Special Tips

Lighting the Fire

Fill the fire box with high quality, coarser charcoal. We recommend FLAMY charcoal.
Heat up the charcoal from the top. Avoid using any chemical or liquid fire-starters. We recommend Smoky Fun fire­starter. Close the lid and open all the air supplies to regulate air input. Thanks to the chimney effect, the grill will heat up very quickly.
You can regulate the temperature thanks to the air supply openings. For the grilling itself, use the accessories corresponding to each grilling method.
