• Follow all manufacturer’s recommended
instructions with your grill of choice.
• Use protective gear (gloves, etc) as necessary
when working with or around the hot grill.
• Fully extinguish all coals before removing the
Charcoal Basket from your grill.
Optional: add smoking wood of choice on top of
coals making sure some of the wood is placed over
the lit charcoal. Chips are good for short cooks.
Use chunks for cooks longer than 2 hours.
Optional: fill an aluminum foil pan with water and
place above the coals to provide moisture during
the cook. We recommend filling a 7.5” by 5” or
9.8” by 3.8” pan with one quart of water for 2+
hours of steam.
3) Place the lid on the grill, top vent opposite
the Charcoal Basket. Adjust bottom vent to half-
open and top vent to fully open while bringing
the pit up to temp. Once temperatures reach
~175 F, start closing down the top vent. Ac

1) Begin by lighting 6 to 8 briquets (or similar
amount of fuel) in one corner of the basket using a
chimney starter cube or similar fire starter.

stabilize before making additional changes.
4) Once your pit has reached the desired tem-
perature, place meat on the indirect side of the
grill. If using temperature probes, we recommend
running them through the top vent to prevent air
leaks around the lid. Insert the meat probe into
the center of your meat and place the pit temp
probe as far away as you can (2” is ideal) from the
meat for accurate temperature readings.

lighting instructions
Depending on how long and how much you’ll be
cooking, fully light 1/2 to a full charcoal basket full
of fuel. Allow 10-15 minutes for the coals to become
well-lit, place the lid on the kettle and adjust vent
settings to reach your desired temperature.
We don’t recommend using a water pan as the
liquid will evaporate too quickly at these higher
temperatures to provide any benefit.
Sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy the
