Step 1
Place charcoal grate(s) and cooking grills in cooking chamber.
Step 2
Follow instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Trailmaster (see “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Open the air vent
and half air exhaust approximately 1" to 2". Carefully place 8 to 10
pounds of hot coals in center of charcoal grate.
WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the air vent to prevent coals from
falling out.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal
lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline,
kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal.
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the
use of their product. Place 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal in center of
charcoal grate in cooking chamber.
WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with
lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open, wait 2 to 3
minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal
lighting fluid safely away from the grill/smoker.
Step 4
Open the air vent and half air exhaust approximately 1" to 2". With
lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn
until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal
lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing
lid.
WARNING: Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting
fluid in grill/smoker and may result in a flash-fire or
explosion when lid is opened.
Step 5
With coals burning well, carefully add wood chunks using long
cooking tongs (see “Flavoring Wood” and “Adding Charcoal/Wood
During Cooking” sections of this manual.)
Step 6
Place food on cooking grills in the cooking chamber.
