Setting Up the Barbecue for Indirect

Barbecuing Method

When using the indirect barbecuing method, you
have the option to spread the coals directly onto
the charcoal (bottom) grate on opposite sides of
the bowl, or make use of the WEBER charcoal rails.
When using the charcoal rails, they must first
be hooked onto the charcoal (bottom) grate on
opposite sides of the bowl before lighting the
charcoal (A).
Avoid positioning charcoal next to the lid and bowl
handles or directly beneath the thermometer and
lid damper (B).

Lighting the Charcoal Using a
Chimney Starter
The simplest, most thorough way to light any kind
of charcoal is to use a chimney starter; particularly,
the WEBER RAPIDFIRE chimney starter (sold
separately). Refer to the cautions and warnings
included with the RAPIDFIRE chimney starter
before lighting charcoal.
1. Put a few sheets of crumpled up newspaper in
the bottom of the chimney starter and set the
chimney starter on the charcoal (bottom) grate
between the charcoal rails if they are being
used (C); or put a few lighter cubes in the centre
of the charcoal (bottom) grate and place the
chimney starter over them (D).
2. Fill the chimney starter with charcoal (E).
3. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes or newspaper through the holes
on the bottom side of the chimney starter (F).
4. Keep the chimney starter in place until the
charcoal is fully lit. You know the charcoal is
fully lit when it is covered with a coating of
white ash.
Note: Lighter cubes must be completely consumed and
the charcoal ashed over before placing food on the
cooking grate. Do not cook before the charcoal has a
coating of ash.
5. Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the
following pages for cooking instructions
according to your desired barbecuing method.
