Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid
WARNING:
(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.
Note: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
If using pre-treated charcoal, follow all manufacturer's warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 2 - 22 pounds (0.9 kg. - 1.13 kg.) of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook
with once the curing process has been completed.
6. With grill 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
charcoal grate.
7. With coals burning strong, close the lid. Maintain this temperature for 2 hours.
8. Increase the temperature. This can be achieved by opening the air shutters and adding more charcoal
and/or wood (see "Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking" on page 6 of this manual). Maintain this
temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.
Note: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of grill.
Note: It is important that the exterior of the smoker is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.
