BEFORE LIGHTING

Choose a Proper Location to Barbecue

• Only use this barbecue outdoors in a well-
ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway, or any other enclosed area.
• Keep the barbecue on a secure, level surface at
all times.
• Do not use the barbecue within five feet (1.5 m) of
any combustible material. Combustible materials
include, but are not limited to, wood or treated
wood decks, patios, and porches.

Choose How Much Charcoal to Use

Choosing charcoal quantity depends on what you
are cooking and the size of your barbecue. If you
are cooking small, tender pieces of food that take
less than 20 minutes, refer to the Measuring &
Adding Charcoal for Direct Heat chart. If you are
intending to barbecue or smoke larger joints of
meat that require 20 minutes or more of cooking
time, or delicate foods, refer to the Measuring
& Adding Charcoal for Indirect Heat chart. Use
the charcoal cup supplied with your barbecue
to measure the appropriate amount of charcoal.
For more details about the difference between
direct and indirect/smoking cooking, refer to the
BARBECUING METHODS sections.

The Very First Time You Barbecue

It is recommended that the barbecue be heated
up and the fuel kept red hot, with the lid on, for at
least 30 minutes prior to cooking for the first time
to burn off any manufacturing residue.

Preparing the Barbecue for Lighting

1. Slide the lid open and hang it on the lid hook.
2. Remove the cooking grate from the barbecue.
The curved handles of the cooking grate allow it
to hang from the side of the bowl (A).
3. Remove the charcoal (bottom) grate and clear
ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the bottom
of the bowl using the ONE-TOUCH cleaning
system. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so
be sure that nothing clogs the vents. Move the
handle back and forth to move ash and debris
from the bottom of the barbecue into the ash
catcher (B).
4. Pinch the leg clips to slide down the legs and
remove the ash catcher (C). Dispose of the ashes
and reinstall the ash catcher by sliding the leg
clips back up the legs into position (D).
5. Open the bowl vents by moving the ONE-TOUCH
damper blade handle to the fully open position (E).
6. Replace charcoal (bottom) grate.
7. Open the lid vents by moving the lid damper to
the fully open position (F).
Note: Instructions for using lighter fluid were purposely
left out of this owner's guide. Lighter fluid is messy and
can transmit a chemical taste to your food, while lighter
cubes (sold separately) do not. If you choose to use lighter
fluid, follow the manufacturer's instructions and NEVER
add lighter fluid to a burning fire.
