Pour charcoal one layer deep on charcoal grill. Heap charcoal in center of grill. Ignite

them one layer deep again. Put cooking grill in place on the top bracket. Place meat on the
cooking grill. Cover smoker. All vents should be wide open.
This method of cooking is used for fast cooking of flat meats. Food is cooked on one side
