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.

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 from 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

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 instruc-
tions 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
INSTR_810-3040-W_SmokeNPit.qxd 12/28/05 12:53 PM 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 250°F on heat indicator. Maintain this
temperature for 2 hours.
Step 7
Increase the temperature to approximately to 400°F. 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 a temperature of 400°F 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.

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.
INSTR_810-3040-W_SmokeNPit.qxd 12/28/05 12:53 PM 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 175°F and 250°F. 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.
