COOKING TIPS

CHARCOAL
• You may need to add additional charcoal during cooking to increase the temperature.
Follow the instructions and warnings in the charcoal smoking and grilling section.
• Dry, hard woods will burn hotter than charcoal so you may want to increase the ratio of
wood to charcoal.
• Always wear cooking gloves when removing smoker dome lid and use long cooking tongs
when adding charcoal or wood, being careful not to stir up ashes.
NOTE: NEVER ADD LIGHTER FLUID TO HOT OR WARM COALS! NEVER USE
CHARCOAL AS AN INDOOR HEATING FUEL!
OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED
