excessive rust, the
unit must be properly cured and covered at all
times when not in use.
• Wash cooking grate and charcoal grate with hot,
soapy water, rinse well and dry.
• Clean inside and outside of BBQ by wiping off
with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable
oil or spray to the interior surface to prevent
rusting. Do not coat charcoal or cooking grates.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your
BBQ, clean and buff the affected area with steel
wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a
good quality high-temperature resistant paint to
maintain the appearance.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust
spots on the interior surface can be buffed,
cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable
oil or vegetable oil spray to minimise rusting.
• Do not use an abrasive scourer or brush to clean
your cooking grate. This could damage and strip
the chrome plated surface.
