Temperature control on the 4K
Adjustable vents:
In addition to the amount of charcoal used, the 4K is also controlled by manually adjusting 2 x vents:
AIR OUT
AIR IN
Lower Vent:
•
allows oxygen to enter the 4K charcoal chamber
•
This oxygen flows freely around the charcoal, allowing
unrestricted combustion
• Higher position opening = more air =
Upper Vent:
•
harnesses the heat and assists air circulation within the 4K
•
Once you've reached your desired temperature, avoid
making unnecessary adjustments to the vent position.

We recommend positioning the 4K in an open area and out of direct sunlight
•
Environmental conditions heavily influence the cooking performance. The vent positions are
recommendations only - may vary depending on the ambient temperature, wind conditions and fuel type
•
Never use the 4K indoors
