4.
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lids open, wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into
charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.
5.
With grill lids open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light
ash (approximately 20 minutes). When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of
charcoal grates.
WARNING:
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lids
(approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid
in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lids are opened.
Note:
To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
