are set on either side of the food. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and
inside surfaces of the barbecue, and circulates to slowly cook the food
evenly on all sides. There's no need to turn the food over.
NOTE: For meats that require more than one hour to cook, additional
charcoal must be added to each side as indicated in the chart below.
1. Open all vents.
2. Use the charcoal cup (C) supplied with your grill to measure the
appropriate amount of charcoal to use (refer to the chart below).
Place the recommended amount of charcoal on each side of
the charcoal grate or pile the charcoal into a Weber
chimney starter.
3. Ignite the charcoal. Leave the lid off until the charcoal has a light
coating of gray ash, about 25 to 30 minutes. (When using the
Weber RapidFire chimney starter to light your charcoal, close

the grills bottom aluminum vents before pouring hot charcoal onto

each side of the charcoal grate. Do not forget to open the vents just

5. Position the cooking grate over the coals.
6. Place food on the cooking grate directly above the drip pan.
7. Place the lid on the barbecue. Consult the barbecuing guide in this
booklet for recommended cooking times.
