1. For best results use Landmann Fire Starter or a metal
charcoal starter. Fill the starter with about 3 lbs of
charcoal and light the charcoal.
2. After 30 minutes, dump the charcoal into the bottom of
the Cooking Chamber on the charcoal grate, which should
be at the lowest adjustment.
3. Adjust the Cooking Chamber vents to 1/4 to 1/3 open.
4. Immediately and carefully place another 3 lbs of charcoal
on top of the burning coals in the Cooking Chamber.
5. Wait another 30 minutes for the charcoal to set and reach
optimum burn temperature.
6. When the optimum temperature of 350 degrees is reached,
Meat and food can now be added to the cooking grate
in the Cooking Chamber.
Follow these steps for cooking with charcoal and direct
heat in the Cooking Chamber.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The adjustable charcoal grate in the Cooking Chamber
allows the charcoal grate to be moved to within a few
inches of the cooking grate allowing you to sear your
meat and lock in the juices. Searing takes only a few
minutes on each side. Don't allow the meat or food to
burn. After searing, crank the charcoal grate back to the
bottomandcookthefoodtoyourpersonalpreference.

STEP 1: Lightly coat ALL INTERIOR surfaces of the Cooking Chamber and lid with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
!
STEP 2: Start your first fire with 3-6 lbs of charcoal in the Cooking Chamber. Adjust the vent dampers to 1/2 open.
STEP 3: Maintain the fire for 1 hour, try to keep the temperature around 300 degrees. After 1 hour, allow the grill to cool completely.
Note: It is important not to scrape or rub any surface during the curing process.

7. OPTIONAL: If preferred, wood chunks can be added to the
fire at this time for flavor and smoke. The smoke will be heavy
at first and after a short while will burn with less smoke. The
temperature will spike when the wood is first added. When
the temperature settles back down in the 350 degree range,
you are ready to add meat or food to the Cooking Chamber.
As a general rule, you will need to add more wood when the
temperature drops below 250 degrees.
8. Cook meat and food to your personal preference.
STEP 10: INSTALL LID ON COOKING CHAMBER
Place the lid onto the cooking chamber aligning the lid
with the smoker chamber tubes on the backside. Carefully
remove the set screws from the hinge pin. Insert the lid
hinge pin into the tubes making sure the pin is inserted as
far as it will go. Install set screws back into the pin and
tighten securely. The hinge pin also acts as the lid stop. INSERT
