Indirect Grilling : When the charcoal is covered with ash, use a long-handled cooking utensil and protective cooking
mitts to arrange
the charcoal in a donut shape. Leave an open space in the center. Place a small drip pan (not included) in the center of
the charcoal to catch the drippings.
3.
Smoking : Soak any fragrant wood chips in water overnight so they will not burn when placed on the charcoal. After
spreading the charcoal, according to direct cooking method above, place wood chips on top of the charcoal. Cook with
lid closed and the cooking grid, if adjustable, set to its highest setting.
Helpful Hints

Store charcoal in a dry place. If storing outside, seal the charcoal in a waterproof container.

During cooking, if the lid is not hinged, lift it to one side instead of staright up. Lifting the lid straight up could create a
vaccum within the grill that could suck ash into the food.
3.
When cleaning the grill, DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. It could damage parts of the grill. Clean the grids and pans
with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with water. Remove and dispose of ash properly.
