LIGHTING
FOR SMOKING / INDIRECT COOKING (USING
SMALL CHAMBER AS FIRE BOX)
Step 1:
Set the Roto Draft™ intake and exhaust dampers to
position 5 (wide open) to let the maximum amount of air in
to fuel the fire.
When preheating your smoker, open the internal damper
completely using the included multi-tool (Item# KA5527).
As you approach your target temperature lower the internal
damper using multi-tool to just below the level of the smoke
diffusers. This will push the majority of the hot air and
smoke below the diffuser trays for even smoking.
Step 2:
Open the lid on the small cook box, remove the cooking
grids using the grid lifter provided (Item # 60750), and fill
the tray with roughly 4 lbs. of hardwood lump charcoal.
As you become more familiar with the Broil King® Smoke™
Offset Smoker, you will get a feel for how much charcoal
you need for various cook times and temperatures.
Step 3: Lighting
If using starter sticks, light them and place into the top of
the charcoal bed at two or three locations.
If using a stainless steel chimney starter, fill the Broil
King® Charcoal Chimney Starter (Item # 63980) with
charcoal. Fill the bottom of the chimney starter with one or
two pieces of newspaper. Place the chimney starter on
the charcoal grate in the fire box. Once charcoal is lit, add
carefully to the charcoal tray on top of unlit charcoal.
Placing burning charcoal closer to the intake damper will
encourage the fire to burn evenly through the burn
chamber.
Step 4:
Allow the charcoal to
ignite with the fire door
open until charcoal is
aflame.
Step 5:
Adjust dampers to
achieve desired
temperature - Start
closing dampers 50
degrees before target
temperature.
