3. Instruccions de funcionament
Charcoal Preparation
Place charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal into the stainless steel charcoal system. Use a charcoal chimney starter for best results. Once the charcoal is fully lit and covered with a light gray ash, carefully transfer it to the charcoal system within the barbecue.
Easy Flip Funnel System
The Easy Flip funnel is a core feature of your Outdoorchef barbecue, allowing you to switch between direct and indirect grilling methods with ease.
- Grill directe: For high-heat searing and grilling smaller items, position the Easy Flip funnel with the opening directly above the charcoal. This concentrates heat to a specific area of the cooking grate.
- Grill indirecte: For roasting larger cuts of meat, baking, or slow cooking, rotate the Easy Flip funnel so that the opening is away from the charcoal. This creates a convection effect, distributing heat evenly around the food without direct exposure to the flames.


Control de temperatura
The integrated thermometer on the lid provides an indication of the internal temperature. Adjust airflow using the vents on the barbecue bowl and lid to control the heat. Opening the vents increases airflow and temperature, while closing them reduces airflow and temperature.

4. Manteniment i cura
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Outdoorchef barbecue and ensure optimal performance.
- Després de cada ús:
- Deixeu que la barbacoa es refredi completament.
- Remove the cooking grate and clean it with a grill brush. For stubborn residue, wash with warm soapy water.
- Empty the grease collection bowl and dispose of ash from the charcoal system.
- Wipe down the interior and exterior of the barbecue bowl and lid with a damp tela.
- Neteja periòdica:
- For deeper cleaning, components like the Easy Flip funnel and charcoal system can be removed and washed.
- Inspect all nuts and bolts periodically and tighten if necessary.
- Store the barbecue in a dry, covered area when not in use, especially during off-season, to protect it from the elements.
