5LIGHTING UP
Always light up with both doors and both vents open in order to allow maximum air
and prevent the machine from overheating and causing damage.
Use good quality charcoal. We recommend Trailblazer South African Premium
Charcoal. This will give your food the best flavour possible. Most briquette charcoal
and automatic light charcoal use binders which give off a harsh smoke.
If using the entire surface, start with 12kg of charcoal (4kg per
each bay)
Make several small piles and use lighter fluid to light the piles. Once the charcoal
starts to turn white, spread the charcoal piles out in an even layer.The charcoal is at
its hottest and ready to cook on when it has a thin layer of white ash covering the
pieces of charcoal.
When the charcoal is fully lit evenly distribute throughout the firebox.
If cooking for a prolonged period, the fire will need restocking over time. You
may wish to have a separate container to start additional charcoal. You will
need an additional 4 - 5 kg. of charcoal for each hour of cooking time. Add your
supplemental charcoal after it has been burning for at least 10 minutes.
Adding unlit charcoal during the cooking process will give your food a harsh taste.
It is useful to keep a spray bottle of water handy whilst cooking. It can be helpful in
reducing flare ups.
