WARNING

• Only use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the grill.

Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

• DO NOT use grill without charcoal tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal tray will tray contains hot coal.

• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the grill and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or

construction should be maintained at all times when grill is in use. Do not place grill under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area.

• For household use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.

• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use

charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the

charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from grill.

• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid and doors open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20

minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may

result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.

• Only use charcoal chimney starter if starting fire in second section after 1st fire is already burning. Lighter fluid may ignite from heat

causing flash fire. Otherwise, fires must be started in both cooking chambers at the same time.

• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly

leading to severe bodily injury.

• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

• Place grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when grill

is in use.

• Do not leave grill unattended when in use.

• When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this

manual.

• Do not store or use grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

• Do not store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids or material under the grill.

• Use caution when adjusting charcoal grate height. Handle may be hot when in use.

• Never raise or lower charcoal grate when water smoking as hot water may splash onto coals creating a burst of hot steam and coals.

Grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:

• DO NOT attempt to move the grill.

WARNING

• Check grease level in tin can often and empty or change when 3/4 full. Use extreme caution as the smoker, tin can and its contents will

be hot.

• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid to suffocate the flame.

Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and

body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.

• Never place more than 15 pounds on front shelf. Do not lean on the front shelf.

• Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life

of the metal and finish of your grill.

• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution when

reaching into or under grill.

• When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way open. If lid is not fully open, it could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily

injury.

• In windy weather, place grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

• Close lid, doors and smoke stack to suffocate flame.

• Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended. Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from

grill. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and

saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.

• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.

• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen

during the cooking or cleaning process.

• After each use, clean the grill thoroughly and apply a light coat of vegetable oil to interior to prevent rusting. Cover the grill to protect it

from excessive rusting.

• Use caution when lifting or moving grill to prevent strains and back injuries.

PREPARATION FOR USE

& LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE THE GRILL OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE

AWAY FROM ROOF OVERHANG OR ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. NEVER USE ON WOODEN OR OTHER SURFACES THAT

COULD BURN. PLACE THE GRILL AWAY FROM OPEN WINDOWS OR DOORS TO PREVENT SMOKE FROM ENTERING YOUR

HOUSE. IN WINDY WEATHER, PLACE THE GRILL IN AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM THE WIND.

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Smoke’N Pit, follow the instructions

below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will minimize damage to the

exterior finish as well as rid the grill of paint odor that can impart unnatural

flavors to the first meal prepared on your Brinkmann Smoke’N Pit.

IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be

properly cured and covered at all times when not in use. A cover

for your Smoke’N Pit may be ordered directly from Brinkmann

by calling 800-468-5252.

Step 1

Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the Smoke’N Pit including cooking grills

with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grates or

charcoal tray.

Step 2

Place a tin can on the grease cup holder. A tin can must be placed under

the grease hole at all times.

Step 3

Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal

and/or wood as fuel in the Smoke’N Pit (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During

Cooking” section of this manual).

WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid.

Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and

instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10 pounds of

charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing

process has been completed. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully

place hot coals in center of each charcoal grate.

WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT

attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot

coals.

NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood

do not touch the walls of grill.

IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 6

Start with 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to

cook with once the curing process has been completed. Open the firebox

air shutter approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack damper halfway. When

charcoal is burning strong, carefully place the hot coals in center of

charcoal grate in firebox.

Curing Your Grill

INS_810-3041-W 11/12/08 10:40 AM Page 16

WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the firebox air shutter to prevent coals

from falling out.

Step 4

Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes to

allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely

away from the grill.

Step 5

Open the firebox air shutter approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack

damper half way. With grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal

and allow to burn until covered with a light ash

(approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid must be

allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid.

WARNING: Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off

prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failure to do

this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may

result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.

Step 6

With coals burning strong, close the lid and door. Allow the temperature to

reach the middle of the Ideal range. Maintain this temperature for 2 hours.

Step 7

Increase the temperature to middle of the Hot range. This can be achieved

by opening the firebox air shutter and smokestack damper and adding

more charcoal and/or wood (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking”

section of this manual). Maintain this temperature for 1 hour then allow

unit to cool completely.

NOTE: Never exceed the Hot range in cooking chamber. It is important

that the exterior of the smoker is not scraped or rubbed during

the curing process.

IMPORTANT: To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must be

cured periodically and covered at all times when not in use. A

smoker cover can be ordered directly from Brinkmann by

calling 800-468-5252.

YOUR BRINKMANN SMOKE’N PIT IS NOW CURED AND

READY FOR USE.

Step 1

Place a charcoal grate in firebox. Place cooking grills in cooking chamber,

then follow instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use

charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Smoke’N Pit (see “Adding

Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).

WARNING: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with

lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or

charcoal/wood mixture.

If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and

instructions regarding the use of their product. Carefully place 5 to 6

pounds of hot coals on charcoal grate.

WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the firebox air shutter to prevent coals

from falling out.

NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood

do not touch the walls of grill.

IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 5

If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal

lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene,

alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all

manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the

use of their product. Place 5 to 6 pounds of charcoal on charcoal grate.

Step 2

Place a tin can on the grease cup holder. A tin can must be placed under

the grease hole at all times.

Step 3

Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With firebox lid open wait 2 to 3

minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting

fluid safely away from the grill.

Step 4

Open the firebox air shutter approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack

damper half way. With firebox lid open, stand back and carefully light

charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash

(approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid must be

allowed to completely burn off prior to closing firebox lid.

WARNING: Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in

grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is

opened.

Smoking

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PLACE THE GRILL OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE

AWAY FROM ROOF OVERHANG OR ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. NEVER USE ON WOODEN OR OTHER

SURFACES THAT COULD BURN. PLACE THE GRILL AWAY FROM OPEN WINDOWS OR DOORS TO PREVENT SMOKE

FROM ENTERING YOUR HOUSE. IN WINDY WEATHER, PLACE THE GRILL IN AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS

PROTECTED FROM THE WIND.

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR GRILL.

INS_810-3041-W 11/12/08 10:40 AM Page 18

18

Step 5

With coals burning well, carefully add wood chunks using long

cooking tongs (see “Flavoring Wood” and “Adding Charcoal/Wood During

Cooking” sections of this manual.)

Step 6

Place cooking grills on grill support lips. Use charcoal grate adjusters to

position charcoal grate to lowest level.

WARNING: Always wear oven mitts/gloves when adjusting cooking levels to

protect your hands from burns.

Step 7

Place food on cooking grills and close lids.

Step 8

The ideal smoking temperature is between the low and high end of the

Ideal range on your temperature gauge. For large cuts of meat, allow

approximately one hour of cooking time per pound of meat. Always use a

meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing

from grill.

Step 9

Allow grill to cool completely, then follow instructions in the

“After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this

manual.

During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to open lid to check

food. Opening the lid allows heat and smoke to escape, making

additional cooking time necessary.

Food closest to the firebox will cook and brown faster. Rotate food midway

through the cooking cycle. If food is excessively browned or flavored with

smoke, wrap food in aluminum foil after the first few hours of smoking.

This will allow food to continue cooking without further browning or smoke

flavoring.

When cooking fish or extra lean cuts of meat, you may want to try water

smoking to keep the food moist. Before starting a fire, place charcoal grate

to lowest level. Use a flat bottom metal pan shallow enough to fit between

charcoal grate and cooking grills as a water pan. Set the metal pan on

charcoal grate under food and cooking grills. Fill with water or marinade

until full.

CAUTION: Always use oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands. Liquid in

water pan will be extremely hot and can scald or burn. Always

allow liquid to cool completely before handling. Do not allow

liquid to completely evaporate from water pan.

CAUTION: Charcoal grate must be set at lowest level. Never raise or lower

charcoal grate when water smoking as hot water may splash

onto coals creating a burst of hot steam and coals.
