Step 1
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use a
high quality charcoal as fuel in the Grill (see “Adding Charcoal During
Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter
fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10
pounds of charcoal. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place
hot coals in center of charcoal grate.
WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash cup in place. DO
NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash cup while cup
contains hot coals.
Note: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and
wood do not touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 4
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. Start with 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal . Place the charcoal in
center of charcoal grate.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to
burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely
burn off prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20
minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from
charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash-
fire or explosion when lid is opened.
Step 4
Place cooking grill on grill support lip. Use charcoal grate adjuster knob
to position charcoal grate to desired cooking level.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves or oven mitts when adjusting
cooking grill or charcoal height.
