Lighting Method Two, Empty Charcoal Chute (Alternate):
1. Follow steps one through six for “Before Lighting Your Smoker.”
2. Close the fire door to keep charcoal from spilling out.
3.
Place a small amount of charcoal (about 1/2 pound) in a charcoal chimney starter. Follow the chimney
starter instructions to get the charcoal started. Once all of the coals are glowing, carefully pour the lit
charcoal into the empty charcoal chute.
4.
Load unlit charcoal on top of the burning charcoal already in the chute. Load enough charcoal for
this smoking session. Seven pounds of charcoal (a full load) will run for up to 16 hours with the pit
temperature set to 225°F.
5. Close the charcoal chute door and check for a good seal all the way around.
6. Check to make sure nothing is on the floor of the cabinet in front of the fire chamber that might keep
the fire door from sealing properly, then close the fire door.
7. Confirm the computer is set and connected properly, and the ball valve, blower damper and chimney
damper are all fully open. Pre-heat for one hour.
Some people prefer to shut the smoker down after cooking by snuffing the fire, especially if they use their
smoker frequently. Snuffing the fire will preserve most of the unburned charcoal in the charcoal chute. To snuff
the fire after the food is done, turn off the pit computer, close the ball valve, close the chimney damper, and
make sure the fire door, pit door and chimney chute door are all tightly sealed.
If you snuff the fire, leaving charcoal in the chute, then the charcoal will have to be lit from below without the
aid of newspaper as described in the recommended method. For this, a propane plumber’s torch is required.
We strongly recommend using the Bernzomatic TS4000 Trigger Start Torch with a 14.1 ounce standard
propane fuel cylinder. These are available at most large hardware stores. The TS4000 features a reliable trigger
start and a button to keep the flame on without having to continue holding in the trigger.
Lighting Method Three, Full Charcoal Chute:
1. Follow steps one through six for “Before Lighting Your Smoker.”
2. Close the fire door to keep charcoal from spilling out.
3.
Top off the charcoal load as needed. Leave the charcoal chute door open.
4.
Open the fire door.
5. Use a plumber’s torch to start the charcoal. Aim the torch flame into the space above the fire grate
and below the top of the door opening (see drawing on next page). 45 seconds on the left side of the
opening, followed by 45 seconds toward the right side of the opening should be enough to start a dry
load of charcoal.
6.
Check to make sure nothing is on the floor of the cabinet in front of the fire chamber that might keep
the fire door from sealing properly, then close the fire door.
7.
Confirm the computer is set and connected properly, and the ball valve, blower damper and chimney
damper are all fully open. The blower should be blowing.
8. Let the fire start like this, with the fire door closed, blower blowing and charcoal chute door open, for 5
minutes.
9. Close the charcoal chute door and check for a good seal all the way around.
10. Pre-heat for one hour.
