5. Grasp the ash sweep handle and move back
and forth until most of the ash is swept into the
ash catcher. Use a hand broom for any leftover
residue in the fire bowl.
6. With your heat resistant ash container handy,
remove the ash catcher from its position and
carefully dump all ashes into a heat resistant
container. Allow it to sit for 24 hours.
PUTTING OUT THE FIRE
ASH REMOVAL
Once cooking is complete, follow these steps to extinguish the fire:
1. Using protective gloves, close the COOKOUT™ lid.
2. Close all vents.
NOTE:
Assume that it will take at least 1 hour for your charcoal to extinguish and your COOKOUT™ to cool down.
There is not an ON or OFF switch for a charcoal fire. Always be cautious about making any assumptions
about when the fire is completely out and completely cool.
WARNING
o Do not store your COOKOUT™ until ash and coals are fully extinguished.
o Allow charcoal to burn out before removing from the COOKOUT™ to avoid a possible fire.
o Never dump hot coals where they might be stepped on or be a fire hazard.
o Never dump ashes or coal before they are fully extinguished.
Remove ash catcher, only after the charcoal has been extinguished and allowed to cool.
TIP:
A pile of ash left in the ash catcher can collect moisture and make cleanup a challenge. Clean the ash catcher
after every use.
1. Ensure that the ash catcher is in position.
2. Ensure that the fire bowl vent is closed.
3. Once you are sure that the ash has cooled,
remove the COOKOUT™ lid, and cooking grate.
4. Sweep all ash and debris from the charcoal grate
into the lower fire bowl. Dispose of any larger
pieces of charcoal.
