OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING THE FIRE
Open the hood of your CHARCOAL GRILL AND SMOKER, as well as all of the butterfly dampers.
Remove the cooking grates. Add charcoal. Do not put more than 3 Kg of charcoal briquettes or
lump charcoal into the pan. Lower the adjustable charcoal pan to its lowest setting
– use charcoal lighters to start the fire, following directions supplied by the manufacturer of the
fire lighters.
Allow the charcoal enough time to completely ash over before beginning to cook, so that the
lighter fluid has enough time to burn off. Starting to cook too soon can leave your food tasting
like lighter fluid. After ash-over is complete, use long-handled tongs to spread the charcoal into a
single layer on the pan.
Chimney starters, electric starters, or other types of fire starters may be used instead of lighter
fluid to light the fire – but only according to those manufacturers’ instructions. When using
charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid open until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. 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.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
Allow enough time for properly building the fire and getting the grill up to desired temperature
before attempting to cook. You simply cannot cook properly in a cold grill, nor can you nurse a
fire to life while busy with the food. Both deserve your best! Once a fire is burning happily, it is
easy to keep it going with just a little attention. You will be pleased at how long your CHARCOAL
GRILL AND SMOKER will burn on a little charcoal.
Rising heat will move up and out of the grill, pulling in cooler air behind it, which provides
oxygen for the fire. Your CHARCOAL GRILL has butterfly dampers that control airflow, which
lets you fine tune the temperature.
NOTE: Dampers will become very hot after lighting the charcoal - be sure to wear insulated grill
mitt during adjustment.
After the fire is established and the grill reaches the desired cooking temperature, the
butterfly dampers can be left completely open, providing maximum airflow for a higher
temperature or closed as needed to decrease airflow for a lower temperature.
Use the color-coded temperature gauge to monitor the grill temperature.
Fully opening the upper chimney on one side and fully opening the opposite lower damper
(closing the remaining damper) will create a convection effect inside the grill when hood is
closed. This will allow for extended cooking times when Smoking.
The adjustable charcoal grate can also be used to control the temperature.
Raise it to its highest setting for quick searing and lower it to its lowest setting for slow cooking.
