Installation Notes
Follow the Fire Magic charcoal/smoker basket instructions before use. The grill must be cool and its knobs in the OFF position when installing the basket. Remove the cooking grid and flavor grid at the chosen main burner position, then set the basket in place and reinstall the cooking grid.
Do not use quick-light charcoal or the smoker lid when cooking with charcoal. For smoking, Fire Magic instructs users to soak wood chips or chunks in water for at least 30 minutes and use the smoker lid. Follow the separate loading and burner-setting directions in the manual for each cooking method.
