lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturers' warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with
approximately 3 to 4 pounds of charcoal. Open the side air vent
approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack damper halfway. When coals are
burning strong, carefully pile hot coals on the left side of charcoal grate.
WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the side air vent to prevent coals
from falling out.
NOTE: To extend the life of your cooker, make sure that hot coals and
wood do not touch the walls of the cooking chamber.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting

manufacturers' warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 3 to 4 pounds of charcoal. Place the charcoal in a
pile on the left side of the charcoal grate in cooking chamber.
