Operation Instructions - Dyna-Glo SIGNATURE Serie Mode D'emploi

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.
It is important to "season" your grill and smoker, prior to cooking food. Seasoning seals the
paint and interior of your smoker to enhance flavoring, durability and overall performance.
To season your grill and smoker, simply use it as you normally would without adding food. You will
need to follow all of the lighting and operating procedures in the next few sections of this manual.
Seasoning the Grill
Using the recommended amount of charcoal (listed below), burn the grill for at least 30-45 minutes.
Seasoning the Offset Smoker Box
Using your desired flavoring woods and marinades, along with the recommended amount of charcoal (listed
below), burn your smoker at low temperature (around 175°F/79.4°C) for 45 – 60 minutes.
Allow the smoker to completely cool before cleaning out the wood chips and charcoal.
Lighting Instructions for Cooking with Offset Smoker
DO NOT USE PRETREATED, MATCH-LIGHT CHARCOAL with this smoker. Only use standard,
untreated briquettes or lump charcoal and ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal.
Do not use lighter fluid, paint thinners, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for
lighting charcoal. Damage to the unit may occur with the use of match-light charcoal.
Start with at least 2 lbs. (.91 kgs.) of charcoal (35-40 standard briquettes).
Make adjustments as needed when cooking in colder climates or during high winds, and/or when fair
amounts of precipitation are present.
Step 1
Note: Please refer to the manufacturer's recommended amount of charcoal lighter fluid before
applying fluid to the briquettes. Charcoal can be added to the offset firebox by removing the offset
cooking grates or pulling out the side access tray. Pile the charcoal towards the middle of the offset
charcoal grate. Briquettes should be packed closely together for maximum burn efficiency. Saturate
charcoal with the amount of charcoal lighter fluid as recommended by the charcoal lighter fluid
manufacturer. After soaking the charcoal, place the charcoal lighter fluid at a safe distance away from
the smoker. Allow the charcoal lighter fluid to soak into the charcoal for 3 minutes before lighting.
Step 2
With primary grill lid and offset lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn
until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighter fluid must be allowed to
completely burn off prior to closing the primary firebox door and offset lid. (Fumes will tend to
collect in both fireboxes, when both lids are closed).
