Additional charcoal may be required to maintain or increase
cooking temperature.
NOTE:
Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal so you may want to
increase the ratio of dry wood to charcoal to increase the
cooking temperature. Hardwoods such as oak, hickory,
mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent fuel because
of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure
the wood is seasoned and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood
such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
1. Wearing oven mitts, remove food and cooking grill and
set aside.
2. Stand back a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to lightly
brush aside ashes on hot coals. Use long cooking tongs to add
charcoal and/or wood, being careful not to stir-up ashes and
sparks.
WARNING:
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even
warm coals.
3. When charcoal is burning strong again, place the cooking grill on
charcoal pan.
4. Place food on the cooking grill and allow to cook.
