We recommend the use of a charcoal chimney starter to avoid the dangers associated with
charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for
lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal
lighting fluid and charcoal packaging prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid
safely away from smoker.
When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with smoker lid open until covered with
a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. 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.

products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
