Step 1
Make sure heat shield and charcoal grate are in place at bottom of
cooking chamber.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Smoke’N Pit Grill King (see
“Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING:
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with
lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturers’ warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 5 to 6
pounds of charcoal. Open the side air vent approximately 1" to 2" and
smokestack damper halfway. When coals are burning strong, carefully
place hot coals in center of charcoal grate. Using long cooking tongs,
carefully spread the hot coals evenly over the charcoal grate.
WARNING:
Keep hot coals away from the side air vent to prevent coals
from falling out.
NOTE:
To extend the life of your cooker, make sure that hot coals and
wood do not touch the walls of the cooking chamber.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting
fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene,
alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all
manufacturers’ warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 5 to 6 pounds of charcoal. Place the charcoal in
center of charcoal grate.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid and wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow
lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely
away from cooker.
Step 4
Fully open side air vent and smokestack damper. With lid open, stand
back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a
light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid must be
allowed to completely burn off prior to closing lid.
WARNING:
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.
