Base/ Firebowl Unit Assembly
Step 1. Locate the base unit 14.
Step 2. Lay the base unit open side down and attach the 3 legs 15, using the six M5 x 10mm nuts and bolts. (Diagram 1).
*NB – Avoid over-tightening the bolts, as this can cause damage to the finish.
Step 3. Now turn the base unit over, so that it stands on its legs.
Step 4. Attach the 2 larger halves of the toggle latches 08 using the M4 x 8mm nuts and bolts (diagram 2) to the base in two places.
Step 5. Insert the Charcoal Pan 12, this should rest on the upper part of the leg.
Step 6. Attach the 3 black grill/ water pan brackets 13.
01 – Handle
02 – Gauge
03 – Lid
04 – Toggle Latch (upper)
05 – Charcoal Separator

Some Useful Tips To Get The Most Out Of Your ProQ BBQ
Season your BBQ/ smoker (this only has to be done once) – Start with a small fire (about 4Lbs of Charcoal Briquettes) in the
charcoal basket, make sure the charcoal has a grey appearance (there shouldn’t be any flames), before putting the rest of the unit on
to the base. Set the air vents to half open, and then pop some wood chips/ chunks onto the fire, this can be done through the bottom
door. Let the fire burn down until it is completely cold, this should take about 3 hours. Once you have disposed of the ash in the base
unit, your BBQ is ready to use.
Leave the top vent open.
Cleaning your BBQ – It should only be necessary to clean the 2 grills, the water pan and the base unit after each use. This can be
done with hot soapy water, and is best done as soon after each use as possible. The coating, created by the smoking process, helps
to seal and protect the inside of your BBQ. Please don’t use sharp or highly abrasive materials to clean your BBQ, as this may
damage the finish.
Safety – Always use BBQ/ Oven mitts to protect your hands, as the units will get hot.
Is it cooked? – We recommend using a good quality Temperature probe thermometer for this.
Heat loss – This is most often caused by removing the lid to look at the food, if you can, resist the temptation, as every time you
remove the lid it adds approximately 15 minutes to the cooking time.
Using your BBQ/ Smoker
To BBQ/ grill
1. You will only need the base unit and one of the grills.
2. Get the charcoal going in the charcoal basket, remember, the charcoal is only ready to cook on once it has no more "black
bits" visible.
3. Place the grill on the brackets just inside the lip of the base and away you go!
4. Use the lid if the flare ups get out of hand, or you want to use it like a Weber "Kettle"
To Roast
1. You will need the base, the cooking chamber, the water pan and the lid.
2. Get the charcoal going in the charcoal basket, remember, the charcoal is only ready to cook on once it has no more "black
bits" visible.
3. Whilst you are waiting for the charcoal to burn down, you can prepare your cooking chamber.
4. Put water in the water pan, you can add beer, wine or some herbs of your choice. Some people say that the water pan has no
effect on the end results, it is worth trying, as the juices left over make a great gravy. If you don't want to use water, fill the
pan with clean sand, as you still need to have a buffer between the food and the fire.
5. Place the food on the grill, just above the water pan and once the charcoal is ready, place the cooking chamber onto the
base unit.
6. Place the lid onto the cooking chamber, sit back and enjoy the party. A medium size chicken should take about 3 hours, but
it's always best to use a probe thermometer to be sure it's done.
To Smoke
Set up the unit exactly as if you are going to roast, the only difference is that you will be adding some wood chips, chunks or
dust to create smoke at some stage of the process.
The smoking wood is usually added at the beginning of the cooking process, and if a very slight smoky taste is what you're
after, just a handful of chips, should do the trick. Add more chips if you want a stronger flavour.
The amount and type of wood added will determine the amount and type of smoky flavour, as each variety of wood, imparts a
different taste to the food. Be a devil, and don’t be afraid to mix different wood type
