LIGHTING CHARCOAL
Lighting the Charcoal Without a Chimney
Starter
 Avoid positioning charcoal next to the bowl
handles or directly beneath the thermometer
and lid damper.
1. Place the charcoal on opposite sides of the bowl
(A).
2. 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.
3. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes (B). The lighter cubes will then
ignite the charcoal.
4. 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.
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 grilling method.
