Lighting your charcoal barbecue
Ensure the lid is open, the air vents on the top and bottom of the barbecue
are open.
Remove any ash left from the previous barbecue (this can only be done once the
coals are fully extinguished and cold).
When lighting coal directly on the grate, pile the required quantity of
briquettes into a pyramid on top of 3 or 4 firelighters. Ignite the
firelighters and leave the hood open.
The coals should be ready to cook over in 30-40 minutes, when all briquettes
have a covering of ‘grey’ ash. Arrange the lit coals with long handled tongs.
When using a firestarter chimney, put the required amount of briquettes into
the top of the chimney above the internal grate.
Stand the Firestarter on the barbecue grate over scrunched up newspaper or 1-2
firelighters, then ignite. The briquettes will be ready for cooking in 20-25
minutes. Pour the hot coals out of the Firestarter onto the grate. Always use
BBQ Mitts when handling the Firestarter.
Aim for an even layer of coals, 3-4cm deep in the required area under the
grill. Always put the charcoal or briquettes on the grate and never directly
into the bottom of the barbecue bowl. Failure to do so may cause damage to the
barbecue which is not covered by the warranty.
Charcoal must only be placed on the grate and NEVER on the grill bottom
Failure to do this will damage the grill bottom and will not be covered by the
warranty.
Maintenance of your barbecue
Protection
Keep your barbecue beneath a weather cover and out of the rain when not in
use. Store your clean charcoal barbecue in a dry, well ventilated area over
winter.
Cleaning
To clean barbecue for next time, take a long handled brush and brush the
cooking surface to remove excess oils and food scraps.
Be careful as surfaces may be hot. Protect your hands by using an oven mitt to
hold the brush.
Allow to cool before washing in a warm soapy solution. Ensure that any dried
fat/food deposits are cleaned off the grills after EVERY cooking session. Wash
the grills with hot, soapy water then rinse and dry the grills before
returning them to the barbecue.
