Parts Included With Your Cooker

Unpacking 1. Remove cooker from box. 2. Remove all parts within the cooker in order to remove any styrofoam

or cardboard packaging. (See Figure 1) 3. After removing all packaging materials, replace parts inside unit as

shown on the next page, beginning at the bottom and going up.

NOTE: Upon first opening and examining your cooker, some hairline cracks and powder residue may be found in the ceramic fire box. These are common and normal characteristics of a ceramic product.

Lighting Your Cooker 1. Open the dome until it locks in place and remove the cooking rack. 2. Crumple 1-2 double-wide newspaper sheets and place them on the

ceramic fire grate. Place 2-3 hand fulls of natural lump charcoal (not briquettes) on top of the newspaper. Lump charcoal lights easily with a little newspaper and does not contain fillers or additives and gives the food a natural charbroiled taste. After cooking, the remaining charcoal can be extinguished by closing the dampers and reused again.

3. Open the bottom draft door COMPLETELY. Light the newspaper in several places. After newspaper starts to burn, close the dome by pulling on the dome handle. Open the slide metal top COMPLETELY. The air flow will help light the charcoal. If preferred, you can use an electric starter, or charcoal starter. DO NOT use lighter fluid.

4. Check the thermometer often during the heat-up of the cooker. (Dampers open during heat-up). When the temperature approaches the desired setting, adjust the top and bottom dampers to set the temperature. Start with the dampers open 1/4 to 1/2 and adjust as required. To lower the temperature, close dampers. To raise the temperature, open the dampers. Readjust dampers to maintain desired temperature.

5. When the temperature is set, put your food on. After a few times using the cooker, you will be able to control the temperature easily. When you finish cooking, completely close the bottom draft door and the slide metal top. This will extinguish the remaining charcoals and allow you to use it again.

6. Since your cooker uses ceramic materials, it holds the heat better and longer. Due to this, if the cooker gets too hot it may take longer to lower the temperature. Therefore, when cooking it is very important to constantly adjust the dampers to control the air flow. If you continue to have problems with the cooker becoming too hot, you may want to reduce the amount of charcoal being used.

7. For the best cooking results, use a meat thermometer when cooking large pieces of meat such as beef, ham, turkey, whole chickens, etc. The use of a meat themometer will allow you to determine if the meat is cooked properly and safely.
