The hinge prevents the lid from slamming shut, preventing possible injury or damage to the grill.

Lighting charcoal has never been easier with the Snap-Jet gas ignition system. Simply pile charcoal above the burner tube and ignite it with the burner control knob.

Stainless Steel Diffuser Plate:

The versatile hinged diffuser plate plays many roles depending on the type of cooking being done. Comprising of two layers of hinged Stainless Steel the plate can be used to enclose an air gap to aid low and slow smoking as well as stand up to higher temperatures during grilling.

Built-In Thermometer:

The large, durable, built-in lid thermometer allows you to easily monitor your BBQ’s temperature.

The “smoke” zone on the thermometer indicates when the barbecue has reached the ideal temperature for smoking.

Dampers and vents:

A major component in charcoal grilling is air. The more air allowed into the BBQ, the hotter the fire will grow (to a point) causing the charcoal to burn much faster.

The bowl vent on the bottom of the barbecue should be open while grilling or in the smoke position while smoking. The top damper is used to control the temperature within the BBQ; however, should never be completely closed.

Smoking:

Smoking is cooking food at a low temperature, over an extended period of time. This technique is also referred to as the “low and slow method.”

Cooking low and slow keeps the juices and flavor in your food to produce an extremely tender piece of meat. Smoking works great for large cuts of meat such as: brisket, turkey, pork shoulder, ribs, and whole chicken.

Grill Setup For Smoking:

1.- Place fuel grate in the bottom position of the bowl then place the center support ring in the middle position of the bowl.

2.- Pile charcoal on the fuel grate above the tip of the burner tube.

3.- Light the charcoal. Refer to “Burner Ignition - Lighting with Snap-Jet Gas Ignition System.” Note: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal with gas ignition.

4.- Put on barbecue mitts or gloves. With long tongs, add Weber wood chunks or chips to the perimeter of the lit charcoal.

5.- Place the diffuser plate within the center support ring. Note: A disposable drip pan should be placed on the diffuser plate to collect drippings and minimize cleaning time. Add two drip pans when smoking larger pieces of meat.

6.- Place the cooking grate on the top position of the bowl. Note: The hinges on the cooking grate and diffuser plate should line up accordingly to easily add charcoal while smoking.

7.- Close the lid.

8.- Once the barbecude reaches the smoke zone on the thermometer, slide the bowl vent arm to the smoking position rotate the Rapidfire lid damper accordingly to maintain recommended smoke temperature.

9.- Begin cooking. Consult recipe for recommended cooking times.

The hinged RAPIDFIRE lid damper maximizes airflow and increases temperature quickly to get you up and grilling within 20 minutes. It also aids in a quick temperature recovery rate.

Fuel Grate:

The fuel grate has what it takes to withstand the heat of any charcoal fire. Made of heavy-duty steel, this durable grate will not warp or burn through.

The grate can be moved to a higher position in the bowl for grilling and lower position for smoking.

Stainless Steel Wire Basket:

Removable Stainless Steel wire basket is great for storing accessories and grilling tools. Conveniently located under the Stainless Steel table for easy access while grilling.

High Capacity Ash Catcher:

The fully enclosed high capacity ash catcher keeps ashes from blowing around and easily detaches for quick and clean ash removal.
