Fire Starting Instructions
FOR TIMBER USE
NOTE: The Outback Cooker is designed for outdoor use only. Check local fire regulations in your
area prior to lighting a fire.
NOTE: Do not overfill the fire chamber with timber or heat beads as this can cause excessive
smoking. If the cooker has been overloaded and begins to smoke, open the front door to allow
more oxygen until the timber or heat beads have burnt down.
IMPORTANT: Never leave a fire unattended. Always ensure you have a bucket of water on hand should you
need to extinguish the fire.
1. Always ensure that the Outback Cooker is set up correctly and in a level position before starting a fire.
If required, remove any ash from the chamber body.
2. Place scrunched up newspaper into the chamber body, on top of the fire chamber ash grates.
Firelighters may be used if required.
3. Place kindling at an angle over the newspaper and light. As the kindling burns, place larger pieces of
firewood on the fire.
4. Once the fire is established, close the front door and adjust the air vent controls to control the fires
combustion rate.
5. Open door to add fire wood as required.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Chimney Sections and spark arrester
The chimney sections are made from a stainless steel material and will tarnish over time with use.
Remove the chimney sections and spark arrester regularly and clean with a sti brush.
Chamber Body and legs
Remove ash build up regularly from the chamber body and under the fire ash grates.
FOR HEAT BEAD USE
1. Always ensure that the Outback Cooker is set up correctly and in a level position before starting a fire.
If required, remove any ash from the chamber body.
2. Place a firelighter into the chamber body, on top of the fire chamber ash grates. Light the firelighter
and surround with half a dozen heat beads.
3. As the heat beads burn, place larger quantities of heat beads on the fire.
4. Once the fire is established, close the front door and adjust the air vent controls to control the fires
combustion rate.
5. Open door to add heat beads as required.

WARNINGS
MATERIALS
Flat and grill plates
The cast iron cooking plates come to you from the factory with a wax coating. This will need to be
removed by either: soaking and scrubbing with detergent, or by heating each plate until the coating is
burnt o. The heating alternative will cause the wax to smoke.
High density cast iron cook plates always perform best at lower temperatures and with extended
cooking times. Be careful, if the cast iron temperature becomes too high food will begin to stick to the
surface.
It is recommended that you season your plates after each use. This can be achieved by adding a coating
of vegetable oil to all surfaces and returning the plate to the heat of the cooker or an oven until the
plate begins to smoke. Remove plate from the heat and remove excess oil with paper towel or a clean
cloth. Repeat this process 2 or 3 times until the paper towel or cloth is clean.
Plates should be kept in a dry place to avoid rust.
