21OPERATION INSTRUCTIONSIt is strongly recommended to pre burn your grill prior to your first use. By lighting a SMALLcharcoal fire to simulate the cooking process, you will burn off any residues or oils created duringthe manufacturing process. This will also cure and harden the high temperature finish. This is aonce only process.LIGHTING A FIREOpen the hood of your TEXAS SMOKER, as well as all of the butterfly dampers.Remove the cooking grates. Add charcoal. Do not put more than 3 kilogrammes ofcharcoal briquettes or 1.5 kilogrammes of lump charcoal into the pan. Do not letburning charcoal or wood come in contact with the walls of the grill (keep fuelapproximately 50 mm away from the ash pan edge). Use firelighters to start the fire,following directions on the packet.Allow the charcoal enough time to completely ash over before beginning to cook, sothat the firelighters have enough time to burn off. Starting to cook too soon can leaveyour food tasting like firelighters. After ash over is complete, use long-handled tongsto spread the charcoal into a single layer on the grate.Chimney starters, electric starters, or other types of fire starters may be used insteadof lighter fluid to light the fire – but only according to those manufacturers’ instructions.Never use instant light charcoal or charcoal lighter fluid with any of these otherstarting methods.CONTROLLING A FIREAllow enough time for properly building the fire and getting the TEXAS SMOKER upto desired temperature before attempting to cook.Rising heat will move up and out of the unit, pulling in cooler air behind it, whichprovides more oxygen for the fire. Your TEXAS SMOKER has two butterfly dampersthat control airflow, which lets you fine tune the temperature. NOTE: Dampers willbecome very hot after lighting the charcoal - be sure to wear insulated grill mittsduring adjustment.After the fire is established and the unit reaches the desired cooking temperature, thebutterfly dampers can be left completely open, providing maximum airflow for a highertemperature or closed as needed to decrease airflow for a lower temperature. Use theheat indicator to monitor the temperature.Half opening the damper on the stack and half opening the damper on the smokerside panel will create a convection effect inside the grill when the hood is closed.This will allow for extended cooking times when Indirect Cooking. |
