Using a Charcoal Chimney
Half fill the Ozpig body with your fuel selection ensuring that nothing can fall out when the front door is opened. Fill a charcoal chimney with your selection of charcoal or briquettes. Light these and once they are fully alight and greyed over pour them on top of the fuel in the body. Ensure that nothing can fall out the front door. Following this, place your smoker on top of the Ozpig.
Firelighters Only
Place firelighters throughout the charcoal or briquettes. Light the firelighters and begin the burn down process. Once the fuel is ashed over you're ready. For this method ensure you use natural firelighters as artificial ones will taint your smoker and this smell and flavour will permeate throughout your cook and is difficult to remove. If using artificial firelighters make sure the smoker is not placed on top of the Ozpig until they have completely burnt off.
Air Control
Using the vented door on the Ozpig Series 2 or the vent grates on the Big Pig, ensure the vents are wide open for maximum air flow. Ensure that your chimney baffle is fully open and bring the oven smoker up to your desired temperature. If you are struggling to reach the temperatures that you require you can always add wood to bring up the temperature.
