Setting Up the Grill for Indirect
Grilling Method
When using the indirect grilling method, spread
the coals directly on the charcoal (bottom) grate on
opposite sides of the bowl,
 Avoid positioning charcoal next to the bowl
handles or directly beneath the thermometer and
lid damper.
Lighting the Charcoal Using a
ChimneyStarter
The simplest, most thorough way to light any kind
of charcoal is to use a chimney starter; particularly,
the WEBER RAPIDFIRE chimney starter (sold
separately). Refer to the cautions and warnings
included with the RAPIDFIRE chimney starter
before lighting charcoal.
1. Put a few sheets of crumpled up newspaper in
the bottom of the chimney starter and set the
chimney starter on the charcoal (bottom) grate
(A); or put a few lighter cubes in the center
of the charcoal (bottom) grate and place the
chimney starter over them (B).
2. Fill the chimney starter with charcoal (C).
3. Using a long lighter or matchstick, light the
lighter cubes or newspaper through the holes on
the bottom side of the chimney starter(D).
4. Keep the chimney starter in place until the
charcoal is fully lit. You know the charcoal is
fully lit when it is covered with a coating of white
ash.
Note: Lighter cubes must be completely consumed and
the charcoal ashed over before placing food on the
cooking grate. Do not cook before the charcoal has a
coating of ash.
5. Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the
following pages for instructions on how to
arrange your charcoal and begin cooking
according to your desired grilling method.
