OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.
It is important to "season" your grill, prior to cooking food. Seasoning seals the paint and interior of
your grill to enhance avoring, durability and overall performance. To season your grill, simply use
it as you normally would without adding food. You will need to follow all of the lighting and operating
procedures in the next few sections of this manual.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Start with at least 2 lbs. (.91 kgs.) of charcoal (35-40 standard briquettes).
Make adjustments as needed when cooking in colder climates or during high winds, and/or when fair
amounts of precipitation are present.
Step 1
Note: Please refer to the manufacturer's recommended amount of charcoal lighter uid before
applying uid to the briquettes. Charcoal can be added to the grill by removing the cooking grates or
by pulling out the side access tray. Pile the charcoal in the middle of the charcoal grate. Briquettes
should be packed closely together for maximum burn efciency. Saturate the charcoal with the
amount of charcoal lighter uid as recommended by the charcoal lighter uid manufacturer. After
soaking the charcoal, place the charcoal lighter uid at a safe distance away from the smoker. Allow
the charcoal lighter uid to soak into the charcoal for 3 minutes before lighting. Make sure the access
tray is pushed back into the rebox before lighting.
Step 2
With the grill lid open, stand back and carefully light the charcoal and allow it to burn until it is covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). The charcoal lighter uid must be allowed to completely
burn off prior to closing the primary grill lid and offset lid. (Fumes will tend to collect in both reboxes,
when both lids are closed). Open both side dampers to allow airow during the lighting process.
Step 3
After appropriately 20-25 minutes, the charcoal should be ready for grilling. Use heat-resistant gloves
or oven mitts when placing the cooking grates back into the grill.
DO NOT USE PRETREATED, MATCH-LIGHT CHARCOAL. Damage to the unit may occur with the
use of match-light charcoal.
WARNING: Use caution since the ames can are-up when fresh air suddenly comes in
contact with the re. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body away from the hot steam
and ame are-ups.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting uid to hot or even warm coals as a ashback
may occur, causing severe burns.
