BACKBURNER PREPARATION & USE (WHERE FITTED)
*
Available from your nearest Fire Magic Dealer
Using Your Backburner
Rotisserie cooking with the backburner is accomplished without
use of the main burners. The cooking grids are removed and if
large cuts are to be barbecued, the flavor grids may be removed
to allow more clearance from the spit rod to the fire box.
Aluminum foil or a baking pan may be placed over the main
burners to catch excess drippings from cooking.
a. Remove the backburner cover.
b. Place your meat on the rotisserie spit rod. Make sure it is
centered on the spit. Refer to the instructions provided with
your Fire Magic Rotisserie and counter balance.
c. Follow the 'Lighting Instructions' on page 10
d. Allow the backburner to preheat for approximately 10
minutes on 'HIGH' setting.
e. Place the spit rod with the meat into the rotisserie and turn
on the motor.
f. Use a standard roasting guide to estimate the length of time
for your meat. A meat thermometer may also be used to tell
when your favorite cuts are cooked to your liking. When testing
temperatures with a thermometer, turn off the rotisserie motor
and turn the backburner on 'LOW'. This will keep the meat from
over cooking on one side.
g. Operate your backburner with the oven closed. This will
simulate an oven effect and help your meat cook faster. The
constant rotation of the spit assures even cooking and maximum
retention of juices.
h. On large cuts of meat or whole turkeys, it may be necessary
to reduce the heat from your backburner. Cooking your food at
lower temperature for a longer period of time will keep outer
surface from burning while cooking the interior of your meat.
Smoker Tray (Woodchip Box)
Your backburner is supplied with a woodchip box. The woodchip
box is designed to sit on top of the backburner assembly over
the notch in the heat deflector (see Figure 17). This box is
designed to be used when the backburner is in use. To use the
box, just fill it with your favorite woodchips and set it in place.
If you wish to refill the woodchip box when it is hot, you may
carefully handle it using a pair of pliers. You must be very
cautious not to get burned.

The Backburner Cover
a. The backburner cover is installed by placing the curved part
of the cover over the top of the perforated portion of the
backburner (see Figure 17).
b. The cover should be kept in place on the backburner when
it is not in use. This will keep your backburner free from grease
splatter and debris that may hinder its performance.

FLAVOR FROM WOOD CHIPS OR CHARCOAL
Convenient Grilling Chips* are sold in several different popular
wood types. These chips are pre-moistened and sealed in cans.
To use follow the instructions on the side of the can. After use
there is no mess to clean up, just discard the can of ashes
after there is no longer any wood smoke aroma. Grilling Chips*
may be purchased through your local dealer.
You may also add wood chips, wood chunks or the natural
wood charcoal of your choice to the flavor grid. We recommend
placing wood outside the direct cooking zone or wrapping it in
perforated aluminum foil. Soaking wood before use will slow
burning and increase smoke flavor. Wood and charcoal ash
will remain in the flavor grid after use. The grid can be easily
removed and cleaned when the unit has fully cooled.
