LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Stack charcoal briquees or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate.
We recommend using 2 lb (1 kg) (approximately 30 briquees) to start your re, adding
more as needed.
• If using starter uid, saturate the charcoal briquees with starter uid and let it soak in for
approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of re
starter, light your re according to the manufacturer’s instrucons.
• Aer allowing the starter uid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquees in several
locaons to ensure an even burn. ALWAYS light the re with the grill lid open. Leave lid open
unl briquees are fully lit. Failure to do so could trap fumes from charcoal starter uid in
grill and may result in a ash re when lid is opened.
• Never add charcoal starter uid to hot or warm coals as ashbacks may occur causing injury.
• You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquees ashes over and produces a red
glow (approximately 12 to 15 minutes).
• Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquees in a pile or spread evenly
across the charcoal grate using a long handle tool. ALWAYS use cauon when handling hot
coals.

25 minutes of grilling me, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables
and fruit.

coal grill to preheat.
• While wearing hand protecon, open the lid and place food onto cooking grids above the hot
coals with a long handle tool.
• With lid open or closed, cook unl desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
• NOTE: If addional briquees are needed, remove food from cooking grid and while wearing
