LIGHTING CHARCOAL
Setting Up the Grill for Indirect
Grilling Method
When using the indirect grilling method, you have
the option to spread the coals directly on the
charcoal (bottom) grate on opposite sides of the
bowl, or make use of WEBER CHAR-BASKETS (sold
separately). Some grill models will not include
CHAR-BASKETS.
 Avoid positioning charcoal next to the bowl
handles or directly beneath the thermometer and
lid damper.
 When using the CHAR-BASKETS, they must first
be placed into the bowl of the grill on the charcoal
(bottom) grate before lighting the charcoal.
Lighting the Charcoal Using a
Chimney Starter
The simplest, most thorough way to light any kind
of charcoal is to use a chimney starter; particularly,
the WEBER RAPIDFIRE chimney starter (sold
separately). Refer to the cautions and warnings
included with the RAPIDFIRE chimney starter
before lighting charcoal.
1. Put a few sheets of crumpled up newspaper
in the bottom of the chimney starter and set
the chimney starter on the charcoal (bottom)
grate between the CHAR-BASKETS if they are
being used (A); or put a few lighter cubes (sold
separately) in the center of the charcoal (bottom)
grate and place the chimney starter over them
(B).
2. Fill the chimney starter with charcoal (C).
3. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes or newspaper through the holes on
the bottom side of the chimney starter (D).
4. Keep the chimney starter in place until the
charcoal is fully lit. You know the charcoal is
fully lit when it is covered with a coating of white
ash.
Note: Lighter cubes must be completely consumed and
the charcoal ashed over before placing food on the
cooking grate. Do not cook before the charcoal has a
coating of ash.
5. Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the
following pages for instructions on how to
arrange your charcoal and begin cooking
according to your desired grilling method.
Lighting the Charcoal Without a Chimney
Starter
 Avoid positioning charcoal next to the bowl
handles or directly beneath the thermometer and
lid damper.
 When using the CHAR-BASKETS, they must first
be placed into the bowl of the grill on the charcoal
(bottom) grate before lighting the charcoal.
1. Place CHAR-BASKETS on the charcoal (bottom)
grate on opposite sides of the bowl (E).
2. Fill each CHAR-BASKET with your choice of
charcoal. Avoid positioning charcoal next
to the bowl handles or directly beneath the
thermometer and lid damper.
3. Insert a couple of lighter cubes (sold separately)
within the charcoal.
Note: Be sure to slightly bury them at the top of the
charcoal briquettes.
4. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes (F). The lighter cubes will then
ignite the charcoal.

the charcoal is fully lit when it is covered with a
coating of white ash.
Note: Lighter cubes must be completely consumed and
the charcoal ashed over before placing food on the
cooking grate. Do not cook before the charcoal has a
coating of ash.
