Step 1
Place the charcoal grate in firebox, then follow instructions below carefully to
build a fire.
Step 2
Open lid, remove cooking grates and add approximately 2.5 lbs. of charcoal to
charcoal grate. Replace cooking grates and carefully light charcoal.
NOTE:
To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do
not touch the walls of grill.
Step 3
After flames die down and charcoal is covered with a white ash, place food on
cooking grates.
Step 4
Food can be cooked with the lid open or closed. If lid is closed, adjust air
shutter and chimney damper for temperature control.
Step 5
The ideal smoking temperature is between 175°F and 250°F. For large cuts
of meat, allow approximately one hour of cooking time per pound of meat.
Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before
removing from grill.
Step 6
Allow grill to cool completely, then follow instructions in the
“After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.
During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to open lid to check food.
Opening the lid allows heat and smoke to escape, making
ad di tion al cooking time necessary.
If food is excessively browned or flavored with smoke, wrap food in aluminum
foil after the first few hours of smoking. This will allow food to continue
cooking without further browning or smoke flavoring.
