Additional charcoal may be required to maintain or
increase cooking temperature.
Step 1 - Stand back and carefully lift off the BBQ lid.
Use caution since flames can flare-up when natural
air suddenly comes in contact with fire.
Step 2 - Wearing heat resistant BBQ gloves, lift up
the hinged cooking grate’s side flaps to access the
charcoal. DO NOT touch the grate by hand.
Step 3 - Stand back at a safe distance and use
long charcoal tongs to lightly brush aside ashes on
hot coals. Use charcoal tongs to add charcoal to
charcoal grates, being careful not to stir-up ashes
and sparks. If necessary, use your Charcoal Chimney
Starter to light additional charcoal and add to
existing fire.
Warning: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot
or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
Step 4 - Once the charcoal has been added, carefully
lower the side flaps of the cooking grate wearing
BBQ gloves. Check the surrounding area for any hot
coals, ash, or embers which may have fallen from
the BBQ. Be sure to safety extinguish these before
continuing to cook.
