Vent-a-Hood 812-3450-0 (Hickory) - Manual (Page 11)

Step 1
With charcoal tray adjusters attached to the charcoal tray, place
charcoal grate on charcoal tray and lower inside cooking chamber.
Step 2
Follow instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use
charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Grill King (see “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with
lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Open the side air
vents approximately halfway. Carefully place 5 to 6 pounds of hot coals
for Grill King Deluxe (2 to 3 pounds for Grill King) on left side of
charcoal grate.
WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the side air vent 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 or lay inside of cooking
chamber under charcoal tray.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5
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 5 to 6 pounds of charcoal for Grill King
Deluxe (2 to 3 pounds for Grill King) on left side of charcoal grate.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes
to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid
safely away from the grill.
Step 4
Open the side air vents approximately half way. With grill lid open,
stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid
must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid.
WARNING: Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting
fluid in grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when
lid is opened.
