OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Place the grill outdoors on a hard, level, non-combustible surface away from roof overhang or
any combustible material. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn. Place the
grill away from open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering your house. In windy
weather, place the grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating your grill.
Lighting Instructions
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).
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer
’s warnings and instructions
regarding the use of their product. Start with 4lbs (1.8kgs) of charcoal. When charcoal is burning
strong, carefully place hot coals in center of each charcoal grate.
Instruction for reference only:
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 center 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.
8.
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.
IF USING LIGHTER CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 4.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use a product 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
