Fire Starting Instructions
FOR TIMBER USE
NOTE: The Outback Cooker is designed for outdoor use only. Check local fire regulations in your
area prior to lighting a fire.
NOTE: Do not overfill the fire chamber with timber or heat beads as this can cause excessive
smoking. If the cooker has been overloaded and begins to smoke, open the front door to allow
more oxygen until the timber or heat beads have burnt down.
IMPORTANT: Never leave a fire unattended. Always ensure you have a bucket of water on hand should you
need to extinguish the fire.
1. Always ensure that the Outback Cooker is set up correctly and in a level position before starting a fire.
If required, remove any ash from the chamber body.
2. Place scrunched up newspaper into the chamber body, on top of the fire chamber ash grates.
Firelighters may be used if required.
3. Place kindling at an angle over the newspaper and light. As the kindling burns, place larger pieces of
firewood on the fire.
4. Once the fire is established, close the front door and adjust the air vent controls to control the fires
combustion rate.
5. Open door to add fire wood as required.
