ADJUSTING THE COOKING TEMPERATURE
TO COOK AT LOW TEMPERATURES
1. Light the lump charcoal according to the lighting instructions in this manual. Do not move or stoke
the coals once lit.
2. Open the bottom vent fully and leave the lid open for about 10 minutes to build a small bed of hot
embers.
3. Monitor the BBQ until it has risen to the desired temperature. Fully close the bottom vent to
maintain the temperature.
4. You are now ready to use the BBQ for cooking.
TO COOK AT HIGH TEMPERATURES
1. Light the lump charcoal according to the lighting instructions in this manual.
2. Close the lid and fully open the top and bottom vents.
3. Close the top vent halfway and continue to check the temperature for a few more minutes.
4. You are now ready to use the barbecue for cooking.
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.
