To maintain the temperature, you may need to add more wood and/or charcoal during the cooking cycle.
NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase the ratio of wood to charcoal to
increase the cooking temperature. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an
excellent fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is seasoned
and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
The amount of food determines the amount of lump charcoal or charcoal briquette to be used. Add
charcoal gradually and observe the grilling/smoking temperature via the temperature gauge. Adding too
much charcoal into the smoker/grill at a time may raise the burning temperature rapidly and cause
damages to the smoker/grill.
Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking
Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.
Step 1
Stand back and carefully open firebox lid/door. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly
comes in contact with fire.
Step 2
Wearing oven mitts/gloves. DO NOT touch by hand.
Step 3
Stand back a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to lightly brush aside ashes on hot coals. Use cooking
tongs to add charcoal and/or wood to charcoal grate, being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks. If necessary,
use your Charcoal Chimney Starter to light additional charcoal and/or wood and add to existing fire.
WARNING
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
AFTER-USE SAFETY
WARNING
Always allow smoker/grill and all components to cool completely before handling.
Never leave coals and ashes in smoker/grill unattended. Make sure coals and ashes are completely extinguished
before removing.
Before smoker/grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from smoker/grill. Use
caution to protect yourself and property. Place remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container
and completely saturate with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
With a garden hose, completely wet surface beneath and around the smoker/grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or
embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
