Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Charcoal: Place charcoal or briquettes on the fire grate inside the fire bowl. Do not overfill.
2. Light Charcoal: Use appropriate charcoal starters to ignite the charcoal. Never use flammable liquids like gasoline. Allow charcoal to ash over completely before cooking.
3. Adjust Airflow: The barbecue features an adjustable air vent in the lower section. Open the vent to increase airflow and heat, or close it to reduce airflow and lower the temperature.

4. Adjust Grill Height: Use the wooden handles to adjust the cooking grate to your desired height. Higher positions provide less direct heat, while lower positions offer more intense heat for searing.
5. Grilling: Place food on the cooking grate. Monitor cooking progress and adjust heat and grate height as needed.
6. Cool Down: After cooking, close the air vent to extinguish the charcoal. Allow the barbecue to cool down completely before cleaning or moving.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your cast iron barbecue.

• Cleaning: After each use, once the barbecue has cooled, remove ashes. Clean the cooking grate with a grill brush. For the cast iron parts, avoid using water and detergents. Instead, wipe with a cloth and apply a thin layer of temperature-resistant oil to prevent rust.
• Seasoning: Cast iron benefits from seasoning. Periodically, after cleaning, apply a thin layer of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil) to all cast iron surfaces and heat the barbecue to a moderate temperature for about an hour. This creates a protective, non-stick layer.
• Storage: Store the barbecue in a dry, covered area when not in use to protect it from weather elements and prevent rust.
