Never lift it by the hinge assembly; the opened ash door can be used as a lifting point only with heavy gloves. Lock the casters of the stand before setting the grill in it, and use a 5 mm hex key to check that both bands are tight before and after first use (do not overtighten).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel and lighting: use only natural lump charcoal, a full fire box for searing or smoking and about half for two-zone cooking. Light it with fire starter cubes, a chimney starter or an electric starter with the dome open; after 5 to 10 minutes, when embers form, close the dome and open the draft door and top vent fully. Never use lighter fluid or other combustible liquids, because the ceramic absorbs them and food can taste of fuel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature control: when you are within about 25°F of your target, close the top vent to one-third open, wait 1 to 2 minutes, then adjust it in 1\/4 in. steps (each step can move the temperature up to about 25°F). For grilling keep the draft door fully open; for roasting set it about one-third open. For smoking at about 225°F, start a very small fire, set the draft door to about a 1 in. opening at 200°F and use only the daisy wheel holes on the top vent. It is easy to raise the temperature and hard to bring it down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooking setups: direct one-zone grilling and searing, two-zone grilling and roasting, or indirect one-zone baking, roasting and smoking with heat deflectors or racks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusing charcoal: lump charcoal can be used 2 to 3 times; stir the ash through the fire grate with an ash tool and add about 30% new charcoal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primo's warranty requires regular maintenance: clean the ash from the cast iron grates to prevent buildup, clean the cooking grates and cast iron surfaces after each use, and check and tighten the band bolts several times a season and after high-heat cooks.
