START-UP & SAFETY CHECKS –Building your Fire
Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule for knowing when your coals
are ready for grilling is to make sure that 80 percent or more of the coals are ashy g ray. If you
have less than that, the coals are not ready, and if all of them are glowing red hot, the fire is
probably too hot.
Building a charcoal fire maybe accomplished by sliding open either the left or right side drawer. The
charcoal base should be built in the bottom tray. While the upper height adjustable tray is used for raising
the heat, higher or lower using your choice of grilling fuel, like wood logs or briskets.
Stack match light type of coals in center of charcoal pan. Light and let burn until coals are light white color.
Spread coals and adjust cooking height by turning crank handle.
Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the temperature of your fire:
If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire less intense.
Raise or lower the adjustable charcoal grate.
Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
Use the indirect grilling method, with coals to either side of a drip pan and the food over the
pan rather than directly over the coals.
In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a squirt bottle. Be
careful, spraying with water tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.
Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash
over before adding more.
Always use caution when handling hot coals to prevent injury
CAUTION: Always add the majority of the Charcoal Base to Upper Height Adjustable Burn Tray,
too much Charcoal added to Lower Burn Tray of Drawer may cause warping to drawer track and make
it more difficult to open and close tightly drawer system.
