Introduction and safety instructions

About your ceramic charcoal barbecue, Ceramic charcoal barbecues are extremely versatile. Not only can they be used for grilling or smoking, but also pizzas, bread, pies, and cookies can be baked effortlessly inside them.
Due to their excellent heat retention properties, high temperatures can be achieved and maintained by precise control of airflow via the top and bottom vents. High temperatures are ideal for quickly cooking burgers and sausages, while low heat can cook larger cuts over a longer period of time. Try adding some wood chips to the charcoal, or t, combining different flavor wood chips to make your meats even more flavourful.
Important safeguards
This product is intended for outdoor use only. Do not use indoors.
Never leave a burning fire unattended. Always keep children and pets at a safe distance from the oven when in use.
FIRE HAZARD: May emit hot embers while in use.
DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: never light this product, let it smolder or cool down in confined spaces. Do not use this product in a tent, caravan, car, cellar, loft or boat. Do not use this ceramic unit as a furnace.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol, or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting. Use only firelighters complying to EN1860-3. It is highly recommended that you use lump charcoal in your ceramic barbecue. It burns for longer and produces less ash, which can restrict the airflow. Do not use coal in this product.
IMPORTANT: 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. Do not use under any awnings, parasols or gazebos. Always follow the cooking temperature guide stated in this instruction manual. Do not use the ceramic charcoal barbecue on decking or any other combustible surfaces such as dry grass, wood chips, leaf mulch, or decorative bark. Ensure that the ceramic charcoal barbecue is positioned at least two meters away from flammable items.
CAUTION: This product will become very hot. Always use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces. Allow the unit to cool down completely before moving or storing. Do not move it during operation. Always inspect the unit prior to use for fatigue and damage, and replace as and when necessary.

The ceramic charcoal barbecue is now ready to use. Please ensure that unit curing instructions are read thoroughly prior to use.

Operating instructions

First use – during the unit
Curing your ceramic charcoal barbecue is important for its long-term operation and care. Avoiding the curing procedure could lead to damage on the unit. If the first burns are too hot, they could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance to mature with use.
To start your first fire, place one lighter cube or solid firelighters and one handful of lump charcoal on top of the charcoal plate (7). Open the bottom vent and light the lighter cube using a long-nosed lighter or safety matches.
Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Once the lump charcoal has caught, cure the unit by closing the lid, and leaving both vents mostly closed. See the cooking temperature guide for smoking (83ºc – 108ºc / 180ºf – 225ºf). Burn until all the fuel is used and the fire is extinguished. This should take approximately two hours. Do not overload the unit with fuel.
After first use, inspect all fasteners. The metal band connecting your lid to the base will expand from the heat and could become loose. It is recommended you 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 unit from moving around during use.
Ensure the ceramic barbecue is positioned on a permanent, flat, level, heat- resistant non-flammable surface, away from flammable items.
Position the ceramic charcoal barbecue with a minimum of 2m overhead clearance and at least 2m clearance from other surrounding items.

1. To start a fire, place rolled-up newspaper and some lighter cubes or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate (7), in the base of the ceramic charcoal barbecue.
   Then, place two or three handfuls of lump charcoal over the top of the newspaper.

2. Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, 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 match. Once it has caught, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to build 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 the first cooking on the ceramic charcoal barbecue. Do not cook before the
   fuel has a coating of ash.

5. It is recommended that you do not stoke or turn the coals once they are alight. This allows the charcoals to burn more uniformly and efficiently.

6. Once alight, only use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces. Read through this manual for a complete detailed guide on cooking temperatures for grilling.

General food safety

Read and follow this advice when cooking on your ceramic charcoal barbecue:

• Do not cook until the fuel has a coating of ash.
• Before cooking, ensure grill surfaces and tools are clean and free of old food residues.
• Always wash your hands before and after handling uncooked meat, and before eating.
• Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked and uncooked foods. Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat, and other foods.
• Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before eating.

CAUTION: Eating raw or undercooked meat can cause food poisoning (e.g. bacteria strains such as E.coli). To reduce the risk of undercooked meat, cut it open to ensure it is cooked all the way through.
CAUTION: If the meat has been cooked sufficiently, the meat juice should be clear and there should be no traces of pink/red juice, or meat coloring. Pre-cook- ing larger pieces of meat and cuts is recommended before finally cooking on your grill. After cooking on your ceramic charcoal barbecue, always clean the grill cooking surfaces and utensils.
Smoking
Always follow the Cooking Temperature Guide stated in this instruction manual. Always use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces. See Cooking Temperature Guide.

1. Light the lump charcoal according to the lighting instructions in this manual. Do not move or stoke the coals once lit.

TIP! Soak wood chips or cooking planks in water for 15 minutes to prolong the smoking process.
IMPORTANT: When opening the lid at high temperatures, it is essential to lift the lid only slightly at first, allowing air to enter slowly and safely, preventing any back-draft or flare-ups that may cause injury.
Low temperatures
Always follow the Cooking Temperature Guide stated in this instruction manual. Always use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces. See Cooking Temperature Guide.

1.  Light the lump charcoal according to the lighting instructions in this manual. Do not move or stoke the coals once lit.

Refueling
With the top and bottom vent closed, the ceramic charcoal barbecue will stay at a high temperature for several hours. 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. Open the lid, add additional charcoal, and continue to cook as directed in this manual.
Extinguishing
To extinguish the unit: stop adding fuel and close all the vents and the lid to allow the fire to die naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the ceramic charcoal barbecue.
