This grill has an adjustable charcoal tray. By turning
the crank handle, the charcoal tray can be raised or
lowered to desired height. This allows for dierent heat
settings depending on the food you are cooking and the
temperature at which you want to cook. It also allows
easy cleaning of the interior of the rebox after the unit
has cooled down completely. It is not recommended to
raise a fully loaded charcoal tray higher than the middle
height setting.
CHARCOAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
• Open grill top.
• Remove cooking grates.
• Adjust charcoal tray to the center position.
• Place one even row of charcoal briquettes in the
charcoal tray. Make sure that charcoal does not go
above the top of the tray.
• Light briquettes.
• Move charcoal tray to the bottom position.
• With the top open, allow the briquettes to fully ignite
(to the point where there is no further lame).
• Once the briquettes are lit, put the grates back in the
grill.
• Adjust charcoal tray as required to achieve the proper
temperature.
• The two side air vents on the lid should be kept open
during cooking to allow air low.
NOTE: The temperature should not go above 500ºF. If the
temperature goes above 500ºF, you should reduce the
quantity of briquettes that you have placed in the charcoal
tray. The proper cooking temperature should not exceed
500ºF.
SEASONING UNIT
1. Before your rst cooking you should season the unit
to enhance the cooking and to provide better overall
durability. Failure to properly follow these steps may
damage the nish and/or impart metallic avors to
foods.
2. Place about 60 briquettes in the charcoal pan. Do not
place any briquettes against walls of the pan.
3. Coat interior surfaces with vegetable cooking oil.
4. Light briquettes and set ash pan at medium height by
cranking the crank handle.
5. Sustain burn for about two hours with lid closed and
all dampers to 1/4 of the way open. Allow the unit to
cool down properly.
6. Once this is completed, the unit is ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a
light coating of vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid
in the protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill
may need occasional touch up. We recommend the use
of commercially available black high temperature spray
paint.
NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT!
OPERATING THE FRONT DOOR, AIR VENTS, AND
SMOKE STACK
• To open the door, rotate the knob left or right and pull.
• To close the door, push the door in and rotate the
knob to engage the door catch.
• To adjust the side air vents, rotate them until desired
air ow is achieved.
• To adjust the chimney, rotate the damper until the
desired air ow is achieved.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Burning charcoal
inside can kill you. It gives o carbon monoxide,which
has no odor. NEVER burn charcoal inside homes,
vehicles or tents.
WARNING
WARNING: These metal parts could be very hot while
grilling. Always operate these parts while wearing a
heat-resistant glove.

13
GRILLING
Charcoal is recommended, however wood or a
combination of both may be used as the fuel source for
grilling if the fuel source is placed and ignited on the
charcoal pan. Do not build too large a re. We recommend
starting a re with no more than 4 lbs. of charcoal
(approximately 60 briquettes) and adding more as needed
during cooking through the front access door. After
allowing the re to burn down, place the cooking grates
or the skewers in the unit. Failure to read and follow
instructions for lighting charcoal may result in serious
personal injury and or property damage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Most surfaces on this unit are hot when in use.
Use extreme caution. Keep others away from unit.
• Always wear protective clothing to prevent injury.
• Keep children and pets away.
• DO NOT move this unit during operation.
• Never substitute gasoline, kerosene or alcohol
for charcoal lighter uid. In some states, the use
of charcoal lighter uid is prohibited by law. In
this case, paran-based starter cubes can be
substituted, or use a charcoal chimney. Never use
lighter uid with an electric starter.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean your BLACKSTONE grill between uses
and especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure
that the grill and its components are suciently cool
before cleaning. Never handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
In order to extend and maintain the life and condition of
your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered
when left outside for any length of time, especially during
