OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is designed for use only with quality charcoal briquets, lump charcoal and cooking
wood.
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the grill
for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate
odors.
CAUTION: Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high
grade plain charcoal, charcoal/wood mixture, lump charcoal or cooking wood.
Lighting
CAUTION: Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before using the grill.
CAUTION: Make sure bottom bowl is empty before using the grill.
1. Open lid and vents.
2. Make sure ash receiver is empty and secure.
3. Remove cooking grid.
4. Arrange charcoal briquets or other fuel on the charcoal grid.
5. Light per instructions on fuel package.
6. Allow fuel time to ash into glowing coals before cooking.
CAUTION: When using a liquid starter always check ash catcher before lighting. Fluid can
collect in the ash receiver and could ignite resulting in a fire below the bowl.
CAUTION: Never add lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur, causing
serious injury or damage to property.
Direct Cooking
Cooking directly over hot coals is ideal for searing in juices and grilling food requiring less than 25
minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables and fruit.
1. Open lid and remove cooking grid.
2. Load and light charcoal per charcoal manufacturer’s instructions. Leave lid open.
3. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals evenly across charcoal grid with a
long handle tool.
4. While wearing protective gloves, replace cooking grid, close lid and allow grill to preheat.
5. While wearing protective gloves, open lid and place food onto cooking grids above the hot coals
with long handle tongs.
6. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
Note: If additional briquets are needed, remove food from cooking grid, and while wearing
protective gloves, remove the cooking grid and place additional briquets without disturbing the hot
coals. Carefully replace cooking grid and food.
7. Allow charcoal to burn out by closing lid and all vents. Except in the case of an emergency, do
NOT pour water on hot coals.

14
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Indirect Cooking
Not cooking directly over hot coals is ideal for slow cooking and grilling foods requiring more than
25 minutes such as most roasts, loins, chops, whole chickens, turkey, fish and baked goods.
1. Open lid and remove cooking grid.
2. Load and light charcoal per charcoal manufacturer’s instructions. Leave lid open.
3. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals to the outsides of charcoal grid with a
long handle tool.
4. While wearing protective gloves, replace cooking grid, close lid and allow grill to preheat.
5. Wear protective gloves to open lid. Use long handled tools to place food onto cooking grids
above the areas without hot coals.
6. With lid closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.
Note: If additional briquets are needed, remove food from cooking grid and while wearing protective
gloves remove the cooking grid and place additional briquets without disturbing the hot coals.
Carefully replace cooking grid and food.
7. Allow charcoal to burn out by closing lid and all vents. Except in the case of an emergency, do
NOT pour water on hot coals.
For more tips on indirect cooking please see “Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life,” found
on page 15.
Controlling Flare-ups:
CAUTION: Do not use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease to splatter and could
result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage.
CAUTION: Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue. If grill has
not been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.
CAUTION: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily accessible. In the event
of an oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Use type BC dry chemical fire
extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and adds to the unique flavor of grilling.
Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your
grill.
Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
If grease fire occurs, close the lid until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as
sudden flare-ups may occur.
Minimize Flare-ups:
1. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
2. Cook high-fat content meats on LOW setting or indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible, surface.

15
Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Grill Life:
1. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and follow indirect
cooking instructions, or place on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
2. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn foods
over just once during cooking.
3. When cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat indirectly, place meat onto a roasting rack inside a
heavy gauge metal pan.
4. Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting coals, remove cooking
grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on charcoal grid. Fill half way with water, fruit
juices or other flavored liquids. Place coals around grid, per “Lighting Instructions,” replace
cooking grids and position food over the loaded pan.
5. Enhance food flavors by using wood chips in smoker boxes or aluminum foil pouches. Follow the
wood manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your experiences,
reduce cooking times and aid in clean-up.
7. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill brush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
8. Allow grill to fully cool after every use. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat of
cooking oil, clean out all ashes, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and protect
surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your grill.
9. Watch barbecue-themed TV shows or purchase related barbecue cookbooks to learn helpful and
interesting tips.

16
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the fuel
supply removed.
CAUTION: DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage
the finish.
Notices:
1. Abrasive cleaners will damage this product.
2. Never use oven cleaner to clean any part of grill.
Cleaning Surfaces:
1. Wipe surfaces clean with mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda.
2. For stubborn surfaces use a citrus-based degreaser and a nylon scrubbing brush.
3. Rinse clean with water.
Tips:
1. To help prevent rust, keep grill covered when not in use.
2. Applying a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface can help
prevent rust. Do NOT coat charcoal grate or ash receiver.
