To bring a charcoal grill to the desired temperature, the correct amount of dry charcoal / briquettes must be used. Open the lower supply air regulator completely and get the charcoal glowing with the help of a kindling chimney. When the top layer of charcoal in the kindling chimney is covered with a layer of ash, it can be poured into the grill. Set up the ember bed according to the desired cooking method and place the grill grate on top. Now wait at least 3 minutes until the embers have cooled down from the orange glowing to the red glowing state and only then close the lid. After approx. 10 minutes, you can read the current internal cooking chamber temperature on the thermometer. Now you can regulate the temperature accordingly with the supply air slider at the bottom of the grill. (Control range approx. 30 - 50°C).
Please note, with the amount of coal you determine the basic temperature in the grill. With 2.5 kg of glowing briquettes you cannot regulate the grill down to 100°C, for this you must use correspondingly less grill charcoal.
Do not open the lid to check the temperature, use the lid thermometer for this purpose. Each time you open the lid, you will have to extend the cooking time by 5 minutes for indirect grilling.
The RÖSLE Roast or Core Temperature Gauge can be used to determine the core temperature.
