Follow all the instructions for your barbecue.
Failure to so may result in serious bodily injury
or death, or in a fire or explosion causing
damage to property.
Do not use underneath overhead or low
combustible material such as trees, buildings
or awnings.
Only use your barbecue outdoors, in a well
ventilated area. If used indoors, toxic fumes
and gases could accumulate and cause
serious bodily injury or death.
You should take reasonable care when using
your barbecue. It will be hot and should not be
left unattended. Children and pets should not
be left unattended near a barbecue.
Do not attempt to move your barbecue whilst
hot. Wait for it to cool before moving it.
Barbecues should not be used on or close to
combustible materials such as, but not limited
to, wood, decks, fences or porches.
Do not wear loose flowing clothes whilst using
your barbecue. If clothing should catch on your
barbecue, or ignite, it may result in serious
bodily injury or death, or lead to a fire or
explosion causing damage to property.
You should use your barbecue on a secure,
level non-combustible surface at all times.
Never touch any part of your barbecue to
determine if it is hot.
Use appropriate protection such as barbecue
mitts when working on your barbecue.
Do not use sharp objects to clean or remove
ash deposits from your barbecue. Do not use
abrasive cleaners to clean your barbecue.
These can damage the finish of your product.
Clean using a water soluble detergent, taking
care to follow the manufacturers instructions.
Alcohol, prescription and non-prescription
drugs may impair the consumer’s ability to
safely operate the barbecue.
Remove food and liquids from inside your
Barbecue Stacker before moving it. They can
cause uneven distribution of weight with the
potential to lead to spills of hot liquid that could
cause bodily injury or death or lead to a fire or
explosion causing damage to property.
If removing your Barbecue Stacker during use,
ensure that you place it on a surface that is
heat resistant such as on concrete. Placing
your hot Barbecue Stacker on grass, wood or
other flammable surfaces could cause damage
or lead to a fire or explosion causing damage
to property.
It is recommended that the Barbecue Stacker
be stored on your barbecue, when not in use.!

Adjusting Your Backyard Barbecue Stacker
Your Backyard Barbecue Stacker has been supplied for it to fit directly on to a 47cm barbecue. It
can be adjusted to fit a 57cm barbecue using predrilled holes. It is a simple process to adjust the
Backyard Barbecue Stacker. Care must be taken as some assembly work is required.
1) Undo the bolts highlighted using a 10mm spanner (wrench) and 5mm Allen key, keep them
close as they will be needed again. The Backyard Barbecue Stacker is supplied with an extra set
of bolt, washers and nut. These will be required when making the Backyard Barbecue Stacker fit a
57cm barbecue.!
Top Tip: To protect your hands, use
thick gardening gloves when adjusting the
size of your Backyard Barbecue Stacker.
Top Tip: To identify the correct bolts
look for those highlighted in the picture
using the overlap as a reference point.
It is necessary to take one side of the
handle off, closest to the outer overlap.
2) When all the bolts have been undone and removed,
carefully ease the Barbecue Stacker to align with the two
outermost predrilled bolt holes (see left).
3) Fit the bolts, with hex head bolt and flat washer on the outside of
the Backyard Barbecue Stacker. Inside, fit the shake proof washer, it
can be identified as it has a split in it, followed by the nut (see right).
4) Once all the bolts have been placed loosely, including the additionally
supplied two, there should be no empty hole. Carefully tighten each of the
bolts (see left). Work around the Backyard Barbecue Stacker, from top to
bottom until they are the bolts are tight. That’s it, you’re ready to go!

Using your Deluxe Barbecue Stacker
The Deluxe Barbecue Stacker is designed to fit onto the base of the 57cm Weber kettle barbecue
range. It can also be used in an inverted manner with the Weber Smokey Mountain. If you are
planning to use the Deluxe Barbecue Stacker with any other kettle, grill or smoker, take particular
care when checking the safe and secure fit of the Barbecue Stacker. The Barbecue Stacker is
shaped to fit snugly, just as the lid does. The top edge of the Barbecue Stacker is formed so that
the lid also fits securely. These shaped edges minimise air leaks, meaning that the vents of the
barbecue control the cooking temperature inside.
Before lighting your barbecue and using your Barbecue Stacker,
take some time to familiarise yourself with the way that the
Barbecue Stacker fits. Now is also a good time to try placing your
grill on the grill tabs and think about how you can maximise the
benefits of the Barbecue Stacker. If you are cooking a beer can
chicken, for example, you will want to leave the grill on the
barbecue, as seen in 1 above. It is also a great place for a water
pan for a low and slow smoking session. Using the Barbecue
Stacker’s lower grill position, as seen in 2, is the ideal for cooking large items that you don’t want
quite so close to your heat source. The grill position as shown in image 3, is ideal for grilling or for
your meat when cooking low and slow.
The Barbecue Stacker is so flexible you can adapt it your needs on the day, whether it is beer can
chicken set up with your charcoal offset, using two grills for low and slow smoking or simply to
maximise your grill space.!

Using Your Backyard Barbecue Stacker
Your Backyard Barbecue Stacker is
designed to fit inside the base of your
47cm kettle barbecue. The lower bolts
heads should be supporting the
Barbecue Stacker on the base of the
barbecue. The barbecue’s lid will fit on
top, with the lid fitting over the top of the
Barbecue Stacker. Check, when you
place the lid, that it is centrally located
and level. If you are using your
Backyard Barbecue Stacker with a
slightly larger barbecue, you may have
to adapt the Backyard Barbecue
Stacker to fit on the outside of the base,
contact us if you are unsure.

slightly away from the heat of your barbecue, if you want to increase grill space for example. The
top grill, seen in 3, is further from your barbecue’s heat and can be used to cook more gently, if you
set up to cook low and slow for example.

General Barbecue Stacker Advice and Tips
Vent positions
With the exception of low and slow, described below, you will probably be cooking with the top and
bottom vents in the open position. You can regulate cooking temperature using them but unless
you are being particular, then there is no need to worry about this.
Vent positions for low and slow cooking
The position of the vents will need to be adjusted during the cooking process. At the beginning, if
you have a lot of charcoal burning you may need to close the vents down. As a general rule of
thumb, keep the bottom vents closed throughout the cook. The top vents can be kept open, start
by using the minion method with about a ¼ of a Weber Starter Chimney full of briquettes is about
right.
Use the top vents to regulate the heat. Closing the vents starves the charcoal of oxygen, which in
turn reduces the temperature. Open them to allow more oxygen to reach the charcoal and the
temperature will increase. Any change can take some time to be registered, so small adjustments
while you get the hang of things is a good idea. If the temperature keeps dropping, even with the
top vents wide open, try opening the bottom vents (be very careful, the bottom of your barbecue is
full of burnt ash, follow your barbecue manufacturers instructions). However, this is also probably a
sign that you need more charcoal. You can use a starter chimney to add pre-lit charcoal, if you
wish.
General Maintenance of your new Stacker
Both the Deluxe and Backyard Barbecue Stackers require little maintenance. If you want to clean
any cooking debris from them do so with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use any
abrasive scouring pads or chemical cleaners as this may damage your Barbecue Stacker. Always
test your cleaning product somewhere that will not be seen first, such as inside.
The Deluxe Barbecue Stacker has a heat resistant paint finish and can withstand temperatures of
500°C for up to an hour without causing any damage, such as colour change. If you scratch the
paint or wish to repair damaged paintwork, make sure to purchase then follow the instructions for a
paint that will also withstand these high temperatures.
Top Tip: When cooking, keep the lid on
your barbecue and don’t be tempted to take
a peek. Use a thermometer to monitor the
grill temperature. A dual probe thermometer
is recommended as this can be used to
monitor the cooking temperature as well as
the temperature of the food you are cooking.
