Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lids open wait 2 to 3
minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal
lighting fluid safely away from the grill.
Step 5
With grill lids open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow
to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to
closing grill lids.
WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off
prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to
do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill
and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is
opened.
WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the firebox air shutter to prevent
coals from falling out.
Step 6
With coals burning strong, close the lids. Allow the temperature to
reach 250°F on heat indicator. Maintain this temperature for 2 hours.
Step 7
Increase the temperature to approximately to 400°F. This can be
achieved by opening the smokestack damper and adding more
charcoal and/or wood (see "Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking"
section of this manual). Maintain this temperature for 1 hour then
allow unit to cool completely.
NOTE:
Never exceed a temperature of 450°F in cooking chamber. It
is important that the exterior of the smoker is not scraped or
rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT: To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must
be cured periodically and covered at all times when not in
use. A smoker cover can be ordered directly from
Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252.
