Step 1
Follow instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Smoke King Deluxe (see “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING:
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with
lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Carefully place 5 to
6 pounds of hot coals on charcoal grate.
WARNING:
DO NOT use cooker without charcoal ash tray in place. DO
NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains
hot coals.
NOTE:
To extend the life of your cooker, make sure that hot coals and
wood do not touch the walls of cooker or lay inside of firebox
chamber under charcoal tray.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal
lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline,
kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal.
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the
use of their product. Place 5 to 6 pounds of charcoal on charcoal
grate.
Step 2
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 3
With firebox lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow
to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to
closing firebox lid.
WARNING:
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.
