QUICK START GUIDE

Please check Important Safety
Instructions before starting (page 11)
and connect flue pipe (page 8).

Light your appliance using Chesneys
firelighters. WARNING! Do not use spirit
or petrol for lighting or re-lighting! Use
only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3!

Place two firelighters in the base of the
appliance. Cover with a layer of
Chesneys natural lump-wood charcoal
to an even thickness, no higher than
the front lip of the furnace. Keep the
lid of the appliance closed. Ignite the
firelighters.

The appliance can also be lit from the
top down, placing two firelighters on a
bed of wood or charcoal.

Lower the baffle down in front of the
glass and pull the air control lever to
the fully out position. Leave the door
ajar for a few minutes until the fire has
caught well and place the thermometer
probe into the appliance (Please see
the thermometer unit instructions for
detailed operating information). After a
few minutes, close the door.

During the first firing the paint goes
through a curing process. The unit may
give off an unpleasant odour, this is
quite normal as the paint cures and will
disappear after the first use. On the
first lighting run the unit for at least 30
minutes at a high temperature (300°C)
prior to cooking.

1

GET COOKING...

Cooking should always be done with
the baffle in the down position. This
limits the grease and fat accumulating
onto the glass and protects the user
from the heat of the fire.

The temperature is regulated by the
air control lever. With the air control
lever fully out and the lid closed; you
will see the temperature increase on
the thermometer.

After approximately 15 minutes you
should push the air control lever in to
stabilise the temperature. When you
have achieved the required
temperature for your cooking, lift the
lid, place the food and then close the
lid. Cook with the lid closed which
will maintain the heat in the oven
furnace and deliver perfect results.

Do not cook before the fuel has a
coating of ash.

IMPORTANT: When operating at high
temperatures and to avoid flashback
when cooking - before opening the lid
fully, lift it carefully 20-30mm then
close completely. It is now safe to
fully open the lid. Ensure that the air
control level is out at the same time.

COOKING, THE
DETAILS

The grill can be raised and lowered,
depending on your cooking need, for
example if the extra grill depth is
required for roasting a joint of meat.

To adjust the grill height simply
release the locking pin by pulling this
out, whilst extended, rotate the grill
and release the pin to lock the grill in
to position.

Using a wok or pizza stone also makes
use of this feature - The wok ring
requires the grill to be in the lower
position, whist the pizza stone uses the
higher position.

COOKING
TEMPERATURES

The appliance is perfect for smoking
and slowly cooking cuts of meat over a
controlled smouldering wood or
charcoal fire. It burns the fuel/wood
cleanly and controllably within a
narrow temperature band.

General furnace cooking temperature.

• Low and slow (e.g. brisket) 110-130°C

• General barbecuing 200-230°C

• Chicken pieces, Lamb chops, Steak,

Sausages, Burgers 210-230°C

• Pizza baking with clay stone

accessory 350-400°C

• Wok cooking with wok and accessory

wok ring 380°C

For slow cooking the rain / flue cap
adjuster would need to be used.

Align the vent in the flue with the vent
in the flue cap so that the vent is fully
open. Turn the flue cap left or right in
order to reduce the vent opening and
thereby reduce the furnace temperature
to the desired temperature.

Some adjustment of the air control
lever may also be necessary in
coordination with the flue cap vent to
achieve the desired temperature.

WARNING! Always use the gloves
provided when touching the flue pipe
& flue cap. The appliance will get very
hot during use.

Always remove flue cap when in
heating mode.

HEATING MODE

When you have finished cooking you
can put the appliance into Heat mode.

Remove the thermometer probe and
set aside.

Slowly open the door and with the tool
and gloves provided raise the baffle
into the top of the furnace area. Please
note, the baffle can only be raised with
the grill in its high position.

Add small Chesneys kiln dried logs to
glowing the embers of the charcoal.
For best results the embers should be
glowing before loading the logs.

Close the door.

Pull the air control lever out for 1-2
minutes to make sure that the logs
have caught and then control the fire
using the air control lever. You will be
able to set the air control lever at the
notch marked to give a steady slow
burn.

In heating mode, combustion
temperatures of up to 600°C are
achieved which radiate through the
high temperature glass. At this
temperature the smoke and volatiles
are burnt off with maximum efficiency
and produce a clean burn. To prevent
excessive smoke, never overload the
appliance with more than 2-3 small logs.
Generally there is no need to pull the
lever out past the notch.

5

STORAGE AND
MOVING

At the end of the evening whether in
heating or cooking mode the
appliance can be extinguished by
fitting the rain cap vent in the closed
position at the same time as closing
in completely the air control lever.
The appliance should be allowed to
completely cool down overnight until
you have confirmed that there is no
fire alight before fitting the rain
cover.

The appliance should be covered with
the rain cover to prevent the ingress
of water and moisture into the
appliance. All glowing embers and
hot ash should be removed prior to
fitting the cover and the body
temperature should have totally
cooled down.

The removable serving shelves
should not be used as a chopping
board. Do not leave them outside
overnight, or out in the rain or other
inclement weather.

If you need to move your appliance
on a regular basis use the optional
Chesneys trolley accessory. This
simply attaches onto the back of the
appliance using the mounting point
illustrated.

Once attached the appliance can
easily be maneuvered.

Warning: Never attempt to
move the appliance with the lid
in the open position.

WARNING! This barbecue will
become very hot, do not move it
during operation.

WARNING! It is not possible
to use the appliance when the
trolley is attached.

THERMOMETER
INSTRUCTIONS

The thermometer is provided to
assist with cooking operation and is
attached to the appliance body with
two bolts. The probe is then placed
over the top of the grill so that the
end is just below the cooking surface.

Please refer to the thermometer unit
instructions for detailed operating
instructions.

Please remove thermometer probe
and thermometer unit prior to using
the appliance in heater mode as the
increased temperature may damage
the thermometer/thermocouple.

GUARANTEE AND WARRANTY

This warranty is for the original purchaser of the appliance from an authorised dealer/stockist and who has
registered the warranty as required. This warranty is non-transferable. This warranty is in addition to and does
not affect your statutory rights.

Your Chesneys BBQ Heater comes with the following warranty:

• A limited 3 year warranty on the structural integrity of the body. The warranty is for defects in materials
and workmanship. HEAT has been manufactured using quality materials to resist corrosion as much as
possible and use of specialist paint for metal surfaces suitable for high temperature and outdoor use. The
paint surface and various metals can be affected by exposure to external factors including, but not limited
to, chlorine, chemicals, humidity, salt. The paint finish will also be compromised by surface scratches and
abrasions. For this reason, the warranty does not cover rust, oxidation, blemishes or fading. The Chesneys
HEAT range is for outdoor use only. It is exposed to the elements/weather including rain, sun, snow, wind
and damp and corrosion/wear and tear is to be expected. This does not detract from the functioning of the
product. Maintenance will be required to preserve the appearance of the unit and touching up of the paint
as necessary will be needed. Please note units located within 10 miles of coastal areas will be subject to
increased moisture and salt levels and more frequent maintenance will be required.

• A limited 1 year warranty on the non-consumable parts such as the door, lid, handle, hinges, air damper
plate, wooden shelves, digital thermometer and thermocouple. The wooden shelves must be treated with care
and as suggested in the instruction and are not covered for normal outdoor weathering, changes in colour or
appearance and cracks/splitting unless there is a loss of structural integrity.

Items such as fire bricks, baffle plate, glass, rope seal, door closing mechanism, ash pan, fire grate and grill
are consumable items and are not covered by a warranty. These items will deteriorate over time and will need
replacing. The length of time that these parts last will depend on the type of fuel used, and how hot and long
the appliance is left to run. The fire bricks, rope seal and baffle plate are subjected to a huge amount of stress
while the unit is under fire, so they will appear stressed quite quickly and the bricks can sometimes crack. This
does not mean their integrity is compromised and they will have plenty of life left in them. The bricks should
be replaced when they have eroded by 25%, you can see the steel behind them or they have cracked with a
gap of 3mm or greater.

The warranty is based on normal domestic use. Products used in a commercial setting has a limited 1 year
warranty on the structural integrity of the body. The warranty does not cover improper use, mishandling or
unauthorised modifications. The warranty does not cover accidental or consequential damage. The warranty
does not cover scratches, dents and other cosmetic marks which do not affect the performance of the
appliance. This warranty is not applicable if purchased through an unauthorised dealer/stockist. The warranty
begins at the date of purchase. Any warranty claim must be addressed to the authorised dealer from whom the
BBQ Heater has been puchased and include the purchase receipt showing date of purchase and the name of
the dealer, a description of the problem and preferably visual evidence of the defect.

Items will be repaired or replaced at the discretion of Chesneys, subject to the terms and conditions of the
warranty. Chesneys is not liable for shipping costs, duties, taxes, repair or return, unless authorised in advance
in writing by Chesneys.

Caution note: Never place your Chesneys BBQ Heater directly on or nearby combustible materials and never
leave the product unattended while in use. Failure to safely operate the Chesneys BBQ Heater will void the
warranty. Chesneys disclaim any liability for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damage which
may result.
