4 RECURRENT CONCEPTS This part includes definitions of some less familiar concepts. These concepts are used in several topics of the manual.

Smoking food is preparing food by exposing it to smoke from smouldering wood or charcoal. Meat and fish are the most commonty smoked foods, but you can also smoke crustaceans, vegetables and even cheeses.

There exist two types of smoking, hot and cold smoking:

+ Hot smoking is smoking food and cooking it at the same time. The food is not exposed directiy to the heat source and is cooked slowiy, at a fairy low temperature (50-80 °C).

+ Cold smoking is smoking food at a very low temperature

+ (max. 25 °C), so the food is not cooked in the process. Cold smoking is used to flavour and preserve food.

a If you want to use your appliance for cold smoking, you need the Barbecook cold smoker (223.9840.160). This accessory allows you to cold smoke all types of food in the Oskar.

Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted glass, called enamel. This enamel protects the underying metal from corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality material: i is resistant to rust, does not fade under the influence of high temperatures and is very easy to maintain. Because the enamel is less flexible than the metal which it covers, pieces of enamel can chip off when you handle the appliance incorrectly. To avoid problems, be careful wihen assembling enamelled parts and always maintain the enamel as described further in this manual.

6 SMOKING FOOD You need wood or charcoal, firelighters (complying with EN 1860-3), a long match and some liquid (water, broth, wine).

6.1 Which wood or charcoal should | use?

To light the appliance, you can use wood or charcoal:

Wood + You can use any type of wood, except pine wood.

+ Use twigs and small branches to light the appliance. You can add larger branches and logs aftenwards.

Charcoal + Always light your appliance with traditional charcoal, never with briquettes. Once the

appliance is lit, you can add briquettes.

+ Use good quality charcoal to light the appliance, preferably complying with EN 1860-2. Good quality charcoal is composed of large, shiny bricks and does not give off much dust.

+ Use small pieces of charcoal to light the appliance. You can add larger bricks afterwards.

Close your bag of charcoal properly before storing it. Always store it in a dry place, do not store it in a cellar.

ighting the appliance

Before you can smoke any food, you have to light a fire at the bottom of the appliance. Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the lid, the upper rings ofthe body, the cooking grill(s) and the broth pan from the appliance.

2. Putthe charcoal grid in the charcoal bowl.

Open the air supply holes in the ash container. You find the ash container below the charcoal bowl.

Put some firelighters on the charcoal grid. Always use firelighters that comply with EN 1860-83.

Cover the firelighters with charcoal or wood. Tips:

+ Pile the charcoal or wood in a pyramid shape. + Do not use too much charcoal or wood to light the fire. + Make sure you can still reach the firelighters. 6. Take a long match and light the firelighters. When using the appliance for the first time, let it burn for 30

minutes. This removes any remaining manufacturing greases from the appliance.

Do not put the grill on the appliance yet. An empty gril can deform when held in the heat for too long.

Waming! Do not use spirit or petrol to light or re-light the appliance.

Wait until the charcoal or wood is covered with a thin layer of white ashes. Normally, this takes about 25 minutes.

8. Spread the coals or the wood evenly over the charcoal grid and close the door in the bottom ring of the body.

the charcoal starter onto the charcoal grid.

6.3 Step 2: Starting to smoke

Once the charcoal or wood is covered with a thin layer of white ashes,

you can start smoking. Proceed as follows:

1. Putthe broth pan in the bottom ring of the body, on the three support brackets.

D Pour some liquid (water, broth, wine... in the broth pan. You can also add herbs to the liquid for extra flavour.

Put the first cooking grill on the broth pan and put your food on the grill.

Only put a single layer of food on the grill and leave enough space between the pieces of food. This allows the smoke and heat to circulate evenly around the food. 4. Oskar L: Put the upper ring of the body on the bottom ring and close the doors in both rings.

Oskar L: Put the second cooking grill on the support brackets ofthe upper ring of the body. Make sure the rim ofthe grill rests firmiy on the brackets.

6.4 Step 3: Keeping a steady temperature

Once you started smoking, you have to keep the temperature steady around 70 °C. Thanks to the thermometer in the lid, you can watch the temperature closely.

6.4.1 TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

1. Putthe lid on the appliance. Close the air supply holes in the lid and in the ash container.

D Ifthe temperature remains too high, put some soaked wood chips on the fire. This also enhances the flavour of your food.

long-handied tongs and try not to stir up the ashes or cause

d.… Close the door in the bottom ring of the body.

7 USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

7.1 Adding flavour with wood chips

To infuse your food with extra flavour, you can add flavoured wood chips to the fire. You can use the chips in two ways:

+ Soak the chips in water for 10 minutes, drain them and sprinkle them over the charcoal or wood.

+ Putthe chips in a tinfoil pouch, perforate the pouch with a fork and put the pouch on the charcoal or wood.

MAN_OSKAR_S_M_L_BBC_171109_Aindb 7

No matter which method you use, never add the chips before the charcoal or wood is covered with a thin layer of white ashes.

Barbecook provides three types of flavoured wood chips:

Apple Mid Venison, fish, fowl

Oak Medium Pork, fowl

Hickory Robust Pork chops, ribs, roasts

7.2 Keeping your food moist

To keep your food moist, put some liquid (water, broth, wine...) in the broth pan when you start smoking. Check the pan regularly during smoking and add some extra liquid to the pan when necessary. Proceed as follows:

1. Open the door in the bottom ring of the body.

2. Carefully pour the liquid in the broth pan, using a funnel or a pot with a spout.

3. Close the door in the bottom ring of the body.

Once you started smoking, avoid lifting the lid as much as possible. A considerable amount of heat and smoke escapes each time you lift the lid, which extends the cooking time of your food.

I you have to lift the lid anyway, always lift it to the side instead

of straight up. Lifting the lid straight up creates an air flow in the appliance, which can suck ashes onto your food.

7.4 Using the appliance as a grill

If you do not shield the food from the charcoal or wood with the broth pan, you can use the appliance as a regular grill. Proceed as follows: 1. Light the appliance as described under “6 Smoking food”.

2... Putthe cooking grill on the support brackets ofthe bottom ring

of the body. Make sure the rim of the grill rests fimiy on the brackets.

Put your food on the grill.
