Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes
to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting
fluid safely away from the grill.
Step 4
Open the side air vents approximately half way. With grill lid open,
stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off
prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to
do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill
and may result in a
flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow the temperature to
reach the "IDEAL" range on the heat indicator. Maintain this
temperature for 2 hours.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to the lower portion of the "HOT" range on
the heat indicator . This can be achieved by opening the side air vents
and adding more charcoal and/or wood (see "Adding Charcoal/Wood
During Cooking" section of this manual). Maintain this temperature for
1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or
rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT: To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must
be cured periodically and covered at all times when not in
use. A smoker cover can be ordered directly from
Brinkmann by calling 1-800-468-5252.
YOUR BRINKMANN GRILL KING IS NOW CURED
AND READY FOR USE.
