Safety Instructions

Please read this before assembling or using BSTRD. 

Follow the assembly instructions to avoid damage or incorrect assembly of parts. A video instruction for unpacking and assembling it can be found here. 

Note! 

Be careful when lighting charcoal, touching the outside of the kamado, or handling hot grill surfaces. Wear heat-resistant gloves such as the Fiber Thermo BBQ Gloves. Use the Grid Lifter or Grill Clipper to grab and lift hot grills. Place hot grills in a place where there can be no contact with flammable surfaces.

Never remove the interior of the kamado when it still contains hot charcoal or is hot. The ceramic and charcoal stay hot for a long time because the kamado insulates so well. Do not remove hot charcoal from BSTRD. either.

Never move a BSTRD. while it is hot. The hot charcoal can cause bodily injury or property damage if it falls. 

Take care when transporting, loading or unloading BSTRD. The kamado is heavy and may cause bodily injury or property damage if dropped. 

Do not lean on the handle, the bamboo side tables, the frame or the hinge of BSTRD.

Take care and be careful when using BSTRD. Avoid injury from metal parts: be careful when handling the hinge, top cap and air slider parts to avoid injury from metal edges.

Prevent flame jets by carefully opening the lid of a lit BSTRD. a little bit before fully opening the lid. Slowly lift the lid about 5 cm up so that the air flows in slowly. Take extra care when opening a lit BSTRD. while both air controls are closed. The sudden influx of air can cause dangerously high flames. If there are high flames: close the lid and vents to control the flames.  

Close the top cap and air slider when you finish grilling to seal off the air supply and prevent the kamado from reaching high temperatures again. Be even more careful when opening the lid while BSTRD. has not yet cooled down completely. Then keep in mind that the inflow of fresh air may rekindle the fire.

Attention to the environment!

Always keep children, pets, clothing or flammable objects away from BSTRD. when in use. So do not allow children to open the lid or play near BSTRD.

Do not place BSTRD. on an uneven surface, a slope or a place where it can be knocked over. Lock the castor wheels when BSTRD. s in place.

Check the area around BSTRD. regularly to make sure it has not been affected by heat transfer.

BSTRD. should be used outdoors with adequate air circulation and never inside or near flammable objects. Always follow local laws and regulations
