Problem
Food takes too long to
cook.
Useful Tips
1. Do not move the barbecue when hot.
2. Make sure that the top and bottom vents
are fully open before placing the lid on the
barbecue to commence cooking. If this is not
done, the ire will go out.
3. Before lighting your barbecue, make sure
that the vents at the bottom are not
obstructed by ash or leftover briquettes
from previous cooking.
4. Heating briquettes used for slow
combustion stoves are not suitable for
cooking in Weber® portable charcoal
barbecues. These briquettes contain quite
large quantities of toxic volatiles.
5. When lighting the ire there will initially
be fumes generated by the irelighters. Do
not stand over the barbecue inhaling these
fumes.
6. Before cooking, it is necessary to wait
until the briquettes are mostly coated with
ash. Any briquettes which are not burning
properly will reduce the temperature inside
your barbecue.
Possible Cause
Barbecue is cooking
in windy conditions
resulting in lower cooking
temperatures.
Wrong fuel being used.
Wood or poor quality
briquettes may smoke,
go out or not produce
the required cooking
temperatures.
7. Wind cools the surface of the Weber®
barbecue. On a windy day this will lengthen
the cooking time. Remember - never use
the barbecue indoors and make certain you
choose a sheltered area with adequate
ventilation.
8. Do not continually lift the lid to check the
food while cooking. This will cause
considerable heat loss and lengthen the
cooking time.
9. When you have inished cooking,
remember to close the top and bottom
vents to extinguish the ire. Any leftover fuel
may be used as part of your cooking ire the
next time your barbecue is used.
Saving fuel will save you money and is
better for the environment.

Solution

area with adequate
ventilation to use your
barbecue. Remember -

indoors.
Allow barbecue ire to
completely extinguish and
cool. Then remove this fuel
and replace it with Weber
barbecue fuel.
