Cooking With The Rösle Kettle Grill; Preparing The Grill - Rösle Belly F50 Mode D'emploi

3. Cooking with the RÖSLE kettle grill

3.1 Preparing the grill

• Open all air vents and the lid before lighting the fire.
• Note: If necessary remove accumulated ash from the bottom part of the grill (only when the charcoal is fully
extinguished). Charcoal requires oxygen in order to burn. Check that the air vents are clear of dirt.
• Place the grill lighter cubes under a layer of charcoal and light them. (Only use lighters that conform to
DIN EN 1860-3)
• Do not start cooking the food until the charcoal is covered in a thin layer of ash. –This process takes about
30 - 45 minutes. Then, using a long poker or charcoal trowel, arrange the charcoal according to your desi-
red cooking method.
Tip: For a stronger smoke aroma you can add smoker chips or fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme or bay
leaves to the fire. Use a smoker box for the purpose and place the items in it. That will prevent them from
setting on fire and thus not producing any smoke.
3.2 Direct barbecueing method
With the direct method, the food is cooked directly over the prepared charcoal. Food that requires less than
25 minutes to cook is cooked by the direct method. To make sure the food is evenly cooked all the way
through, it should be turned once after half the cooking time. Foods such as steaks, chops, kebabs and ve-
getables can be cooked in this way.
• Open all dampers
• Place the barbecue lighter cubes in the charcoal grate
and light them
• Place the recommended amount of charcoal or barbecue
briquettes on the centre of the grate or in the RÖSLE bar-
becue starter (optional accessory)
• Leave the lid open until the charcoal has a light covering
of ash – this takes about 30 - 45 minutes.
• Distribute the hot charcoal evenly on the middle of the
charcoal grate using grill tongs or a charcoal trowel
• Position the cooking grate over the charcoal. To do so,
wear barbecue gloves.
• Wait about 5 minutes until the cooking grate has heated
up and then place the food on it.
• Close the lid (air vents in lid and fire bowl should be open). In the barbecueing instructions in this manual
you will find a list of recommended cooking times.
For this cooking method, the lid can be left open if necessary.
