or charcoal.
• Always light the unit with chimney damper in the
wide-open position.
• Open the air control damper on the firebox to the
wide-open position.

contaminate the unit and dramatically affect the taste
of your food. DO NOT use any type of accelerant
during lighting (liquid, solid or otherwise).
• With the lid open and using a chimney style charcoal
lighter, place the chimney lighter in the vertical
position over top of the grill.
• Once the charcoal in chimney lighter has become
sufficiently ignited, dump the hot coals into the
firebox.

ensuring that the fire is no higher than the grill
support brackets. Once ignited, close drawer and lid.
