4. Install Vortex Heat Management System / Ash Bucket: Attach the Vortex heat management system and ash bucket assembly to the underside of the grill bowl. Ensure the precision controlled air inlets are correctly aligned and the ash bucket is securely in place. The air vent cover with handle and heat plate should be assembled as follows: handle, then heat plate, then the two cylinder cups (often packed with wheels) that screw into the bolts, then insert onto the top and screw down on the bottom with the hanging assembly. Ensure the angle of the handle for the top air vent is upwards.

1. Open all air vents (top and bottom) to allow maximum airflow.
2. Place charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal on the charcoal grate. Arrange them in a pyramid shape for efficient lighting.
3. Apply charcoal lighter fluid according to its instructions, or use a charcoal chimney starter.
4. Light the charcoal. Allow approximately 15-20 minutes for the charcoal to ash over and glow red before spreading it out.

5.2. Iṣakoso iwọn otutu

The Napoleon NK18 uses adjustable air vents for precise temperature control. The integrated Accu-Probe Temperature Gauge on the lid helps monitor the internal temperature.

• Alekunasing Temperature: Open the top and bottom air vents further to increase airflow, which will make the charcoal burn hotter.
• Parẹasing Temperature: Close the top and bottom air vents partially to reduce airflow, which will lower the charcoal burning temperature.
• The Vortex Heat Management System improves convection for better searing and smoking. Adjust the bottom vents to direct airflow for desired cooking methods.
