INTRODUCTION
ABOUT YOUR CERAMIC CHARCOAL BARBECUE
Ceramic charcoal barbecues are extremely versatile. Not only can they
be used for grilling or smoking, but pizzas, bread, pies and biscuits
can also be baked eortlessly inside them.
Due to their excellent heat retention properties, high temperatures
can be achieved and maintained with the precise control of the
airow via the top and bottom vents. High temperatures are ideal
for quickly cooking burgers and sausages, while low heats can cook
larger cuts over a longer period of time.
Try adding some wood chips to the charcoal, or try combining dier-
ent avoured wood chips to make your meats even more avourful.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This product is intended for outdoor use only. Do not use indoors.
Never leave a burning re unattended. Always keep children and pets
at a safe distance from the barbecue when in use.
FIRE HAZARD: May emit hot embers while in use.
DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Never light this prod-
uct or let it smoulder or cool down in a conned space.
Do not use this product in a tent, caravan, car, cellar, loft or boat. Do
not use this ceramic barbecue as a furnace.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline, white spirit, cigarette lighter uid,
alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting. Use only
relighters complying with standard EN 1860-3.
It is highly recommended that you use lump charcoal in your ceramic
barbecue. It burns longer and produces less ash, which can restrict
the airow. Do not use coal in this product.
IMPORTANT: When opening the lid at high temperatures, it is essen-
tial to lift the lid only slightly, which allows air to enter slowly and
safely, preventing any back-draft or are-ups that may cause injury.
Do not use under awnings, parasols or gazebos.
Always follow the cooking temperature guide stated in this instruc-
tion manual.
Do not use the ceramic charcoal barbecue on decking or any other
combustible surface such as dry grass, wood chips, leaf mulch or dec-
orative bark. Ensure that the ceramic charcoal barbecue is positioned
at least two metres away from ammable items.
CAUTION: This product will become very hot. Always use heat-resist-
ant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces. Allow the
barbecue to cool down completely before moving or storing it. Do
not move it during operation.
Always inspect the barbecue prior to use for fatigue and damage, and
replace if and when necessary.
OPERATION & USE
FIRST USE – CURING THE BARBECUE
Curing your ceramic charcoal barbecue is important for its long-term
operation and care. Neglecting the curing procedure could lead to
damaging the barbecue. If the rst temperatures are too hot, they
could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance to
mature with use.
To start your rst re, place one lighter cube or solid relighters and
one handful of lump charcoal on top of the charcoal plate (6). Open
the bottom vent and light the lighter cube using a long-nosed lighter
or safety matches.
Do not use gasoline, white spirit, cigarette lighter uid, alcohol or
other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Once the lump charcoal has caught re, cure the barbecue by closing
the lid and leaving both vents mostly closed. See Cooking Tempera-
ture Guide for Smoking (83–108 ºC/180–225 ºF). Burn until all the fuel
has been used and the re has gone out. This should take approxi-
mately two hours. Do not overload the barbecue with fuel.
After the rst use, inspect all fasteners. The metal band connecting
the lid to the base will expand from the heat and could become loose.
It is recommended to check and tighten the band, if necessary, with a
wrench. You can now use your ceramic charcoal barbecue as normal.
LIGHTING
When using the ceramic charcoal barbecue, push down on both of
the locking wheels to stop the barbecue from moving around during
use.
Ensure that the ceramic barbecue is positioned on a stable, at, level,
heat-resistant, non-ammable surface, away from ammable items.
Position the ceramic charcoal barbecue with a minimum of 2 m over-
head clearance and at least 2 m clearance from other surrounding
items.
1. To start a re, place rolled-up newspaper and some lighter cubes or
solid relighters on the charcoal plate (6) on the base of the ceramic
charcoal barbecue. Then, place two or three handfuls of lump char-
coal over the top of the newspaper.
2. Do not use gasoline, white spirit, cigarette lighter uid, alcohol or
other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
3. Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long-nosed
lighter or safety matches. Once it has caught re, leave the bottom
vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to build up a small bed of hot
embers.
4. Allow the charcoal to heat up and keep it red hot for at least 30
minutes prior to rst cooking on the ceramic charcoal barbecue. Do
not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
5. It is recommended not to stoke or turn the coals once they are
alight. This allows the charcoal to burn more uniformly and eciently.
6. Once the barbecue is alight, only use heat-resistant gloves when
handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.
