Operating Instructions
Grilling In Smoking Chamber
Step 1
Remove cooking grills from firebox and set aside. Place charcoal grate in bottom
of smoking chamber.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/
or wood as fuel in the
Mastrcook
Horizontal Smoker (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During
Cooking” section of this manual).
NOTE: We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter
fluid or a charcoal chimney starter.
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 2.5 kg of hot
coals on charcoal grate.
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.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do
not touch the walls of firebox.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 8
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. Start with 2.5 kg of
charcoal. Place the charcoal in center of cooking chamber charcoal grate.
Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With firebox lid and cooking chamber lid
open wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store
charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.
Step 5
Open the firebox air vent approximately 2 cm to 5 cm and smoke stack damper
half way. 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).
WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior
to closing firebox lid and cooking chamber lid (approximately 20
minutes). 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.
