Temperature control on the 4K
Lower Vent:
• allows oxygen to enter the 4K charcoal chamber
• This oxygen ows freely around the charcoal, allowing
unrestricted combustion
• Higher position opening = more air = more heat
Upper Vent:
• harnesses the heat and assists air circulation within the 4K
• Once you’ve reached your desired temperature, avoid
making unnecessary adjustments to the vent position.
Adjustable vents:
In addition to the amount of charcoal used, the 4K is also controlled by manually adjusting 2 x vents:
• We recommend positioning the 4K in an open area and out of direct sunlight
• Environmental conditions heavily inuence the cooking performance. The vent positions are
recommendations only - may vary depending on the ambient temperature, wind conditions and fuel type
• Never use the 4K indoors
Recommendations for Airow Controls:
Upper vent | Controls heat & assists air circulation
Lower vent | Allows oxygen to enter the charcoal chamber
