LIGHTING PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: The outside ambient temperature, weather conditions, and quality of charcoal briquettes will all affect
your cooking temperature. Observe the time it takes to reach your desired temperature, and adjust your cooking time
as needed.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the Charcoal Ash Tray is correctly in place during lighting and anytime during use.
1. Open the charcoal grill lid and remove the cooking grids.
2. Place charcoal briquettes into the charcoal box, on top of the airflow plate. This creates space between the fan and the
fuel for airflow. Add some lighter cubes, or solid firelighters, to assist with lighting the charcoal briquettes.
3. Light the lighter cubes using a long-nosed lighter or safety matches. Once it has caught, wait about 10 minutes to allow
all charcoal briquettes to light. Fully open the Air Damper located on the front of the unit on to maximum.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not stoke or turn the charcoal once they are alight. This allows the
charcoals to burn more uniformly and efficiently.
4. After 10 minutes, replace the cooking grids, and close the charcoal grill lid. Monitor the temperature on the charcoal grill
lid and allow the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the height of the Charcoal Tray to the highest
level. Check the Air Damper on the front of the unit and the Smoke Stack Lid, and leave the airflow vents fully open.
Charcoal requires oxygen to burn.
5. After preheating is complete, you are ready to enjoy your charcoal grill at your desired temperature! Adjust Air Damper
on the front of the unit and the Smoke Stack Lid to promote more or less airflow through the Charcoal Grill Chamber.

REFUELLING THE CHARCOAL

If you require a longer cooking time (e.g. when roasting a whole cut or slow-smoking), it may be necessary to add more charcoal.
1. Open the Charcoal Grill Chamber lid carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside.
Using heat-resistant gloves or cooking mitts, remove the cooking grids to expose the Charcoal Tray.
IMPORTANT: The grill will become very hot, and serious injury may occur. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times.
2. Carefully, using long-handled tongs, add new charcoal briquettes to the Charcoal Tray. Open the Air Dampers and the
Smoke Stack Lid to maximum to promote more airflow through the Charcoal Grill Chamber to light the new charcoal
briquettes.
3. Once the new charcoal briquettes have lit, replace the cooking grids, and continue use.

EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE

1. Stop adding fuel to the Charcoal Tray.
2. Completely close all Air Dampers and the Smoke Stack Lid to stop airflow through the Charcoal Grill Chamber and allow
the fire to die out naturally.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the charcoal grill.
