OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.

It is important to "season" your grill and smoker, prior to cooking food. Seasoning seals the

paint and interior of your smoker to enhance flavoring, durability and overall performance.

To season your grill and smoker, 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.

Seasoning the Grill

Using the recommended amount of charcoal (listed below), burn the grill for at least 30-45 minutes.

Seasoning the Offset Smoker Box

Using your desired flavoring woods and marinades, along with the recommended amount of charcoal (listed

below), burn your smoker at low temperature (around 175°F/79.4°C) for 45 – 60 minutes.

Allow the smoker to completely cool before cleaning out the wood chips and charcoal.

Lighting Instructions for Cooking with Offset Smoker

DO NOT USE PRETREATED, MATCH-LIGHT CHARCOAL with this smoker. Only use standard,

untreated briquettes or lump charcoal and ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal.

Do not use lighter fluid, paint thinners, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for

lighting charcoal. Damage to the unit may occur with the use of match-light charcoal.

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 offset firebox by removing the offset

cooking grates or pulling out the side access tray. Pile the charcoal towards the middle of the offset

charcoal grate. Briquettes should be packed closely together for maximum burn efficiency. Saturate

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.

Step 2

With primary grill lid and offset lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn

until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighter fluid must be allowed to

completely burn off prior to closing the primary firebox door and offset lid. (Fumes will tend to

collect in both fireboxes, when both lids are closed).
