Barbecues are for outdoor use only never use your barbecue indoors.
If you are using your barbecue for the first time take some time out to read the bbq manual.
If you are curing your new cast iron bbq plates and grills don’t saturate with cooking oil this can catch alight, you only need a small amount to cover the cooking surface. Use a low to medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes with the hood up.
Always keep your drip tray clean, don’t let excess oil build up as this can result in a fat fire.
Beware of using kitty litter in the drip tray, most kitty litters are flammable you can probably guess what happens next. Always use a barbecue approved product.
When choosing a position for your barbecue ensure the area is well ventilated with adequate clearance around the barbecue and also enough clearance above the barbecue.
