LIGHTING YOUR ALFRESCO KAMADO GRILL  

Fire Starter Cubes are one of the quickest ways to start your grill. They are odorless, 
smokeless and environmentally safe. Each cube burns up to 1300°F for 8-12 minutes to 

ensure that you’re ready to cook in 15 minutes.

 

CHARCOAL & AIR FLOW 

1.  Build a mound of charcoal that starts just below the holes in the side of the fire box with 

the peak of the mound just below the top of the fire ring. 

2.  Build the mound with large chunks at the bottom and smaller ones as you build it.  

Dumping charcoal directly into the fire box will allow small pieces to block the air holes in 
the fire grate, which can prevent you from reaching grilling and searing temperatures. 

3.  Charcoal can be relit 2-3 times for multiple cooking sessions. Stir the used charcoal, so 

the ashes will drop through the fire grate. Add 1/3 new charcoal to the existing charcoal 
and build a new mound. This works well for roasting and grill temperatures. A full fire box 
of only fresh charcoal is recommended for smoking and searing temperatures. 

Charcoal Tip: 

You can’t have too much charcoal, but you can have too little.

 

LIGHTING  

1.  Light the charcoal with a fire starter cube or two, chimney starter, electric starter or other 

method. 

2.  Open the air intake door and leave the dome up. 

3.  Wait 8-10 minutes for the charcoal to build a small bed of embers. 

4.  Close the dome, open the top vent fully and adjust the air flow as needed as you near the 

target temperature. 

Lighting Tip: 

Never use lighter fluid or any other combustible liquid. 

CAUTIONS  

Do not use lighter fluid, gas or other combustible liquids. Liquid chemicals are a fire hazard 
and they will impregnate the ceramic material and impart an undesirable taste to food. 

Do not use “Instant Light” briquettes. It will impart an undesirable taste.

 

Do not use briquette charcoal. This type of charcoal cannot reach temperatures above 500°F 
and it does not offer true charcoal flavor.
