CHARCOAL and ELECTRIC GRILL

FIRST Remove Smoker Body and Water Bowl For Direct Grilling

1.Place 24 charcoal briquettes in charcoal/ wood bowl and saturate with lighter fluid or use quick start charcoal. Follow charcoal instructions and warnings.

2.If you’ve added lighter fluid to the charcoal, allow fluid to soak 2 minutes before lighting.

3.Light charcoal carefully and allow it to burn down to a light ash.

4.Add one grill rack to base pan, then add your food and cover with the dome lid only when charcoal has turned to a light ash and is no longer on fire.

5.Always use caution when operating your grill. Always wear cooking gloves to remove dome lid. For your safety, always wear shoes when using the smoker.

6.Do not move your smoker unit while it is in use. Allow it to cool completely before handling, moving or storing.

7.Always dispose of coal properly as instructed in warnings for using your charcoal grill and smoker.

8.Open the smoker access door carefully when adding charcoal or wood chips. Use extreme caution and wear cooking gloves because the door is hot.

5 OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED

(Quail, dove, etc.)

 

 

 

 

 

Large game bird

5 - 7 lbs.

IDEAL

8 - 10 lbs. 4 - 5

2 - 3

4 - 5

(Pheasant, duck, goose,

 

 

 

 

180-185°F Well Done

etc.)

 

 

 

 

 

When the outside temperature is cooler than 65°F and

 

 

the altitude is above 3,500 feet, we suggest adding

 

 

more cooking time. (If you are not sure the meal is

 

 

cooked, use a meat thermometer to test the meat.)

 

 

Do not lift your smoker lid during the smoking process

 

 

to check food. This will extend your cooking time due

 

 

to heat escape.

 

 

 

 

 

If you are using only one grill rack, use the upper grill

 

 

rack for better results. If you need to use both grill

 

 

racks place the meat that requires the least cooking

 

 

time on the top grill.

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: When using an electric element, the heat setting

 

 

and cooking time many vary due to wattage and

 

 

temperature change.
