Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes
to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting
fluid safely away from the grill.
Step 4
With grill lid and door open, stand back and carefully light charcoal
through the door. Allow to burn until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off
prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to
do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill
and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is
opened.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves or oven mitts when adjusting door
handle, ash tray or cooking height.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the lid and door. Allow the
temperature to reach 225° on the heat indicator. Maintain this
temperature for 2 hours.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to 400° on the heat indicator . This can be
achieved by adding more charcoal and/or wood (see “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual). Maintain this
temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or
rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT: To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must
be cured periodically and covered at all times when not in
use. A smoker cover can be ordered directly from
Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252.
