Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With smoker box door open wait
2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store
charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the smoker.
Step 4
With smoker box door open, stand back and carefully light charcoal.
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 smoker box door (approximately 20
minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal
lighting fluid in smoker box and may result in a flash-fire or
explosion when door is opened.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the smoker box door. Allow the
charcoal to burn uninterrupted for 2 hours.
Step 6
Increase the temperature on the heat indicator. This can be achieved
by adjusting the air vent dampers or by adding more charcoal and/or
charcoal/wood mixture (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking”
section of this manual). Maintain the fire for 1 hour then allow unit to
cool completely.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the smoker 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 cover can be ordered directly from Brinkmann by
calling 1-800-468-5252.
