Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate
or install the product. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free
operation of your new portable charcoal grill. We also advise you retain this manual for
future reference.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
1. A minimum clearance of 25.4cm (10 inches) from combustible constructions to the
sides of the grill, and 25.4cm (10 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible
constructions must be maintained. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an
enclosed, unventilated area. This appliance must not be placed under overhead
combustible ceiling, awnings, parasols, gazebos or overhang. Keep your grill in
an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Do
not throw water on. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class
(class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If
an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
2. This outdoor grill is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats.
Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper,
tent, car, boat or home. This appliance is not intended for and should
never be used as a heater or a furnace.
3. This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.
4. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance. Keep
the portholes clean and free from debris. Clean before use. Inspect the unit prior
to use for fatigue and damage, and replace when necessary. Regular care and
maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.
5. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.

ENGLISH
6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young
children and pets away while in use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant
gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the grill will become
very hot. Open the lid carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and
steam trapped inside. When opening the lid at high temperatures it is essential to
lift the lid only slightly, which allows air to enter slowly and safely, preventing any
back-draft or flare-ups that may cause injury. May emit hot embers while in use.
Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other
similar chemicals for lighting or relighting. Use only firelighters
complying to 1860-3. Keep all such substances and liquids well
away from appliance when in use.
7. It is highly recommended that you use charcoal briquettes in your grill. Do not use
coal in this product. Charcoal not included. Failure to follow this warning could lead
to fire, bodily harm, and will void your warranty.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)
Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid
breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel.
Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels
can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss
of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas
from poisoning you, your family, or others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or
in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be
mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the
elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia,
or heart disease.

Charcoal barbecues are extremely versatile. High temperatures are ideal for quickly cooking
burgers and sausages, try adding some wood chips to the charcoal, or try combining different
flavor wood chips to make your meats even more flavorful.

Before using your smoker for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off.
Starting the smoker and operating at 177°C / 350°F with the grill lid on for 30 to 40 minutes will
burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.

It is important to allow your grill to preheat before adding food to the unit. This allows the grill
and cooking grids to heat up quicker, kill off bacteria and other pathogens leftover from past
cooking sessions, and the grill is then able to maintain its temperature once your food is placed.
Preheat with the grill lid on.
: The outside ambient temperature, weather conditions, and quality of
charcoal briquettes will all affect your cooking temperature. Observe the time it takes
to reach your desired temperature, and adjust your cooking time as needed.

1. Ensure the Fan Control Knob is turned off.
2. Remove the grill lid, cooking grid, and charcoal box lid.
3. Place charcoal briquettes into the charcoal box, on top
of the airflow plate. This creates space between the fan
and the fuel for airflow. Add some lighter cubes, or solid
firelighters, to assist with lighting the charcoal briquettes.
4. Light the lighter cubes using a long-nosed lighter or safety
matches. Once it has caught, leave the charcoal box lid off
for about 10 minutes to allow all charcoal briquettes to
light. Turn the Fan Control Knob on to maximum.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not stoke or turn the
charcoal once they are alight. This allows the charcoals to
burn more uniformly and efficiently.
5. After 10 minutes, replace the charcoal box lid on the
charcoal box, then replace the cooking grid, and finally the
grill lid. Monitor the temperature on the grill lid and allow
the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Check the Ventilation Knob on the back of the grill lid,
and leave the airflow vents fully open.

6. After preheating is complete, you are ready to enjoy your
grill at your desired temperature! Adjust the Fan Control
Knob and Ventilation Knob to promote more or less
airflow through the grill chamber.

If you require a longer cooking time (e.g. when roasting a whole cut or slow-smoking), it may
be necessary to add more charcoal.
1. Open the lid carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam
trapped inside. Using heat-resistant gloves or cooking mitts, remove the grill lid, the
cooking grid and charcoal box lid.
IMPORTANT: The grill will become very hot, and serious injury may occur. Do not
touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking
mitts at all times.
2. Carefully, using long-handled tongs, add new charcoal briquettes to the charcoal box.
Adjust the Fan Control Knob to maximum to promote more airflow through
the grill chamber to light the new charcoal briquettes.
3. Once new charcoal briquettes have lit, replace charcoal box lid, cooking grid, and
continue use.

1. Turn the Fan Control Knob all the way off.
2. Stop adding fuel. Adjust the Ventilation Knob on the back of the grill lid to close
airflow vents and allow the fire to die naturally.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the
charcoal grill.
