WARNING
• Only use this cooker on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of
the cooker. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.
• DO NOT use cooker without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot coals.
• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the cooker and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or
construction should be maintained at all times when cooker is in use. Do not place cooker under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.
• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Do not operate cooker indoors or in an enclosed area.
• For household use only. Do not use this cooker for other than its intended purpose.
• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose
to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away
from cooker.
• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with firebox lid open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20
minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in
cooker and may result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion
possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
• Place cooker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when
cooker is in use.
• Do not leave cooker unattended when in use.
• When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking”
section of this manual.
• Do not store or use cooker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
Cooker is hot when in use. To avoid burns:
