OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING CHARCOAL AND SMOKING WOOD
CHARCOAL

Your CHARCOAL GRILL is made to burn either charcoal briquettes or natural wood lump charcoal

both of which have different cooking attributes. Briquettes typically provide longer burn times 

that  lump  charcoal 

but lump  charcoal burns hotter than briquettes.

Using the charcoal pan access door to add more charcoal makes both briquettes and lump

easy  and convenient for extended cooking times.

SMOKING WOODS

Adding smoking woods to your CHARCOAL GRILL AND SMOKER is an easy and effective way to 

create wonderful  flavor combinations for all types of grilled, barbecued, or slow smoked foods. 

Wood chips are  typically used for shorter cooking times, where chunks are better for longer 

cooking times.

When choosing smoking woods, the rule of thumb is to use a fruited hardwood 

from a tree 

that  bears a nut, fruit, or berry. The most popular and widely available smoking  woods are 

hickory and  mesquite. Hickory imparts a milder  flavor, where mesquite is more intense. Other 

common  wood  varieties are oak, apple, pecan, cherry, etc.

It is important to never use pine, cedar, or kiln dried wood 

and any smoking  woods should 

be  well cured. Green wood still  contains all the sap and moisture needed to keep the tree 

alive,  and will  impart a super strong-tasting smoke that will  turn your foods black. Also, when 

you try  burning green wood, it is hard to reach a good temperature, because all the moisture 

inside the  wood almost puts the fire out while 

it’s 

burning. Well-cured wood lights easily, 

maintains cooking  temperature, and produces a great tasting smoke flavor that 

isn’t 

too

strong.

The amount of smoke flavor imparted to your food can be controlled by not just the type of 

wood  you use (whether a mild  wood or more intense), but also by the length of time the meat 

is smoked.  Barbecuing typically adds more smoke flavor to food than grilling, due to the longer 

cooking times.  You can also control the amount of smoke flavor by wrapping meats in aluminum 

foil for part of the  cooking process. Cook meat for ½ to 2/3 of the total cooking  time, or until it 

looks to be the perfect  color. Then wrap the meat in foil and finish cooking the meat until done.
