How do I safely light the charcoal using lighter fluid?

Saturate the charcoal with approved lighting fluid, wait 2-3 minutes for the fluid to soak in, and then carefully light the charcoal. Allow the charcoal to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes) before closing the door and placing the dome lid on the smoker. Failure to do so could trap fumes and result in a flash-fire or explosion when the door or dome lid is opened. (Page 2)
