ABOUT YOUR CERAMIC CHARCOAL BARBECUE

Ceramic charcoal barbecues are extremely versatile. Not only can

they be used for grilling or smoking, but also pizzas, bread, pies and

cookies can be baked effortlessly inside them.

Due to their excellent heat retention properties, high temperatures

can be achieved and maintained by precise control of airflow via

the top and bottom vents. High temperatures are ideal for quickly

cooking burgers and sausages, while low heats can cook larger cuts

over a longer period of time.

Try adding some wood chips to the charcoal, or try combining different

flavour wood chips to make your meats even more flavourful.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

This product is intended for outdoor use only. Do not use indoors.

Never leave a burning fire unattended. Always keep children and pets

at a safe distance from the oven when in use.

  May emit hot embers while in use.

     never light this

product, let it smolder or cool down in confined spaces.

Do not use this product in a tent, caravan, car, cellar, loft or boat. Do

not use this ceramic unit as a furnace.

 Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or

other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting. Use only firelighters

complying to 1860-3.

It is highly recommended that you use lump charcoal in your ceramic

barbecue. It burns for longer and produces less ash, which can restrict

the airflow. Do not use coal in this product.

 When opening the lid at high temperatures it is

essential to lift the lid only slightly, which allows air to enter slowly

and safely, preventing any back-draft or flare-ups that may cause

injury. Do not use under any awnings, parasols or gazebos.

Always follow the cooking temperature guide stated in this

instruction manual.

Do not use the ceramic charcoal barbecue on decking or any other

combustible surfaces such as dry grass, wood chips, leaf mulch,

or decorative bark. Ensure that the ceramic charcoal barbecue is

positioned at least two meters away from flammable items.

 This product will become very hot. Always use heat

resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.

Allow the unit to cool down completely before moving or storing. Do

not move it during operation.

Always inspect the unit prior to use for fatigue and damage, and

replace as and when necessary.

  

FIRST USE - CURING THE UNIT

Curing your ceramic charcoal barbecue is important for its long-term

operation and care. Avoiding the curing procedure could lead to

damage on the unit. If the first burns are too hot, they could damage

the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance to mature with use.

To start your first fire, place one lighter cube or solid firelighters and

one handful of lump charcoal on top of the charcoal plate (7). Open

the bottom vent and light the lighter cube using a long-nosed lighter

or safety matches.

Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar

chemicals for lighting or relighting.

Once the lump charcoal has caught, cure the unit by closing the lid,

and leaving both vents mostly closed. See Cooking Temperature

Guide for Smoking (83ºC - 108ºC / 180ºF - 225ºF). Burn until

all the fuel is used and the fire is extinguished. This should take

approximately two hours. Do not overload the unit with fuel.

After first use, inspect all fasteners. The metal band connecting your

lid to the base will expand from the heat and could become loose. It

is recommended you check and tighten the band, if necessary, with a

wrench. You can now use your ceramic charcoal barbecue as normal.

LIGHTING

When using the ceramic charcoal barbecue, push down on both of

the locking wheels to stop the unit from moving around during use.

Ensure the ceramic barbecue is positioned on a permanent, flat, level,

heat-resistant non-flammable surface, away from flammable items.

Position the ceramic charcoal barbecue with a minimum of 2 m

overhead clearance and at least 2 m clearance from other surrounding

items.

1. To start a fire, place rolled-up newspaper and some lighter cubes

or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate (7), in the base of the

ceramic charcoal barbecue. Then, place two or three handfuls of

lump charcoal over the top of the newspaper.

2. Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other

similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.

3. Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long-

nosed lighter or safety matches. Once it has caught, leave the

bottom vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to build a small

bed of hot embers.

4. Allow the charcoal to heat up and keep it red hot for at least

30 minutes prior to the first cooking on the ceramic charcoal

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

5. It is recommended that you do not stoke or turn the coals once

they are alight. This allows the charcoals to burn more uniformly

ENGLISH

5

and efficiently.

6. Once alight, only use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot

ceramics or cooking surfaces.

Read through this manual for a complete detailed guide on cooking

temperatures for grilling.

REFUELING

With the top and bottom vent closed, the ceramic charcoal barbecue

will stay at a high temperature for several hours.

If you require a longer cooking time (e.g. when roasting a whole cut

or slow-smoking), it may be necessary to add more charcoal. Open

the lid, add additional charcoal, and continue to cook as directed in

this manual.

EXTINGUISHING

To extinguish unit: stop adding fuel and close all the vents and the lid

to allow the fire to die naturally.

Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the

ceramic charcoal barbecue.

STORAGE

When not in use, and if stored outside, cover the ceramic charcoal

barbecue once completely cooled with a suitable rain cover.

It is recommended the ceramic charcoal barbecue be stored under

cover in a garage or shed over winter for complete protection.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The ceramic charcoal barbecue is self-cleaning. Heat it up to 260ºC /

500ºF for 30 minutes and it will scorch off all food and debris.

NOTE: Do not use water or any other types of cleaning product to

clean the inside of your ceramic charcoal barbecue. The walls are

porous and will absorb any fluids used, which could cause the ceramic

charcoal barbecue to crack.

After the ceramic charcoal barbecue has cooled, if the soot becomes

excessive, use the ash tool (14) to scrape off the carbon remnants

before the next use. Carefully open the bottom vent and rake the

soot into a small waste container under the vent opening. Dispose of

container, or store for future use (soot).

To clean the grills and grates, use a non-abrasive cleaner once the unit

has fully cooled. The chrome-plated cooking grill is not dishwasher

safe; use a mild detergent with warm water.

To clean the outer surface, wait until the ceramic charcoal barbecue

is cool and use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. It is important

to check and tighten the bands, and oil the hinges, twice a year or

more if needed. You should not be able to easily turn a hex key while

holding the nut in place.

GENERAL FOOD SAFETY

Read and follow this advice when cooking on your ceramic charcoal

barbecue:

• Do not cook until the fuel has a coating of ash.

• Before cooking, ensure grill surfaces and tools are clean and free

of old food residues.

• Always wash your hands before and after handling uncooked

meat, and before eating.

• Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked and uncooked

foods. Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat, and

other foods.

• Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before eating.

CAUTION: Eating raw or undercooked meat can cause food poisoning

(e.g. bacteria strains such as E.coli). To reduce the risk of undercooked

meat, cut open to ensure it is cooked all the way through.

CAUTION: If the meat has been cooked sufficiently, the meat juice

should be clear and there should be no traces of pink/red juice,

or meat colouring. Pre-cooking larger pieces of meat and cuts is

recommended before finally cooking on your grill.

After cooking on your ceramic charcoal barbecue, always clean the

grill cooking surfaces and utensils.

CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY

The Ceramic series by Pit Boss, manufactured by Dansons Inc., carries

a Limited Lifetime Warranty from the date of sale by the original

owner only.

The warranty coverage begins on the original date of purchase and

proof of date of purchase, or copy of original bill of sale, is required

to validate the warranty.

CERAMIC PARTS

Dansons carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all ceramic parts used

to manufacture the ceramic charcoal barbecue. Dansons warrants

that all part(s) are free of defects in material and workmanship, for

the length of use and ownership of the original purchaser.

Warranty does not cover damage from wear and tear, such as

scratches, dents, dings, chips or minor cosmetic cracks. These

aesthetic changes of the grill do not affect its performance.

Upon close inspection, the finish of your ceramic charcoal barbecue

may appear to have crack lines. This is not cracking of the ceramic.

This is known as crazing and is caused by the different expansion

rates between the glaze finish and the clay.

 

Available for purchase separately.

PIZZA STONE & ELEVATOR

Essential accessory for evenly cooking crispy pizzas, flatbreads and

other delights.

HEAT DEFLECTOR

Enjoy cooking without open flame by evenly distributing heat across

the grids.

CHICKEN THRONE

Stand-up flavour cooked in your chicken, with your favourite choice

of marinade.

GRID GRIPPERS

Allows you to lift the pizza stone or cooking grids when they are too

hot to handle.

GRILL COVER

When the ceramic charcoal barbecue has cooled and is not in use,

cover it with a rain cover for extra protection.

The spider-web pattern of cracking is

different from a break in the aspect that

it cannot be felt on the surface, unless

using a fingernail; however, it does

become more visually apparent when

the surface is dusty or magnified. While

these may appear as imperfections,

crazing does not affect the performance or life span of your ceramic

charcoal barbecue; therefore, not a warranty issue. The process of

crazing effectively increases the toughness of the unit.

During the term of the limited warranty, Dansons’ obligation shall be

limited to furnishing a replacement for covered, failed components,

F.O.B. point of shipment.

METAL & CAST-IRON PARTS

Dansons carries a five year warranty on all metal and cast iron parts

used to manufacture the ceramic charcoal barbecue. Dansons warrants

that all part(s) are free of defects in material and workmanship, for

the length of use and ownership of the original purchaser.

High temperatures, excessive humidity, chlorine, industrial fumes,

chemicals, fertilizers, lawn pesticides and salt are some of the

substances that can affect metal parts. For these reasons, the

warranty does not cover rust or oxidization.

Kindly refer to your manual for proper cleaning and maintenance

of your ceramic charcoal barbecue. Dansons recommends that you

10

ENGLISH

purchase a full-length protective cover, and to cover your grill when

not in use. Even with these safeguards, the ceramic charcoal barbecue

can be compromised by various substances and conditions beyond

Dansons’ control.

WOOD PARTS

Dansons carries a one year warranty on all wood and composite

components used to manufacture the ceramic charcoal barbecue.

Warranty does not cover cosmetic or color changes, weathering or

cracks, unless there is a loss of structural integrity. Refer to your

Instruction Manual’s section for proper care of wood products.

Warranty does not cover damage from wear and tear, such as

scratches, dents, dings, chips or minor cosmetic cracks. These

aesthetic changes of the grill do not affect its performance.

THERMOMETER

Dansons carries a one year warranty on the temperature gauge used

to manufacture the ceramic charcoal barbecue. Warranty does not

cover rust, oxidation, or other blemishes, due to lack of cleaning or

maintenance.

CASTER WHEELS

Dansons carries a one year warranty on the castor wheels used to

manufacture the ceramic charcoal barbecue. Warranty does not

cover rust, oxidation, or other blemishes, due to lack of cleaning or

maintenance.

VOID OF WARRANTY

The use or abuse of this product for purposes other than that for

which it is designed will void the warranty.

Damage caused by lack of proper use, assembly, maintenance or

installation is not covered. The pouring of lighter fluid or other liquids

on your grill will void this warranty. This could result in damage or

serious injury to the user of the ceramic charcoal barbecue, and result

in excessive damage to the grill and its many parts and components.

This warranty is only applicable if the ceramic charcoal barbecue

is purchased through an authorized dealer. The purchase of any

product by a third party, or unauthorized dealer, voids the warranty.

Only select dealers and retailers have permission, by Dansons, to sell

Ceramic series products.

WARRANTY EXEMPTIONS

This warranty is based on normal and domestic use and service of

the product. Damages or breakage caused by accidents, natural

disasters, unauthorized attachments or modifications, or damage

during transport are also not covered.

Warranty does not cover damage from wear and tear, such as

scratches, dents, dings, chips or minor cosmetic cracks. These

aesthetic changes of the grill do not affect its performance.

This limited lifetime warranty gives you specific legal rights and you

may have other rights, which vary based on locale.

Neither the manufacturer nor the suppliers to the purchaser accept

responsibility, legal or otherwise, for the incidental or consequential

damage to the property or persons resulting from the use of this

product. This warranty will not apply if your appliance has not been

installed, operated, cleaned and maintained in strict accordance with

the manual’s instructions. Burning poor or low-quality charcoal may

void the warranty.

All warranties by manufacturer are set forth herein and no claim

shall be made against manufacturer on any oral warranty or

representation. Whether a claim is made against the manufacturer

based on the breach of this warranty or any other type of warranty

expressed or implied by law, manufacturer shall in no event be liable

for any special, indirect, consequential or other damages of any

nature whatsoever in excess of the original purchase price of this

product.

Some locales do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or

consequential damages, or limitations of implied warranties, so the

limitations or exclusions set forth in this warranty may not apply to

you.

Dansons does not authorize any person or representative to assume

for Dansons any obligation or liability in connection with the sale of

the ceramic charcoal barbecue. This means that no warranties, either

expressed or implied, are extended to persons who purchase the

product from any one other than Dansons or an authorized Dansons

Dealer.

As long as it is within the warranty period, Dansons will not charge

for repair or replacement for parts returned, freight prepaid, if the

part(s) are found by Dansons to be defective upon examination.

Dansons shall not be liable for transportation charges, labour

costs, or export duties. Except as provided in this paragraph, repair

or replacement of parts, in the manner and for the period of time

stipulated hereunder, shall constitute the fulfillment of all direct and

derivate liabilities and obligations from Dansons to you.

3. Damper won’t slide. Tap the damper lightly with a rubber

hammer to loosen. If no improvement, call Customer Service.

FIRE PROBLEMS

1. If you have trouble lighting the barbecue, ensure that both the

top and bottom vents are open. The fire needs oxygen to catch.

Once it has caught, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about

10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.

2. The barbecue may quickly lose fire if there is not enough charcoal

in the ceramic body. The recommended use of lump charcoal is a

maximum of 4lbs per burn.

Be sure not to overload the unit with fuel. If the fire is too

intense, the excessive heat could damage the ceramic charcoal

barbecue.

3. To prevent any back-draft or flare-ups that may cause injury, it is

well advised to lift the lid only slightly (also known as burping),

which allows air to enter slowly and safely.

FINISHING PROBLEMS

1. The paint is chipped on the ceramic. Use the touch-up paint

provided. If chipping is substantial, call Customer Service.

2. The spider-web pattern of cracking is different from a break in

the aspect that it cannot be felt on the surface, unless using

a fingernail; however, it does become more visually apparent

when the surface is dusty or magnified. While these may appear

as imperfections, crazing does not affect the performance or life

span of your ceramic charcoal barbecue. The process of crazing

effectively increases the toughness of the unit.

3. Curing your ceramic charcoal barbecue is important for its long-

term operation and care. If the first burns are too hot, they

could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance

to mature with use.

If the lid gets stuck, or sealed, together with the base, use a

knife to carefully unseal and cut off the felt gasket that trims

the lid opening. Once removed, you will be able to open the lid.

Before continuing to use the unit, replace the high-heat felt

PERFECTLY GRILLED STEAKS

Makes 2–4 servings

Ingredients:

2 rib-eye steaks (3cm / 1¼ inch thick)

Pit Boss Chop House Steak Rub seasoning

Directions:

1. No more than an hour before grilling, let steaks come to room

temperature.

2. Generously sprinkle Pit Boss Chop House Steak Rub to both sides

of each steak, allowing time for the rub to melt into the meat.

3. Light your ceramic charcoal barbecue to 205°C / 400°F. Place

steaks directly on the grill. For a medium done steak, sear each

side for 5–7 minutes, flipping the steaks only once. Adjust time

to your desired doneness.

4. Remove steaks from the grill, cover with tin foil, and let sit 10

minutes before slicing and serving.

 Use tongs to flip steaks. Do not flip the steaks with a fork or

cut into the meat until ready to serve. Any cuts or punctures in the

meat will cause juices to escape and dry out your steak.

TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS

1. My barbecue gets too hot. Close the lid, mostly close both vents,

and allow the barbecue to smother with lack of oxygen. For low

temperature cooking, use less fuel.

2. My barbecue doesn’t get hot enough. Add more fuel and leave

both vents completely open. More oxygen flow will allow the

fire to increase, burning more lump charcoal.

If the problem is not fixable to one of the above solutions,

please contact our Pit Boss Grills Customer Service department.

Do not return the product to the retailer -- they do not provide
