“Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s
warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product.
Open the firebox air vent approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack
damper halfway. Carefully place 8 to 10 pounds of hot coals in
center of charcoal grate in firebox.
WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the firebox air vent to prevent
coals from falling out.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal
lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline,
kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting
charcoal. Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions
regarding the use of their product. Place 8 to 10 pounds of
charcoal in center of charcoal grate in firebox.
WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter
fluid as a flash may occur. This will cause charcoal to
burn hot enough to damage paint finish. Use only a high
grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
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 smoker.
Step 4
Open the firebox air vent approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack
damper half way. With firebox lid open, stand back and carefully
light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid must be
allowed to completely burn off prior to closing firebox lid.
WARNING: Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting
fluid in smoker and may result in a flash-fire or
explosion when lid is opened.
