How to use

Before first use, follow the manufacturer's seasoning and initial burn-in instructions to cure the ceramic and remove manufacturing residues. Fill the firebox with the recommended amount of charcoal, light according to safe outdoor practices, and adjust the bottom and top vents to reach the desired cooking temperature. Place food on the cooking grate when the cooker stabilizes at the target temperature. For low-and-slow smoking, set vents to maintain lower oxygen flow and monitor internal temperature with a probe thermometer. For searing, open vents to increase airflow and allow the chamber to reach higher temperatures quickly. After cooking, fully close vents to extinguish coals and allow the unit to cool before cleaning.

Usage recommendations

Use quality lump charcoal for cleaner burn and better temperature responsiveness, monitor food temperature with a probe for consistent results, and protect the ceramic cooker from prolonged exposure to heavy rain or freezing conditions to preserve its integrity.
