Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes
to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting
fluid safely away from the cooker.
Step 4
With firebox lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal. Allow to
burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING:
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off
prior to closing firebox lid (approximately 20 minutes).
Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting
fluid in firebox and may result in a flash-fire or explosion
when lid is opened.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the firebox lid and smoker door.
Allow the temperature to reach 225° on the heat indicator. Maintain
this temperature for 2 hours.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to 400° on the heat indicator . This can be
achieved by adding more charcoal and/or wood (see “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual). Maintain this
temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.
NOTE:
It is important that the exterior of the cooker is not scraped or
rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT:
To protect your cooker from excessive rust, the unit must
be cured periodically and covered at all times when not in
use. A cover can be ordered directly from Brinkmann by
calling 1-800-468-5252.
YOUR BRINKMANN SMOKE KING DELUXE IS NOW CURED
AND READY FOR USE.
