5. Intended Use
The Maxxfire is intended for lighting char-
coal. The coals are ignited with the heating
wires, after that the embers are fanned with
the built-in fan until the embers glow well.
For best results, please make sure that
small pieces of charcoal are touching the
heating wire sufficiently.
If you want to use briquettes for grilling,
please light up a small amount of charcoal
first before adding the briquettes for opti-
mum embers.
