WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the firebox air shutter to prevent
coals from falling out.
Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid 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
Open the firebox air shutter approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack
damper half way. With grill lid 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 lid.
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.
Step 6
With coals burning strong, close the lid and door. 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 firebox air shutter and 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 400°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.
