COOKING WITH CHARCOAL
ON YOUR GAS GRILL
A Napoleon Exclusive! Still want the convenience of gas, but long for that charcoal avor? No problem! Napoleon’s
charcoal tray lights easily with your gas burner. No need for lighter uid!
The optional charcoal tray gives you the freedom to switch from gas to charcoal with relative ease. Simply replace
your sear plates with the charcoal tray, ll with charcoal and light using your gas burners. Replace your cooking grids
and now you’re charcoal grilling!
Before you begin to use your charcoal tray, you will need to determine how much charcoal you are going to need.
Approximately one layer for burgers or steaks and two layers for roasts or chicken. Pour enough charcoal into
the tray to make the layers needed. Light the gas burner(s) directly under the charcoal tray and burn on
high until the charcoal is glowing red and then turn off the gas burner(s). Let coals burn until all coals
are white on the surface. With a long handle instrument, spread the coals evenly across the tray.
Enjoy that delicious smoked meat avor at home with your own grill and a few pointers from Napoleon. When
using gas grills, it’s best to put presoaked wood chips in our smoker tube, available at Napoleon grill retailers.
This keeps your grill from lling up with ashes and clogging the jets. If you are using a charcoal tray, then you
can either put the wood directly on the preheated coals or place them in the wood chip chamber in the tray.
Fill the stainless steel smoker tube with wood chips. Submerge in water for at least half an hour. Place the smoker
tube over the left burner and turn it on. Place your meat over the right burner, but do not turn on the burner. You are
using the indirect smoking cooking method.
Smoke the meat for several hours under a closed lid. To achieve maximum avor, add fresh, pre-soaked wood chips several
times during the cooking process or use two tubes.
