NOTE: Use an approved supplier in your area, to obtain properly seasoned hardwood with a moisture content of less
than 20% moisture.
There are a variety of hardwoods that can be used to fuel your grill. Each type will have different characteristics. For example,
Apple, Cherry and Oak give off good heat with very few sparks and have excellent charcoaling effect.
NOTE: We do not recommend using softwoods such as pine due to:-
 Poor heating characteristics of softwoods.
 High concentration of smoke, creosote and other pollutants discharged into the room.
 High risk of sparking.
Remove the grates to keep them out of the intense start up fire heat, and create an open working space.
If using Lump Charcoal;-
a. Stack a suitable quantity of charcoal at the rear of the firebox.
b. Place a fire lighter(s) under the charcoal.
c. Light the fire lighter.
d. Allow the charcoal to ignite and create bed of live coals.
e. Use the ash rake to spread these live coals over a wider area and add more charcoal to establish a live coal bed.
f. Once the live coal bed is fully established, use the ash rake spread the coals in the firebox to create a hot area (deeper)
at the rear of the firebox and a cooler (shallower) area at the front.
g. Replace the grates and the grill is now ready for use.
If using Wood;-
a. Stack a number of small pieces of wood in a conical “tepee” shape at the rear of the firebox.
b. Place a fire lighter under the centre of the woodpile.
c. Light the fire lighter.
d. As the wood starts burning, add more wood to the front of the fire, take care not to smother the flame.
e. Allow the wood to ignite and create bed of live coals.
f. Use the ash rake to spread these live coals over a wider area and add more wood to establish a live coal bed.
g. Once the live coal bed is fully established, use the ash rake spread the coals in the firebox to create a hot area (deeper)
at the rear of the firebox and a cooler (shallower) area at the front.
h. Replace the grates and the grill is now ready for use.
To maintain cooking temperatures:
Lump Charcoal - place several pieces of charcoal on either side of the centre flame (rear of the firebox) area every 15 to 30
minutes, to maintain the live charcoal bed depth and cooking temperature. NOTE it will take some minutes for the charcoal
to ignite and contribute to the live coal bed.
Wood - place several pieces of wood on either side of the centre flame (rear of the firebox) area every 20 to 30 minutes, to maintain
the live charcoal bed depth and cooking temperature. NOTE it will take some minutes for the wood to ignite and contribute
to the live charcoal bed.
NOTE: Do Not pull wood with open flame forward as cooking over an open flame will taint the food, burn the fat
and make the food taste bitter.
ENSURE THAT THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS SWITCHED ‘ON’ PRIOR TO LIGHTING THE FIREBOX.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
It is import to develop a consistent and simple fuel, fire and temperature management plan for cooking on your solid
fuel grill.
This plan should be based on the most appropriate temperatures for your menu.
We have outlined the basic steps below to begin operating you solid fuel grill.
Note this is a guide only.

1. At the end of cooking operations / end of day, to cool down the cooking area, use the ash rake to spread any live coals over
the full area of the firebox to help cool down / extinguish the live coal bed.
2. Allow the live coals to cool down naturally. DO NOT APPLY WATER TO THE FIREBOX TO COOL DOWN THE HOT COALS.
1. Ash, cinders or embers should be removed once a day at the end of daily use. Dispose of ash in accordance with local fire
codes.
2. Ash should be placed in a covered metal container not exceeding 90 litres in capacity and used only for ash and ember disposal
and placed in a safe area outside the building.
3. The Ash and embers should be doused with water to ensure that any live coals are extinguished.

9
Clean the grill regularly. A clean grill looks better, will last longer and will perform better. Carbonised grease on the grill will hinder
the transfer of heat from the cooking surface to the food. This will result in loss of cooking efficiency.
DO NOT use water on the grill while this item is still hot as warping and cracking may occur. Allow the grill to cool
down before cleaning.
NOTE:
 DO NOT use abrasive or caustic detergents or strong solvents as they could corrode or damage the grill.
 To prevent rust forming on the grill, ensure that any detergent or cleaning material has been completely
removed after each cleaning.
To keep your grill clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown below:-
Firebox:
NOTE: Do not pour water into the firebox.
1. Remove any excess ash from the firebox, move remaining ass and any unburnt coals to the rear centre of the firebox. This will
assist when re-lighting the grill and establishing a good heat base.
2. Brush down any excess ash from the sides of the firebox.
Grill Grates:
1. Remove the grates and scrub down with a wire brush to remove any build up of cooking deposits.
2. Wash down the grates with hot water, a detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
Cabinet:
1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the grill, with hot water, a detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
2. Any stubborn carbon deposits should be removed using a non metallic scraper tool or scouring pad, scrub in the direction of
the grain to avoid scratches. Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth to prevent accumulation of food deposits.
3. Dry cooking area thoroughly with a dry cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
