4.1 Lighting Charcoal
- Arrange Charcoal: Place charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal on the charcoal grate. For direct grilling, spread evenly. For indirect grilling, arrange charcoal on one side or in a ring.
- Use a Chimney Starter (Recommended): Fill a charcoal chimney starter with the desired amount of charcoal. Place crumpled newspaper or a fire starter cube under the chimney and light it.
- Transfer Charcoal: Once the charcoal is covered in a light gray ash (approximately 15-20 minutes), carefully pour it onto the charcoal grate in your desired configuration.
- Alternative Lighting: If not using a chimney starter, arrange charcoal, apply a small amount of charcoal starter fluid, and light immediately. Allow the fluid to burn off completely before placing food on the grate.

- Vermeerderasing Temperatuur: Open both the top (lid) and bottom (bowl) dampers fully to allow maximum airflow, increasing the charcoal's heat.
- Dekreetasing Temperatuur: Partially close the dampers to restrict airflow, reducing the charcoal's heat.
- Extinguishing Charcoal: Close both top and bottom dampers completely to cut off oxygen supply, allowing the charcoal to cool and extinguish safely.
