SMOKING
Step 1
Remove center divider, and then follow instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or
wood as fuel in the grill (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING
DO NOT use grill 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 grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 4
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 materials for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer’s
warnings and instructions regarding the use of their products. Place 5 to 6 pounds (2.3 to 2.7 kg) of charcoal on left
side 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 a safe distance from the grill.
Step 3
With grill lid and doors 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 grill lid
and doors. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash–fire or
explosion when lid is opened. (Proceed to Step 5)
