USING YOUR GRILL
Page 8
1. Remove the cooking grid.
2. If you have charcoal left in the grill from the previous re, stir it around enough to knock the ash down
through the grate. This will allow better air ow for a quicker start. The remaining charcoal is good to use
again.
3. Pour lump charcoal into the rebox until it covers the series of round holes in the rebox. (see Fig.13)
You may ll it to the top of the rebox if you need to cook or smoke for more than three hours.
Starting the Fire
4. If you are using a combustible re-starter, nestle it down into the charcoal. You may place re starters
in more than one spot in the charcoal if you want to get the whole area burning more quickly for high
temperature grilling and searing. You may stack some charcoal around the starter to speed up the
process. Be sure to leave enough air space around the stacked charcoal for the air and ame or it will not
burn properly. Now light the starter. Fig.13
5. If you are using an electric re-starter, nestle it down into the charcoal so it is resting on the charcoal just
above the grate. The charcoal should envelop the lower half of the starter element. Plug in the starter
and let it operate for no more than 8 minutes.
6. Unplug and remove the starter within 8 minutes to avoid damaging the starter. You do not have to leave
the starter in longer as the re will continue to increase after removing it. Fig.14
7. Replace the cooking grid and close the grill. Swing the chimney top damper fully open until the grill is
up to your desired temperature.
8. When the grill has reached your desired cooking temperature, adjust the top and bottom damper for the
desired temperatures as seen on next page.
9. When you are nished cooking, close the Top and Bottom Air Controls to snu the re out. This will
preserve any remaining coals for the next use.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE LIGHTER FLUID INSIDE THIS GRILL! IT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Not only does lighter uid create a bad smell in the neighborhood and on your food, but it is not good for the ceramics
in your grill.
Note:
You may close the air controls before the food is done as it will hold the heat for a long time and allow the food to
nish cooking.
