No matter which method you use, never add the chips before the
charcoal or wood is covered with a thin layer of white ashes.
Barbecook provides three types of flavoured wood chips:
Flavour
Apple
Oak
Hickory
7.2 Keeping your food moist
To keep your food moist, put some liquid (water, broth, wine...) in the
broth pan when you start smoking. Check the pan regularly during
smoking and add some extra liquid to the pan when necessary.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Open the door in the bottom ring of the body.
2.
Carefully pour the liquid in the broth pan, using a funnel or a pot
with a spout.
3.
Close the door in the bottom ring of the body.
7.3 Lifting the lid
Once you started smoking, avoid lifting the lid as much as possible. A
considerable amount of heat and smoke escapes each time you lift the
lid, which extends the cooking time of your food.
If you have to lift the lid anyway, always lift it to the side instead
of straight up. Lifting the lid straight up creates an air flow in the
appliance, which can suck ashes onto your food.
7.4 Using the appliance as a grill
If you do not shield the food from the charcoal or wood with the broth
pan, you can use the appliance as a regular grill. Proceed as follows:
1.
Light the appliance as described under "6 Smoking food".
2.
Put the cooking grill on the support brackets of the bottom ring
of the body. Make sure the rim of the grill rests firmly on the
brackets.
3.
Put your food on the grill.

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE
8.1 Removing the ashes
We recommend removing the ashes after each use. With the ash
container, this is done in no time. Proceed as follows:
1.
Let the appliance cool down completely.
2.
Remove the lid, the upper ring of the body, the cooking grills and
the broth pan.
3.
Remove the charcoal grid and brush the ashes into the ash
container.
4.
Lift the ash container from the charcoal bowl and pour the ashes
into a bucket.
8.2 Cleaning the basket, grills and grid
We recommend cleaning the smoking basket, the cooking grills and
the charcoal grid after each use, with the Barbecook cleaner. Proceed
as follows:
1.
Spray the foam on the part to be cleaned and let it act for a while.
The foam discolours, as it soaks off the dirt and greases.
2.
Remove the foam with a soft sponge and water.
3.
Rinse the part thoroughly and dry it well before storing. This

prevents formation of rust.
You can also clean the basket, the grills and the grid with a soft
detergent or with sodium bicarbonate. Never use over cleaners
on these parts.
To prevent formation of rust, oil the cooking grills and the
smoking basket lightly with vegetable oil before you store
them. Never oil the charcoal grid.
8.3 Cleaning the broth pan and body
We recommend cleaning the broth pan and the body of the appliance
(interior and exterior) after each use:
•
Use water with a soft detergent and a soft sponge or cloth to clean
the parts.
•
Rinse the parts thoroughly and dry them well before storing.
To prevent formation of rust, oil the broth pan and the exterior
of the body with vegetable oil before you store the appliance.
Never oil the interior of the body.
8.4 Cleaning the lid
The lid can become a bit greasy during smoking. To prevent the grease
from building up, we recommend cleaning the inside of the lid after
each use. Proceed as follows:
1.
Wait until the lid has cooled down a little. It should still be warm,
but not too hot to handle.
2.
Wipe the inside of the lid with paper towels or clean it with water
and a soft detergent.
If grease has built up in the lid anyway, brush off the flakes with
a brass brush or crumpled aluminium foil.
8.5 Storing the appliance
Store the appliance in a dry place (indoors, under a shelter...) after each
use.
Make sure the appliance is completely dry before you store it.
This prevents formation of rust.
