WARNING
After a charcoal fire appears extinguished, unconsumed
embers can retain heat for up to 24 hours, and if exposed
to fresh air, can burst into flame unexpectedly. Any such
embers outside the firebox of the grill pose a fire hazard
and can ignite combustible surfaces such as wooden
decks.
CAUTION
For residential use only. Do not use for commercial
cooking.
WARNING
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LIGHTING CHARCOAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING HOT
COALS TO PREVENT INJURY.
ALWAYS LIGHT THE FIRE WITH THE GRILL LID OPEN.
WARNING
Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch
fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on
water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.
Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use
in enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch,
covered patio, or under an overhead structure of
any kind.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR SMOKER

Before cooking with your smoker, the following steps should be closely
followed to both cure the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to
properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart
metallic flavors to your first foods.
1. Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable
cooking oil.
2. Build a small fire on the fire grate or pan, being sure not to lay coals
against the walls.
3. Close door. (Position damper and smokestack damper
approximately at one quarter open.) This burn should be sustained
for at least two hours, the longer the better. Then, begin increasing
temperature by opening the damper and smokestack damper half-
way and adding more charcoal. Your smoker is now ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your smoker. Maintaining a light coat
of vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid in the protection of your unit.
Exterior surfaces of smoker may need occasional touch up. We
recommend the use of a commercially available black high temperature
spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT !

SMOKER MAINTENANCE

Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the grill is used.
Make sure coals are completely extinguished before cleaning inside of
the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using
again. Wipe out the interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towels.
When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out
all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which can lead to
premature rusting and decay. Periodically coating the interior surfaces
with vegetable oil will aid in the protection of your unit. Also, occasional
touch up of the exterior paint will be required. Black, high-temperature
spray paint is recommended. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE
UNIT.
Cooking Surface:
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill
cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces
prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while
grill is hot.

COOKING TIPS

Building Your Fire
1. Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top
of the charcoal grate or ash pan. We recommend using 2 pounds
(approximately 30 briquettes) to start your fire, adding more as
needed.
2. If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid
and let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney
starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Always light the fire with the grill lid open.
Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could
trap fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in grill and may result in a flash
fire when lid is opened.
4. Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks
may occur causing injury.
5. You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes
over and produces a red glow (approximately 12 – 15 minutes).
6. Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a
pile or spread evenly across the charcoal grate using a long-handled
poker.
