and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10
pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with,
once the curing process has been completed. When charcoal is
burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of 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.

fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene,
alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal . This should be enough
charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed.
Place the charcoal in center of charcoal grate.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes
to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid
safely away from the grill.
Step 4
With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to
burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING:
Charcoal lighting 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 lighting fluid in grill
and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
