Place your charcoal briquettes in your chimney and ignite. The amount of charcoal you put in your chimney will depend on the size of your cook.
When the charcoal in your chimney has turned a light grey colour, add it to the charcoal rack. Charcoal briquettes will give you an even cooking temperature due to their uniform size.
Open the top vent once lit. While cooking you can open or close the intake vents to adjust the internal temperature.
Depending on what you are cooking you can adjust the height of your charcoal rack. For a fast sear, bring the charcoal rack up closer to the food, or lower it for a more gentle cook for seafood or chicken. After 5-10 minutes, the grilling racks will be up to temperature, and your food will sear and not stick instantly.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
