LIGHTING CHARCOAL

Before lighting charcoal, determine which grilling
method you will be using. Depending on the
model you purchased, your grill may or may not
be equipped with the features described on the
following pages.
Setting Up the Grill for Direct Grilling
Method
Lighting the Charcoal Using a
Chimney Starter
The simplest, most thorough way to light any kind
of charcoal is to use a chimney starter; particularly,
the WEBER RAPIDFIRE chimney starter (sold
separately). Refer to the cautions and warnings
included with the RAPIDFIRE chimney starter
before lighting charcoal.
1. Put a few sheets of crumpled up newspaper in
the bottom of the chimney starter and set the
chimney starter on the charcoal (bottom) grate
(A); or put a few lighter cubes (sold separately)
in the center of the charcoal grate and place the
chimney starter over them (B).
2. Fill the chimney starter with charcoal (C).
3. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes or newspaper through the holes on
the bottom side of the chimney starter (D).
4. Keep the chimney starter in place until the
charcoal is fully lit. You know the charcoal is
fully lit when it is covered with a coating of white
ash.
Note: Lighter cubes must be completely consumed and
the charcoal ashed over before placing food on the
cooking grate. Do not cook before the charcoal has a
coating of ash.
5. Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the
following pages for instructions on how to
arrange your charcoal and begin cooking
according to your desired grilling method.
Lighting the Charcoal Without a Chimney
Starter
1. Build a pyramid of charcoal in the center of
the charcoal (bottom) grate and insert a couple
of lighter cubes (sold separately) within the
pyramid.
2. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes. The lighter cubes will then ignite
the charcoal (E).
3. Wait for the charcoal to fully light. You know
the charcoal is fully lit when it is covered with a
coating of white ash.
Note: Lighter cubes must be completely consumed and
the charcoal ashed over before placing food on the
cooking grate. Do not cook before the charcoal has a
coating of ash.
4. Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the
