PREPARATION FOR USE
& LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
PLACE THE GRILL OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE
AWAY FROM ROOF OVERHANG OR ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. NEVER USE ON WOODEN OR OTHER SURFACES THAT
COULD BURN. PLACE THE GRILL AWAY FROM OPEN WINDOWS OR DOORS TO PREVENT SMOKE FROM ENTERING YOUR
HOUSE. IN WINDY WEATHER, PLACE THE GRILL IN AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM THE WIND.
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.
Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Smoke’N Pit, follow the instruc-
tions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will minimize
damage to the exterior finish as well as rid the grill of paint odor that can
impart unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared on your Brinkmann
Smoke’N Pit.
IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be
properly cured and covered at all times when not in use. A
cover for your Smoke’N Pit may be ordered directly from
Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252.
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the Smoke’N Pit including cooking
grills with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal
grates or charcoal tray.
Step 2
Place a tin can on the grease cup holder. A tin can must be placed
under the grease hole at all times.
Step 3
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Smoke’N Pit (see “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter
fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood
mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10
pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with,
once the curing process has been completed. When charcoal is
burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of each charcoal
grate.
WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT
attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot
coals.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and
wood do not touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 6
Start with 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal
to cook with once the curing process has been completed. Open the
firebox air shutter approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack damper
halfway. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place the hot coals
in center of charcoal grate in firebox.
