BBQ Dragon Instruction Manual

The BBQ Dragon provides a low-velocity, high-volume column of air to fires. It reduces the start time of charcoal grills and other fires to only
minutes. Fire is a product of fuel (wood or charcoal), and oxygen. The more oxygen, the hotter and faster the fire. The BBQ Dragon uses patent-
pending technology to provide more oxygen to fires. It can be used on charcoal grills as well as any other fire that you need to start, speed up, or
make hotter.
Before using this product, read all instructions
and safety information. Failure to follow these in-
structions could result in injury or damage.
● Do not position the BBQ Dragon directly over a fire. The BBQ
Dragon must be positioned so that it draws in cool air from out-
side the fire. Failure to do so will result in damage to the BBQ
Dragon and will void the warranty.
● Use caution when handling the BBQ Dragon. The interior surface
of the clamp and the flexible
neck will get hot and could
cause serious burns if handled.
Use the plastic handle and the
intake side of the stainless steel
fan housing to reposition the
BBQ Dragon. Always check to
make sure the BBQ Dragon is
cool before handling it.
● Please take care to observe
proper battery polarity (+/-)
when inserting batteries into
the BBQ Dragon.
● To reduce the risk of injury, on-
ly charge rechargeable batter-
ies. Do not charge other types
of batteries as they may burst
potentially causing personal
injury or damage.
● Do not allow your BBQ Dragon to get wet. Water can cause dam-
age to batteries and electronic components and will void your
warranty.
● If using the BBQ Dragon in windy conditions, always position it
so that the BBQ Dragon is upwind of the fire. Being downwind
of a fire could cause damage to BBQ Dragon and void the war-
ranty.
● This product is intended for use by people with experience
and knowledge of the product, its use, and fire safety. This
product is not intended to be used by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
● Take proper precautions using this product around any type
of fire. Failure to use caution around a fire could result in
severe burns, property damage or personal injury.

Instructions for use on charcoal fires

1. Light your charcoal. BBQ Dragon recommends using BBQ Dragon
TM
Atomic Fire Starters (but you can use newspaper, lighter fluid, or
whatever other inferior method you normally use).
2. Once the coals have begun to burn, approximately 2-3 minutes,
attach the BBQ Dragon to the side of your grill.
3. Position the BBQ Dragon so that it is drawing in cool air from
outside the grill as shown. Turn on and adjust the fan speed to provide
the desired amount of air to your fire.
4. Allow the BBQ Dragon to remain on the grill until the coals are gray
and fully started, approximately 5-7 minutes on a small pile of coals
and 7-10 minutes for a larger pile of coals.
5. Once the coals are fully lit, remove the BBQ Dragon from the grill
and turn it off.
TIP: You can reposition the BBQ Dragon to provide air to all sides of
the charcoal by moving the metal fan housing, or reattaching the handle
to another part of the grill. Always use caution when handling the BBQ
Dragon as it may be hot. NEVER touch the interior metal portion of the
handle or the flexible neck as they will get hot.
TIP: You can use the BBQ Dragon to re-ignite charcoals that have
begun to die down, or when adding more coals to an already lit fire.
Simply aim the BBQ Dragon at the fire, adjust the fan speed as
necessary, and watch the coals flare to life.

Instructions for ceramic grills and smokers

Ceramic grills work by creating a draft of air to cause convection inside
the grill. You can increase this draft using a BBQ Dragon.
To start or raise the temperature of a ceramic grill:
1. Position the BBQ Dragon so that it is blowing air into the bottom of
the grill. This can be accomplished by attaching the clip to the leg of
the grill in most cases, and aiming the fan housing into the air intake.
2. Turn on and adjust the speed for the desired amount of air.
3. Turn off and remove the BBQ Dragon once the coals are going or
the desired temperature is reached.
TIP: Pay close attention. The BBQ Dragon can raise the temperature
of a ceramic grill by 300 degrees in only a few minutes.
Smokers require the frequent addition of wood to the coals in order to
produce smoke. Opening the door to add wood lowers the temperature
of the smoker and increases the time it takes to smoke your food.
Use the BBQ Dragon to start or increase the temperature of a smoker:
1. Position the BBQ Dragon to blow into the coal chamber of the
smoker by attaching it to the coal door, a leg of the smoker, or by
resting it on the ground.
2. Turn on and adjust the speed of the BBQ Dragon.
3. Turn off and remove the BBQ Dragon once the coals are going or
the desired temperature is reached.
TIP: We recommend using the BBQ Dragon on a low speed with a
smoker. High speeds can blow ash around, and you don't want ash all
over the food that you are smoking, do you?
