coal pan. Proceed to Step 6.
If using charcoal lighting fluid, follow all manufacturer's warnings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Use charcoal lighting
fluid approved for lighting charcoal ONLY. Do not use gasoline,
kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Place 5-6 pounds of high
quality charcoal in charcoal pan.
3. Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid and wait 2 to 3 minutes for fluid
to soak in. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from smoker.
4. Carefully light the charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light
ash (approximately 20 minutes) prior to placing dome lid on smoker.

fluid in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when
dome lid is removed.

WARNING: When grilling, drippings from meat may cause flame flare-
up. Use extreme caution when removing the dome lid. Lift
dome lid by tilting it toward you to allow heat and flame to
escape away from your face. If flame flare-ups occur,
replace the dome lid to smother flame. Do not use water to
extinguish a grease fire.
