Grilling Instructions

Option 1 - Grill: Direct Cooking
CAUTION
• Always check to make sure the smoker/grill is free of debris and ash before using it. Always use a
meat thermometer to ensure food is cooked to a safe temperature.
Cooking directly over hot coals is ideal for searing in juices and grilling food requiring less than 25
minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables and fruit.
1. Remove lid, cooking grates and water bowl. Set aside.
2. Unlock and remove smoker body. Set aside.
3. Make sure ash pan is empty and secure.
4. Start with approximately 30 standard charcoal briquettes (1.6 lbs / 0.7 kgs). Colder climates
may require more charcoal. DO NOT FILL PAST THE TOP OF THE PAN. (Figure 1, Page 15)
5. Light per instructions on fuel package. Leave lid off.
6. Allow fuel to burn into glowing coals before cooking.
7. While wearing protective gloves, carefully remove the smoker lid. Make sure to open the lid
away from you. This will allow the steam to escape away from you.
8. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals evenly around charcoal grate with
a long handled tool.
9. While wearing protective gloves place grate on the lower support brackets, place lid and allow
grill to preheat.
10. While wearing protective gloves open lid and place food onto cooking grate above the hot
coals with long handled tongs.
11. Allow charcoal to burn out by closing the lid, side access door and all dampers. Except in the
case of an emergency, do NOT pour water on hot coals.
WARNING:
• Never add lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing serious injury or
damage to property.
CAUTION:
• When using a liquid starter always check ash pan before lighting. Fluid can collect in the ash pan
and could ignite resulting in a fire below the pan.
