NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of
grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting
charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable materials for lighting charcoal.
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 3.9 pounds
(1.8 kg) of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been
completed. Place the charcoal in the center of the charcoal grid.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open, wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into
charcoal.
Store lighting fluid a safe distance from the grill.
Step 4
With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal. Allow to burn until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes).
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow charcoal to burn for 2 hours. Your grill is now cured.
WARNING
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid
(approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in
grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be cured periodically and
covered at all times when not in use.
