Fire is a big deal and a necessary component in life not only to your senses,
but to evolution itself. That said, most people’s fire skills are open for
improvement, but not you, you are a real Firestarter from now on.
Fire skills are not difficult to learn. First we get down to the basics of
simply starting a fire and getting it going with a minimum of fuss.
Remember, never build your fire indoors, except in a real fireplace.
Before you start
Tie up any long hair
•
Wear protective gear (glasses, gloves, and shoes)
•
Keep a bucket of water nearby
•
Keep extremely flammable items away
•
Have a first aid kit handy just in case
•
Find an open area away from fences, sheds, and trees to build a fire
•
Keep in mind, there are three essential parts to a great fire: Oxygen, Fuel,
and Heat. Follow the next steps:
1. Place the plates of the Fire Cube BBQ in the desired starting position.
Decide what your are going to cook or grill because you can’t adjust
the plates after the fire is lit.
2. Place small sticks and twigs on top of the plates of the Fire Cube BBQ in
a little pile that looks like a Teepee with enough air between the sticks.
3. Light the fire with a lighter or matches. It is possible to use fire
starter fuel that is approved for lighting fires.
4. Begin placing larger dry logs onto the fire in desired arrangement
and build up your fire in the Fire Cube BBQ.
5. After a while there are fresh glowing coals on the bottom of the fire.
You can use the coal adjusters to let the coals through towards
the grill plates. It’s best to use your poke push the coals through
the holes manually, this way you have the best control.
6. Now play around with the adjusters and doors to regulate the
temperature and enjoy your fire while cooking and grilling!
How to use your Fire Cube BBQ for the first time(s)
1. Keep things simple and social, don’t stress out over details
2. Choose the position of your grilling plates
(the standard position 2 will do fine for most cooking)
3. Leave out the doors (use these when you mastered
controlling the fire and are a experienced pit master)
4. Make a nice fire and watch the flames
5. Drop down the coals with a poke
6. Enjoy your BBQ and play around with the fire
Do Not
Use woods that have been treated with chemicals, or come from unknown
•
sources, as this will spoil your food and in extreme cases may be harmful
to your own health.
Never leave the Fire Cube BBQ unattended. Kids are wonderful, but curious
•
creatures, so please keep them safe by ensuring that they (or any pets)
cannot touch or interfere with the Fire Cube BBQ whilst it is in use.

How does it work?
The Fire Plates can be
placed in 3 positions.
This influences the
temperature in the
BBQ compartments.
WARNING!
If you adjust the fire
plates when the fire is
burning… Duh! You will
get hospitalized!
So when in use all the metal
plates are extremely hot
and should not be touched
bare handed.
Grilling. In position 2 the
temperature will be right
for grilling, between 150
- 300 degrees. The door is
used only for extra heat
if necessary.

Slow Cooking. In position 3
there will only be indirect
heating. This is perfect for
slow cooking. The temperature in the compartment
will be between 50-150
degrees. The door should
be closed.

BBQ (searin g). In position 1
the temperature will be
the highest. There is no
need for the door and it
can be removed. This is
ideal for barbecuing.
The grill plates are
made from high quality
stainless steel and can
also be placed above
the fire.
Typical usage…
The doors are used to
control the temperature.

removed easily when
the Fire Cube has cooled
