This article explains how to use the BORETTI CORDLESS CHARCOAL IGNITER (BBA92) by Boretti.
1. How to light a barbecue step by step
1. Charge the igniter battery sufficiently before use.
2. Before lighting your barbecue, make a small pile or pyramid of charcoal so that the heat can spread more easily after you light the charcoal. 1
2. Set the igniter to position II (high temperature) and touch the charcoal until it starts to glow red hot.
- Ideally, start the fire where several pieces of charcoal come together.
- If you want to grill at a high temperature, create multiple ignition points so that the fire will immediately reach high temperatures.
- If you want to grill at lower temperatures (low & slow), light only one single ignition point so that the charcoal burns gradually and at a lower temperature.
3. Withdraw the igniter as soon as the charcoal starts to glow red hot.
- This is to prevent the igniter from overheating and it ensures that the heat is spread better by the charcoal. Warning! If you leave it too late to withdraw the igniter, the device will get damaged or parts of it may even melt. Stay at a safe distance after lighting the charcoal.
- Continue to blow air onto the fire (from a distance), with the device in position I (low temperature), until you achieve the desired result.
4. Wait and enjoy
- Switch off the device, remove the battery, and let the device cool down in a safe place out of the reach of children.
- It may take a while for the charcoal/barbecue to reach the desired temperature. Enjoy your dish!
