Grilling In Firebox
Step 1
Remove cooking grills from firebox and set aside. Place charcoal grate in bottom
of firebox.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/
or wood as fuel in the Trailmaster (see "Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking"
section of this manual).
NOTE:
We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated with
lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney starter.
WARNING:
DO NOT store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids, material or
charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid under or around
the grill.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer's warn ings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 3.5 pounds of hot
coals on charcoal grate.
Step 3
With firebox lid and cooking chamber door open, stand back and carefully light
charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20
minutes). When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of
firebox charcoal grate.
NOTE:
To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do
not touch the walls of firebox.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 8
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal light ing fluid
approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other
flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer's warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 3.5 pounds of
charcoal. Place the charcoal in center of cooking chamber charcoal grate.
Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With firebox lid and cooking chamber door
open wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store
charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.
Step 5
Open the firebox air shutter approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack damper half
way. With firebox lid and cooking chamber door open, stand back and carefully light
charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (ap prox i mate ly 20 minutes).
WARNING:
Charcoal light ing fluid must be allowed to com plete ly burn off prior
to closing firebox lid and cooking chamber door (approximately 20
minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting
fluid in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is
opened.
