SETUP
Lighting Instructions
- Take the Backyard Pro briquette charcoal chimney starter (sold separately) and place it in the grill after removing the grill grates.
- Next, load crumpled newspaper into the bottom of the starter.
- Fill the top chamber with up to 5 lb. of charcoal.
- Once filled, use the bottom vent holes to light the paper.
- After about 20 minutes, your briquettes will be lit and can be poured out evenly into the grill.
Note: Startup time may differ depending on conditions.
To light grill without chimney starter, first remove the grill grates. Next,
pile your briquettes in the middle of the grill. Coat briquettes in lighter
fluid. Recommended amount is approximately 1/4 cup of fluid per pound of
charcoal.
Warning: Using too much lighter fluid can be dangerous and alter food
taste. Follow directions provided on the bottle of lighter fluid to avoid
injury.
Note: Always add lighter fluid to charcoal before attempting to light the
charcoal. Do not add lighter fluid to open flame.
Finally, about 30 seconds after adding lighter fluid, light charcoal with a
match or lighter. Charcoal briquettes will take around 15-20 minutes to fully
catch fire. Move briquettes around carefully with grilling tongs to ensure
each one catches properly. Once charcoal is ready, spread out evenly in the
grill.
