Note: If additional briquettes are needed, remove food from cooking grid and, while wearing protective gloves, remove the cooking grid and place additional briquettes without disturbing the hot coals. Carefully replace cooking grid and food.
7. Allow charcoal to burn out by closing lid and all vents. Except in the case of an emergency, do NOT pour water on hot coals.
