Instructions / Assembly

Step 1
Place a charcoal grate in firebox. Place cooking grills in cooking chamber, then follow
instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as
fuel in the Trailmaster (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this
manual).
Step 2
Place the grease cup on the grease cup holder. The grease cup must be placed under
the grease hole at all times.
NOTE: We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated
with lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney starter.
WARNING: DO NOT store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids, material or charcoal
that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid under or around the grill.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warn ings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 3.5 pounds of hot coals on
charcoal grate.
Step 3
With firebox lid and cooking chamber lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal
and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). When
charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of firebox charcoal
grate.
WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the firebox air shutter to prevent coals from
falling out.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not
touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 7
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal
lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene,
alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the
use of their product. Place 3.5 pounds of charcoal on charcoal grate
in firebox.
Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With firebox lid and cooking chamber door open
wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting
fluid safely away from the smoker.
