BARBECUE SAFETY HINTS
1. Stand your grill on a safe, level surface, away from flammable items such as wooden fences or over hanging
tree branches. NEVER USE your grill indoors.
2. DO NOT use petrol, paraffin, methyl lated spirit or lighter fuel to light your charcoal. Special lighting fluid,
pastes and fire lighters are available.
3. Once
lit
DO NOT move your grill or leave it unattended.
4. Keep children and pets a safe distance from the grill.
5. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
6. Remember that hot fat may drip out at the bottom of the fire bowl so keep your feet clear.
7. DO NOT touch metal parts of grill until it has completely cooled to avoid burns. All handle of grill will
be hot and unsafe to touch during use. Unless you are wearing protective gear (Potholders, gloves,
BBQ mittens, hot pad & etc.).
8. Ensure that the coals have completely cooked before removing the ash.
BARBECUE HELPFUL HINTS
1. To make it easier to clean your grill after use line the bottom bowl with aluminum cooking foil, shiny side up.
Remember to leave ventilation holes clear by piercing the foil where necessary. The process will lengthen the
life of your barbecue and reflect the heat more efficiently on to the food.
2. Charcoal is available in lump wood form (large irregular pieces) and as briquettes (uniformly sized pieces). As
a guide lump wood charcoal is best in grills for quickly cooked foods such as sausage and burgers while
briquettes are more suitable for a roast as they burn longer and hotter.
3. To light your grill, put a small quantity of charcoal in a pyramid shape. Insert a few fire lighters or spray with
barbecue lighting fluid or paste. Then light this area and as the fire spreads through more charcoal can be
added to the top and sides and spread over the whole cooking area. It is not advisable to completely fill the fire
bowl as the grill may be come far too hot to cook successfully. As a guide a 6.6lbs bag of charcoal in a 17”
(43cm) diameter grill should last for at least 2 full barbecue fires.
4. It takes around 15-20 minutes for this grill to reach its full cooking temperature, although this does depend on
the size of the grill and fuel use (lump wood lights quicker than briquettes). As the coals heat up they will
become covered in gray ash when viewed in daylight and glow deep red in the dark. When the coals are fully
covered then cooking temperature is reached. If the barbecue is cooking too quickly then either raise the
cooking grid or spread the coals further apart using long handled tongs. If you need to replenish the charcoal
always add to the sides and not to the center of the fire.
5. If the fire flares up due to dripping fat, dash the flames lightly with a fine water spray.
6. When you have finished cooking, never pour cold water directly on the coals to extinguish them as this may
damage your grill. Use old cinders, sand or a fine water spray.
7. To clean your grill, soak the cooking grate and tools in hot soapy water as soon as possible after use.
Dry thoroughly and store in a dry place. Do not leave your grill outside unprotected.
