Smoking
WARNING:
DO NOT store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids, material or charcoal
that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid under or around the grill.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 1.2 kg of hot coals on
charcoal grate.
NOTICE: To avoid heat damage to the paint, do not use more than 1.2 kg
of charcoal/wood in the firebox. Light the charcoal/wood with the
lid open and do not close the lid until flames have gone out (5-10
minutes). When cooking, adjust air vent to minimize flames in
the firebox. Closing the air vent will lower the flames and cooking
temperature.
Step 1
Place a charcoal grate in firebox. Place cooking grills in smoking chamber, then follow
instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as
fuel in the
Mastercook
Smoker (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of
this
manual).
Step 2
Place a tin can (soup can) in the grease cup holder. A tin can must be placed under the
grease hole at all times.
NOTE: We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated
with lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney starter.
Step 3
With firebox lid and smoking chamber lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal
and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). When
charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of firebox charcoal
grate.
WARNING:
Keep hot coals away from the firebox air vent to prevent coals from
falling out.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not
touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 7
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 manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Place 1.2 kg of charcoal
on charcoal grate in firebox.
Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With firebox lid and smoking chamber lid open
wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting
fluid safely away from the smoker.
