OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.
It is important to "season" your grill, prior to cooking food. Seasoning seals the paint and interior of
your grill to enhance flavoring, durability and overall performance. To season your grill, simply use
it as you normally would without adding food. You will need to follow all of the lighting and operating
procedures in the next few sections of this manual.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Start with at least 2 lbs. (.91 kgs.) of charcoal (35-40 standard briquettes).
Make adjustments as needed when cooking in colder climates or during high winds, and/or when fair
amounts of precipitation are present.
Step 1
Note: Please refer to the manufacturer's recommended amount of charcoal lighter fluid before
applying fluid to the briquettes. Charcoal can be added to the grill by removing the cooking grates or
by pulling out the side access tray. Pile the charcoal in the middle of the charcoal grate. Briquettes
should be packed closely together for maximum burn efficiency. Saturate the charcoal with the
amount of charcoal lighter fluid as recommended by the charcoal lighter fluid manufacturer. After
soaking the charcoal, place the charcoal lighter fluid at a safe distance away from the smoker. Allow
the charcoal lighter fluid to soak into the charcoal for 3 minutes before lighting. Make sure the access
tray is pushed back into the firebox before lighting.
Step 2
With the grill lid open, stand back and carefully light the charcoal and allow it to burn until it is covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). The charcoal lighter fluid must be allowed to completely
burn off prior to closing the primary grill lid and offset lid. (Fumes will tend to collect in both fireboxes,
when both lids are closed). Open both side dampers to allow airflow during the lighting process.
Step 3
After appropriately 20-25 minutes, the charcoal should be ready for grilling. Use heat-resistant gloves
or oven mitts when placing the cooking grates back into the grill.
DO NOT USE PRETREATED, MATCH-LIGHT CHARCOAL. Damage to the unit may occur with the
use of match-light charcoal.
WARNING: Use caution since the flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in
contact with the fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body away from the hot steam
and flame flare-ups.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as a flashback
may occur, causing severe burns.
