Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with
lighter fluid. Use only high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
4. If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s
warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product.
Carefully place 8-10 pounds of hot coals in the charcoal pan.
Proceed to Step 7.
If using charcoal lighting fluid, follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Use charcoal
lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal ONLY. Do not use
gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Place 8-10
pounds of high quality charcoal in charcoal pan.
5. Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid and wait 2 to 3 minutes for
fluid to soak in. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from
smoker.
6. Carefully light the charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a
light ash (approximately 20 minutes) prior to closing door and
placing dome lid on smoker. This will allow charcoal lighting fluid
to burn off.
WARNING:
Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal
lighting fluid in smoker and may result in a flash-fire or
explosion when door is opened or dome lid is removed.
7. Refer to “Flavoring Wood” section of this manual for the
recommended amount of flavoring wood. Use long cooking
tongs to carefully place flavoring wood on top of hot charcoal.
NOTE:
Depending on the weather, a full pan of charcoal will burn
for
5-6 hours.
8. Place the water pan on the lower support brackets. Make sure
water pan is resting securely on notched out step of all three
support brackets.
9. Carefully fill water pan with warm water or marinade to 1" below
the rim. A full pan holds 4 quarts/1 gallon of water and will last
2-3 hours. Do not overfill and allow water to overflow from water
pan.
10. Place a cooking grill on the lower support brackets directly on
top of the water pan. Position the cooking grill so the rim is
resting securely on notched out step of all three support
brackets.
11. Place food on the cooking grill in a single layer with space
between each piece. This will allow smoke and moist heat to
circulate evenly around all pieces.
12. Place the other cooking grill on the upper support brackets.
Position the cooking grill so the rim is resting securely on
notched out step of all three support brackets. Place food on the
cooking grill.
