  • Step 1

    To build the skewers, thread ingredients in the following order, leaving 1/4th of the skewer empty: green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, onion, and paneer cube. Season skewer ingredients on all sides with salt and pepper.  

  • Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil and tikka paste. Then brush onto the skewers to evenly cover  

  • Step 3

    To install the grill plate, position it flat on top of the heating element and gently press down until it sits into place, then close the lid.  

  • Step 4

    While holding the smokebox lid open, use the pellet scoop to pour pellets into the smoke box until filled to the top. Then close smoke box lid.​ 

  • Step 5

    Turn dial to GRILL. Press WOODFIRE FLAVOUR. Set the temperature to MED and set time to 10 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 13-17 minutes). 

  • Step 6

    When unit beeps to signify it is preheated and ADD FOOD is displayed, open lid, and add skewers to grill. Close lid to begin cooking.  

  • Step 7
