Cooking” section of this manual to avoid injury while adding wood.
Regulating Heat
To increase heat, add more wood and/or charcoal. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking”
section of this manual.
To maintain the temperature, you may need to add more wood and/or charcoal during the cooking cycle.
NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase the ratio of wood to charcoal to increase
the cooking temperature. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent fuel
because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is seasoned and dry. DO NOT
use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
The amount of food determines the amount of lump charcoal or charcoal briquette to be used. Add charcoal
gradually and observe the grilling temperature via the temperature gauge. Adding too much charcoal into the
grill at a time may raise the burning temperature rapidly and cause damages to the grill.
Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking
Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.
Step 1
Stand back and carefully open grill lid. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact
with fire.
Step 2
Wearing oven mitts/gloves to take out charcoal grate and place it on a clean and non-combustible surface. DO NOT
touch the charcoal grate by hand.
Step 3
Stand back a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to lightly brush aside ashes on hot coals. Use cooking tongs to
add charcoal and/or wood to charcoal grate, being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks. If necessary, use your
Charcoal Chimney Starter to light additional charcoal and/or wood and add to existing fire.
WARNING
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
Step 4
When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves and carefully the return charcoal grate to grill body.
Extinguish any hot ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen from the grill or beneath and around grill.
