Grilling/Searing
Step 1
Follow the 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
Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow “Operating Instruction Step 4” or follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product.
Start with 5 to 6 pounds (2.3 to 2.7 kg) of charcoal. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in
center of each charcoal grate.
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 product. Start with 8 to 10 pounds (3.6 to 4.5 kg) of charcoal.
Place the charcoal in center of each charcoal grate.
Step 2
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid and doors 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). (Proceed to Step 5)
WARNING
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid and doors (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 lid is opened.
Step 4
Place lump or briquette charcoal on top of grate in chimney starter until full. Underneath grate place balled up
paper and light with match or lighter thru holes in bottom of chimney sides. Once paper lights, fire will spread up
thru charcoal until entire column is glowing red in the bottom with ash formation on top. Pick up by handle and pour
lit charcoal into grill.
Step 5
Place cooking grid on grill support lips. Use charcoal grate handle adjuster to position charcoal grates to desired
cooking level.
