If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer's warn ings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 5 to 6 pounds of

process has been completed. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully
place hot coals in center of charcoal grate.
WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT
attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot
coals.

not touch the walls of grill.

6 pounds of charcoal . This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once
