Shutting Down
Remove all food products from the Tallboy. Set the damper on the Turbo Draft Fan fully closed
(or remove the Turbo Draft Fan and replace it with a kill plug or draft regulator plug.) Close
all or the dampers on the Tallboy’s door. Close the Firebox lids. The fire should die within 30 to
45 minutes. You can accelerate the process by spraying the charcoal with water. Do this a little at
a time using a spay bottle rather than a hose.
If you need to shut the cooker down more rapidly, remove the Firebox and dump its contents in
a proper ash receptacle.
You can also spray the charcoal with water a little at a time and then dry the charcoal in the sun
to save fuel for the next cook. Hint: you can always add damp charcoal to a firebox of fresh hot
burning charcoal.
Note: During cooking, you can use the above spray method to reduce temperature quickly.
Always empty the firebox before transporting your cooker.
Caution: If you are going to transport charcoal that you have “put out” you must put it in a
covered and sealed metal container other than the firebox, even though it is wet. For example
use the Guru Pit Tender Pale. See our web site for details.
