Step 3
After 20-25 minutes, charcoal should be ready for cooking and/or adding woodchips.
Lighting Instructions for Grilling
Start with at least 4 lbs. (1.8 kgs.) of charcoal (75 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.
Pile the charcoal towards the middle of the 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 char-
coal 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 com-
pletely 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).
Step 3
After 20-25 minutes, charcoal should be ready for grilling. Use heat-resistant gloves or oven mitts
when placing the cooking grates back into the grill. Refer to the next section before adding wood
chips to pre-lit charcoal.
ADDING WOOD CHIPS (BEFORE AND DURING COOKING)
WARNING: Use caution since ames can are-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact
with re. When opening the offset lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot
steam and ame are-ups.
Presoaked Wood Chips
Soak the desired amount of chips in water for 30 minutes. Wrap the wood chips in aluminum foil
and poke holes on the top of the foil wrapping. FOLLOW THE STEPS ON THE NEXT PAGE
BEFORE ADDING PRESOAKED WOOD CHIPS.
