LIGHTING CHARCOAL

Setting Up the Barbecue for Indirect

Barbecuing Method
When using the indirect barbecuing method, you
have the option to spread the coals directly on the
charcoal (bottom) grate on opposite sides of the
bowl, or make use of the WEBER CHAR-BASKETS.
 Avoid positioning charcoal next to the lid and
bowl handles or directly beneath the thermometer
and lid damper.
 When using the CHAR-BASKETS, they must first
be placed into the bowl of the barbecue on the
charcoal (bottom) grate before lighting the charcoal.
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 the 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 CHAR-BASKETS if they are being
used (F); or put a few lighter cubes in the centre
of the charcoal (bottom) grate and place the
chimney starter over them (G).
2. Fill the chimney starter with charcoal (H).
3. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes or newspaper through the holes
on the bottom side of the chimney starter (I).
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 instructions on how to
arrange your charcoal and begin cooking
according to your desired barbecuing method.
Lighting the Charcoal Without a
Chimney Starter
 Avoid positioning charcoal next to the lid and
bowl handles or directly beneath the thermometer
and lid damper.
 When using the CHAR-BASKETS, they must first
be placed into the bowl of the barbecue before
lighting the charcoal.
1. Place CHAR-BASKETS on the charcoal (bottom)
grate on opposite sides of the bowl.
2. Fill each CHAR-BASKET with your choice of
charcoal (J).
3. Insert a couple of lighter cubes (sold separately)
within the charcoal.
Note: Be sure to slightly bury them at the top of the
charcoal briquettes.
4. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes (K). The lighter cubes will then
ignite the charcoal.
5. Wait for the charcoal to fully light. 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.
6. Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the
following pages for instructions on how to
