thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing from
grill.

Regulating Heat
To increase heat, more charcoal may be needed or an adjustment to
charcoal height. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal During
Cooking” section of this manual.
To maintain the temperature, more charcoal may need to be added or an
adjustment may be necessary during the cooking cycle to charcoal
height.
Additional charcoal or an adjustment to the charcoal height may be
necessary to maintain or increase cooking temperature.
Step 1
Stand back and carefully open grill lid. Use caution since flames can
flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves or oven mitts when adjusting
cooking grill or charcoal grate height.
Step 2
Use charcoal grate adjuster knob to place charcoal grate at the lowest
level of cooking chamber. Remove the food from cooking grill, then
remove the cooking grill.

Stand back a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to lightly brush
aside ashes on hot coals. Use cooking tongs to add charcoal to charcoal
grate, being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks. If necessary, use
your Charcoal Chimney Starter to light additional charcoal and add to
existing fire.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm
coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
Step 4
When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves to
replace cooking grill and food, then carefully return charcoal grate to
