Fire Starters: Break off one or two squares of the fire starters and place them in
the middle of the charcoal mound. Light the starter sticks and once they are lit
place a few charcoal pieces on top of the fire. Let the fire starters burn for about 1
minute before closing the lid. Keep the top and bottom dampers wide open. You
should reach 300-350 degrees within 10 minutes.
Step 6 Once you see the temperature rising, you will want to set the dampers accordingly
to achieve the desired cooking temperatures and desired smoke flavor.
Tip: The bottom draft door controls the temperature and glow of charcoal (hot,
medium, low) while the top damper controls the temperature and smoke flavor. So,
if you open the top damper more, temperature will increase and smoke flavor will
decrease. For someone who does not like the smoke flavor, cooking should be done
with the top damper wide open while controlling the temperature with the bottom
draft door.
Adjust the top damper or slide metal top to about ½ inch open, and the bottom
damper two fingers open. You can now leave the Grill Dome unattended if desired.
While you are gone the Grill Dome will stabilize in the range of 300 to 350 degree
range.
