Traditional Charcoal Lighting Instructions
1. To start a charcoal re, place up to 3 lbs. (approx. 50-60 briquettes) of charcoal in the Flavor
Drawer™, divided equally between each of the 3 Wood Product Zones. Do not place briquettes in
the space on the far edges of the drawer (see illustration on page C-5).
2. Place a re starter in each Wood Product Zone.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or
similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
3. Close Flavor Drawer™, open the grill hood and light re starter in each Wood Product Zone with
extended reach lighter.
4. Once the briquettes ash over or turn gray, open drawer and spread them out. If necessary, use
tongs to move coals for even heat.
5. Close the drawer and begin cooking.
Finishing Up
When you are nished charcoal grilling, make sure all gas burner knobs and the gas cylinder are turned
off and close the hood. Wait until coals and ash have completely cooled before attempting to clean up
or remove. Be patient. This may take an hour or more.
Emptying the Ashes and Grease & Ash Pan:
** ONLY EMPTY ASHES ONCE GRILL IS NOT IN USE AND COOL TO THE TOUCH **
** DO NOT EMPTY ASHES DURING GRILL USE OR WHEN GRILL IS HOT **
Wait until after the re is completely extinguished and the grill is cool to the touch before emptying the
ashes to ensure they are not still hot and a burn hazard.
1. Knock any ashes that did not fall into the Grease & Ash Pan from the Flavor Valleys by opening and
closing the Flavor Drawer™ several times.
2. Tap the sides of the Grease & Ash Pan to knock loose any ash.
3. Remove the Grease & Ash Cup from the bottom of the Grease & Ash Tray.
4. Dump the ashes from the Grease & Ash Cup in a metal container and cover with water to ensure
there are no lit coals.
5. Remove the Grease & Ash Tray and set the Grease & Ash Cover to the side.
6. Dump the ashes from the Grease & Ash Tray in a metal container and cover with water to ensure
there are no lit coals.
7. Reinstall the Grease & Ash Tray, Cover and Cup on the grill.
IMPORTANT: Charcoal absorbs and retains moisture when not in use. DO NOT leave charcoal in
your grill while you are not using it. Charcoal and ashes left inside the ash pan may reduce the
life of your grill.
