OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.
It is important to "season" your grill, prior to cooking food. Seasoning seals the paint and interior of
your smoker to enhance flavoring, durability and overall performance. To season your grill, simply use
it as you normally would without adding food. You will need to follow all of the lighting and operating
procedures in the next few sections of this manual.
Seasoning the Grill
Using the recommended amount of charcoal (listed below), burn the grill for at least 30-45 minutes.
Lighting Instructions
Start with at least 4 lbs. (1.8 kgs.) of charcoal (75 standard briquettes).
Make adjustments as needed when cooking in colder climates or during high winds, and/or when fair
amounts of precipitation are present.
Step 1
Note: Please refer to the manufacturer's recommended amount of charcoal lighter fluid before
applying fluid to the briquettes. Charcoal can be added to the grill by removing the cooking grates.
Pile the charcoal towards the middle of the charcoal grate. Briquettes should be packed closely
together for maximum burn efficiency. Saturate charcoal with the amount of charcoal lighter fluid as
recommended by the charcoal lighter fluid manufacturer. After soaking the charcoal, place the char-
coal lighter fluid at a safe distance away from the grill. Allow the charcoal lighter fluid to soak into the
charcoal for 3 minutes before lighting.
Step 2
With lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20-25 minutes). Charcoal lighter fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to
closing the lid. (Fumes will tend to collect in both fireboxes, when both lids are closed).
Step 3
After 20-25 minutes, charcoal should be ready for grilling. Use heat-resistant gloves or oven mitts
when placing the cooking grates back into the grill.
WARNING: Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact
with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and
flame flare-ups.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may
occur causing severe burns.
Allow the ashes to completely cool before reusing or cleaning the grill or smoker.
