OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting Instructions (Continued)
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.
Make sure the access tray is pushed back into the firebox 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).
Step 3
After 20-25 minutes, charcoal should be ready for cooking and/or adding woodchips.
ADDING WOOD CHIPS (BEFORE AND DURING COOKING)
WARNING: Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact
with fire. When opening the offset lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot
steam and flame flare-ups.
Presoaked Wood Chips
Soak the desired amount of chips in water for 30 minutes. Wrap the wood chips in aluminum foil
and poke holes on the top of the foil wrapping. FOLLOW THE STEPS ON THE NEXT PAGE
BEFORE ADDING PRESOAKED WOOD CHIPS.
