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.
