WARNING
Charcoal lighter fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20
minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in grill and may result in a
flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow the temperature to reach 107°C (225°F) on the
temperature gauge. Maintain this temperature for 2 hours.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to 205°C (400°F) on the temperature gauge. This can be achieved by adding
more charcoal and/or wood (see
“Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
Maintain this temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or rubbed during the curing
process.
IMPORTANT: to protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be cured periodically and
covered at all times when not in use.

1.
Begin with three full sheets of newspaper.
2.
Take 2 sheets of newspaper and roll each into a tube shape and then give them a little twist to form
each of them into a straight rope like shape. Be careful to not twist too tight.
3.
Turn the charcoal chimney starter over and place both pieces of rolled and twisted newspaper
along the inside bottom of the charcoal chimney starter to form a complete circle. Leave a hole in
the middle of the charcoal chimney starter with no paper in it.
4.
Crumple up the third sheet of newspaper into a ball. Be careful to not crumple too tight. Sprinkle
about 1 table spoon of cooking oil on the ball of newspaper. You can also use a few sprits of
cooking oil from a spray can. Don’t use too much oil. Place the ball of cooking-oiled newspaper
in the centre of the charcoal chimney starter.
5.
Flip the chimney over and add charcoal. Take care so that the newspaper does not fall out.
6.
Use a match or long lighter to light the paper.
7.
Stand back and watch the charcoal chimney starter do its stuff.

After charcoal has turned an ash gray color, carefully pour the charcoal onto your grill’s fire grate.
NOTE: to extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
