CHARCOAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHARCOAL SMOKER & GRILL
THESE WARNINGS MUST BE FOLLOWED WHENEVER USING PROPANE.
FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS IN ADDITION TO THE WARNINGS LISTED ON PAGE 1 OF THIS MANUAL.
WARNING
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products will cause
an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting
fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully
read instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to use.
• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20
minutes) prior to placing dome lid on smoker/grill. This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do
this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in smoker and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when
dome lid is removed.
• Do not use self-starting charcoal. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
• Always use a drip pan/ash guard under cooker when using as a charcoal grill or charcoal smoker to protect
surface from heat damage and/or discoloration and to catch ashes, embers and drippings. Place a thin layer of
water in drip pan/ash guard to help extinguish falling ashes and embers. A drip pan/ash guard is designed for use
with a smoker for easy clean up of drippings that can cause discoloration of surface and to catch falling ashes
and embers.
• Do not leave cooker unattended when in use.
• Do not move the smoker when the water pan contains hot liquids.
• Never allow water to completely evaporate from the water pan. Always keep water in water pan even after food is
removed from smoker. Water will evaporate and grease in water pan can catch on fire.
• When opening the dome lid, keep hands, face and body safe from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
• Use extreme caution and follow instructions for adding water to water pan (page 16) to prevent burns.
• Use extreme caution and follow instructions for adding charcoal and wood (page 15).
• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals.
• When grilling or smoking, it is possible for grease from the meat to drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire.
If this should happen, replace dome lid to suffocate the flame.
• Never leave coals and ashes in smoker or grill unattended.
• Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from smoker/grill. Use caution to
protect yourself and property. Place remaining coals and ashes in a noncombustible metal container and
completely saturate with water. Allow ashes and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around the All-In-One to extinguish any ashes, coals
or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
• Keep children and pets away from the All-In-One.
