GRILL PREPARATION &OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: NO RETURNS ON USED GRILLS
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully
Before assembling and operating your grill.
1. Cure GRILL prior to your initial use to protect the interior and exterior finish and
to prevent unnatural flavors to your first meals. (A) Lightly coat ALL INTERIOR
SURFACES (including GRILLS, GRATES, AND INSIDE OF BARREL.) with vegetable
oil (spray vegetable oil is easiest but do not use near hot coals or fire). (B) Build
a medium sized fire on the fire grate. (C) After coals ash over, spread out coals,
replace cooking grates, close lid and heat at approximately 250 F for two hours.
Re-coat GRATES and return to grill at approximately 200 F for two hours. You
can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with vegetable oil. This
will extend the life of the finish, much like waxing a car. Your GRILL will then be
ready for use. NOTE: Grill will drip a lot of oil during this process and for several
uses but will slow over time. NEVER EXCEED 400 BECAUSE THIS WILL DAM-
AGE THE FINISH AND CONTRIBUTE TO RUST. PAINT IS NOT WARRANTED AND
WILL REQUIRE TOUCH-UP. THIS UNIT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.
2. To START FIRE –stack 50-60 briquettes in pyramid and saturate with lighter
fluid (DON’T USE GASOLINE). Light coals in several places, close lid after bri-
quettes ash over or _ gray, spread them out and start cooking. If one end burns
faster, use tongs to move coals from one end to the other for even heat. AL-
WAYS FOLLOW CHARCOAL AND LIGHTER FLUID MANUFACTURERS’ INSTRUC-
TIONS AND WARNINGS. USE OUTDOORS ONLY ON NONCOMBUSTIBLE SUR-
FACE –15’ AWAY FROM WOOD AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
3. Control heat with amount and type of FUEL, DUAL DAMPERS and ADJUSTABLE
FIRE GRATE. Adjust GRATE one end at a time. Wood burns hotter than coals.
More airflow is more heat.
4. For no flare-ups, cook with lid in the down position. Add water soaked hardwood
chips for a smoked flavor.
5. Suggestion: Screw 3/4'" cup hooks (not furnished) on front of the wood shelf to
hang cooking utensils.
6. Burn out may be rust out. Ashes left in bottom too long hold moisture and rust
through any thickness of steel. This grill is made of steel and cast iron, which
WILL RUST, ESPECIALLY IF NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR.
7. Do not use self-starting charcoal as it will give unnatural flavor. Burn lighter flu-
id completely before closing lid.
8. After using, coat vegetable oil on interior grates and bare metal while warm to
reduce rust. On the EXTERIOR, remove dust with wire brush and touch up with a
high heat paint, available at most hardware/auto stores.
9. You may place a coffee can on bottom shelf under the hole in the grill to catch
drippings.
10. HEAT GAUGE may obtain moisture, which will steam out during cooking. Gauge
may be calibrated in oven.
11. You may fill unwanted holes with Nuts & Bolts (Not Provided). NOTE: Smoke will
escape from areas other than the smokestack. This should not affect your cook-
ing.

 Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid
scrapes or cuts from sharp edges.
 Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use
of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possi-
bly leading to severe bodily injury.
 Keep children & pets away from grill. Supervision is necessary and
do not leave grill unattended when in use. Use caution when mov-
ing grill to prevent strains. Keep grill at least 15 feet from any com-
bustible material (decks, buildings, fences, trees, bushes, etc).
 When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution.
 Never move grill when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or
ashes.
 Do not place grill near flammable liquids, gases or where flamma-
ble vapors may be present.
 Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly
comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face
and body safe from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL

OM2121 C.2 ™ & © Char-Griller / A&J Mfg. 14
 Do not exceed a temperature of 400 F. Do not allow charcoal and/
or wood to rest on the walls of grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the
life of the grill
 Always wear oven mitts to protect hands from burns. Avoid touching
hot surfaces.
 When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it
rests against the lid support brackets. Use extreme caution as hood
could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.
 Close lid and all dampers to help suffocate flame.
 Always hold an open lid from the wooden handle to prevent it from
closing unexpectedly.
 Never leave coals and ashes unattended. Before grill can be left
unattended, coals and ashes must be removed. Use caution to pro-
tect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ash-
es in a noncombustible metal container and saturate completely
with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24
hours prior to disposing.
 To protect against bacteria that could cause illness, keep all meats
and refrigerated and thaw in refrigerator or microwave; keep raw
meats separate from other foods; wash everything that contacts
raw meats; cook thoroughly; and refrigerate leftovers immediately.
Cook meats medium to well one.
