OPERATING YOUR GRILL
Lighting your grill
1. Make sure lid and vents all are open.
2. Remove the cooking grid. Pile 2-3 pounds of charcoal in the
center of the charcoal grid, and shape into a pyramid. (See
figure 1.)
3. If you are using regular charcoal and intend to use
lighter fluid, apply fluid according to the instructions on the
container. Allow lighter fluid to soak in for approximately 1
minute before carefully lighting. If you are using an
electric fire starter, do not add any lighter fluid, and light
charcoal according to the instructions from the manufacturer
of the fire starter. If you are using instant-light charcoal,
do not use any extra lighting methods, carefully light
charcoal.
4. Allow charcoal to burn for approximately 15-20 minutes, or
until all coals are lightly coated in gray ash.
Cooking styles
1. Direct grilling: When the coals have ashed over, using a
long-handled cooking utencil and wearing protective
cooking mits, spread the coals evenly over the charcoal grid.
Place the cookoing grid back onto the grill and arrange food
on cooking grid. You can cook food with lid open or closed.
(See figure 2.)
2. Indirect grilling: When the coals have ashed over, using a
long-handled cooking utencil and wearing protective cooking
mits, arrange charcoal in a donut shape, leaving an open
space in the center. In the center opening, put a small drip
pan (not included) to catch drippings. Place food on the
cooking grid directly above the drip pan. Cook with lid open
or closed. (See figure 3.)
3. Smoking: soak any fragrant wood chips in water over night
so they will not burn when you put them on the charcoal.
After spreading the coals per the direct cooking method,
above, place wood chips on charcoal. Cook with lid closed
and cooking grid, if adjustable, set to it’s highest (away from
coals) setting.
Figure 1:
Pile 2-3 pounds of charcoal in the center of the
charcoal grid to light.
Figure 2:
To cook directly, spread the coals evenly over the
charcoal grid after they ash over.
Figure 3:
To cook indirectly, put a small drip pan in the
center of the grill, surrounded by charcoal, and
place meat cirectly above the drip pan.

General Helpful Hints for Successful Charcoal
cooking
1. Store your charcoal in a dry place. If storing outside, seal
charcoal in a waterproof container.
2. When removing lid during cooking, if your lid is not hinged,
lift to one side instead of straight up. As lifting straight up will
create a vacuum within the grill sucking up the ash into the
food.
3. When cleaning your grill DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, for
it will damage the parts of this product. Clean all grids and
pans with mild detergent. Rinse clean with water. Remove all
ash and dispose properly.
