IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL
 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 possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
 Do not used lighter fluid on already lit coals.
 Keep children & pets away from grill. Supervision is necessary and do not leave grill unattended when
in use. Use caution when moving grill to prevent strains. Keep grill at least 15 feet from any combus-
tible 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, keep the grill in a level posi-
tion at all times while in use. ALWAYS latch lid when lid is in closed position.
 Do not place grill near flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
 When opening grill, first open slightly to let a small amount of air in for a few seconds. This prevents
large amounts of oxygen from getting to suffocated coals which may cause dangerous flash back.
 Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When open-
ing the lid, keep hands, face and body safe from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
 Removing excess fat before cooking will help prevent flare-ups.
 Keep your grill clean to help prevent flare-ups.
 Always put charcoal on top of the fire grate and not directly into the bottom of the grill.
 Do not exceed a temperature of 700˚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, especially when adjusting dampers. Avoid touch-
ing hot surfaces.
 When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support bracket.
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 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 protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes
in a noncombustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to re-
main in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
 To protect against bacteria that could cause illness, keep all meats refrigerated and thaw in refrigera-
tor 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 done.

GRILL PREPARATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: NO RETURNS ON USED GRILLS
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully
Before assembling and operating your grill.
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU MUST SEASON THE CAST IRON
COOKING GRATE.
Seasoning Your Cast Iron Cooking Grate:
Before you use your grill it is important to season it, this will burn off coating used to protect
your grill during shipping, help protect your cast iron grates from rusting and prepare it for use.
First wash your cooking grates in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with
a towel. DO NOT AIR DRY. NEVER PUT YOUR COOKING GRATE OR ANY PART OF YOUR GRILL
IN YOUR DISHWASHER.
Once your cooking grate is dry apply a coating of vegetable oil or shortening to your cooking
grate, be sure to coat both sides thoroughly. To finish seasoning your grill start a fire in your grill, we rec-
ommend using Lump Charcoal, Heat your grill to 400 ˚F for an hour, this will burn off any chemical resi-
dues left from shipping and manufacturing and season your cooking grate. Seasoning should be done
periodically to lengthen the life of your cooking grate.
Clean grates while warm using gloves and a baseball sized aluminum foil ball.
Lighting Your Grill:
Note: we recommend using Lump Charcoal because they contain no additives or fillers. This makes for
more efficient burning, less ash than charcoal briquettes and much better tasting food.
General Rules:
 Make pyramid of Lump Charcoal in center of fire grate. Use fire starters with no Kerosene.
 Do Not Use Lighter Fluids.
 Leave lid open until coals are ignited and smoke burns white with no flames.
 After coals are lit and before the coals turn white, Close Lid.
 Start regulating internal dome temp with dampers. (If you wish, begin grilling.)
 Do not let temp go too far beyond desired temp because it is harder to bring temp down than to go up.
More air flow means more heat.
Damper Adjustments

OM06614B.1 ™ & © Char-Griller / A&J Mfg. 12
When you are finished grilling:
After your are finished grilling you can shut down your grill by closing both dampers and allowing the fire
to suffocate.
Emptying the Ashes: ONLY EMPTY ASHES WHILE GRILL IS NOT IS USE.
After the fire is completely extinguished wait several hours before emptying the ashes to be sure they are
not still hot. Knock any ashes that did not fall into the ash pan from the fire grate. (if there are pieces
of partially burned charcoal on the fire grate you can save them for next time, they are still good). Tap
the sides of the fire bowl to knock loose any ash that is on the sides. Unclip the ash pan from the bot-
tom of the grill and slide out towards the front. Give the ash pan a few firm taps to loosen any ash that
may be stuck. Place the ashes in a metal container and cover with water to ensure there are no lit
coals then you can dispose of the ashes. Charcoal is porous and holds moisture, DO NOT leave char-
coal in your grill while you are not using it as charcoal or ashes left, especially outside, may reduce the
life of your grill.
We encourage you to search the internet for more information about
Kamado style cooking.
For LOW, SLOW and LONG grilling & Smoking (200 to 350 F)
Use approx one pound of medium size or larger size pieces of LUMP CHARCOAL to build fire in center of
fire grate. Start fire as described above. When coals ignite, CLOSE LID and begin to regulate temp with
Dampers to desired setting.
For HIGH Temp SEARING & grilling (350 to 650 F)
Use approx two - three pounds of mostly smaller golf ball size pieces of LUMP CHARCOAL than normally to
build fire in center of fire grate. Start fire as described above. When coals ignite, CLOSE LID and begin to
regulate temp with Dampers to desired setting.
For Smoking:
Follow instructions for lower temperature cooking (350˚F and below). Pre soak wood chips for 35
minutes. Soak chunks for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until wood is completely saturated, After grill has
reached desired temperature, sprinkle two handfuls of soaked wood chips or chunks over the lit char-
coals. Let the chips begin to smoke by closing the lid. You can begin cooking after a few minutes.
More soaked chips may be added to the fire later if necessary,
Heat Gauge:
This heat gauge is accurate to +/- 10% of the actual temperature. We suggest verifying this with your
oven. If you require more precise temperature control, the use of a meat thermometer is
recommended.
TIP: Easier to raise the tem-
perature than to lower it. As
cooking temp rises, begin clos-
ing dampers to ease into desired
temperature.
CAUTION: Use extreme care
when opening hood at high tem-
peratures. Flashback can occur.
Slightly open hood, then pause
before slowly opening fully.
Light charcoal pile at “top”
for low temp fire.
Light charcoal pile at
“bottom” for high temp fire.

General Rules for all
GRILLING & SMOKING
Methods & Foods
 Leave grill Lid down while cooking to eliminate flare ups & to give even cooking
 Add wood chips for flavor. When smoking, soak chips for 40 mins.
 Meat Thermometer gives internal temperatures for rare, medium or well done. Insert probe into thickest part
of meat. Suggest thermometer with wire running from the probe thru top damper (wireless & alarm available)
so not necessary to open lid to read meat temp. Opening Lid adds extra smoking time.
 Over cooking causes the meat to dry out
 Damper adjustments lowers or raises heat according to food or cooking method. Easy temp control: Leave
bottom Damper open & adjust top Damper. ¼” top Damper adjustment can mean 25°F change.
 To lower Dome temp: Close both dampers & open lid intermittently to release hot air. Could hand spray little
water on coals. Closing both dampers after cooking preserves some charcoal for next time.
 LUMP CHARCOAL is recommended as fuel because it lights faster, burns hotter, cleaner, adds flavor, less ash
clean up, last longer 18 to 24 hrs and uses less charcoal than briquette.
 Do not use Lighter Fluid, but use an electric starter or fire starters. No after taste.
 When cooking at high temperature, open Lid slowly or open top damper 10 seconds before opening to avoid
fireball or flash back.
 Bring meats to room temp before cooking.
 When Smoking, in addition to these Tips, follow “Grill Set- Up for Smoking” under Smoking Section.
 When starting fire, after coals are lit and before coals turn white, Lid can be closed to start regulating damp-
ers to control internal dome temp and if you wish, begin grilling.

GRILLING RECIPES
GRILLING (direct heat above coals)
STEAKS: First trim excess fat and apply dry rub to both sides of Steaks.
 Sear 1 ½ inch Steaks on the AKORN™ directly over the coals for 2 or 3 minutes at 650° F.
 Flip the Steaks and grill for another 2 or 3 minutes.
 Flip Steaks again and shut both top and bottom dampers and let Steaks remain on grill for another
3 or 4 minutes before removing.
 Internal meat temperatures: 145° F - Med Rare; 160° F -Med; 170° F -Well Done.
Dry rub (per steak): Mix 1/8 cup kosher salt, ¼ tsp white pepper, 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp
black pepper and apply to both sides. Or Marinate steaks in glass pan with mixture of: ½ cup
olive oil, 1/3 cup soy sauce, ¼ cup wine vinegar, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1
minced garlic clove, small minced onion, ¼ tsp pepper for 3 hrs in refrigerator.
BURGERS: Grill ½ lb Burgers exactly the same as Steaks except grill for 2 minutes before
each flip. Before grilling, mix Burgers with Meat Magic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup,
kosher salt, ground pepper, chopped onions & let sit for 20 minutes at room temperature.
MEAT MARINADE: For steaks, chops, and burgers: Combine 1 cup soy sauce, 2 coarsely chopped large
onions, and 2 cloves garlic (halved) in an electric blender; cover, process at high speed 1 minute or until
mixture is smooth. Stir in ¼ cup bottle gravy coloring (Kitchen Bouquet & Gravy Master) and 2 tsp Beau
Monde seasoning (or substitute 1tsp MSG & 1tsp seasoned salt). Marinate meat at room temp for 2 hrs
or refrigerate up to 24 hrs in a covered dish. Bring meat to room temp before cooking.
RACK of LAMB:A typical rack of lamb is 8 bones and weighs 1 1/2 to 2 pounds. A single rack of lamb is
perfect for two people. A big investment, but a fantastic meal. Bottom end has a thick, round piece of
meat, which on the rack is like a long, thin roast. Once cut it is like a small pork chop. Ask butcher re-
move the thin skin from outside of the rack & cut off the chine bone to make easier to carve.
Preparation:
 Wrap bare long bones sticking up from rack with foil (to avoid crusting). Do not overcook or cook at
too high a temperature because these bones can burn and crumble. Keep the bones up, away
from the fire by placing in a “U” Rack.
 Remove loose pieces of fat. Dry with paper towel & season with mustard, salt, pepper & garlic
 Sear lamb quickly over hot fire at 500° F for 3 mins per side then drop heat and/or move the rack
to a cooler part of the grill to let center roast. Creates perfect caramelized crust and keeps center
tender and juicy.
 Close AKÖRN’s ™ lid and let sit for another 5 minutes. Test internal temperature as you go. Do not
overcook. Lamb is rare at 120°F; medium 150°F
 Remove from AKORN™ and tent under foil for 10 mins before carving. Allow the rack to gain a
couple of degrees after you remove it from the grill. It will continue to cook on the inside
To carve the rack of lamb, stand it up on the meat side with the bones curving away from you. Slide a
sharp knife down, between the bones cutting gently through the meat. You should be able to see the
bones all the way down along the back side of the rack.

GRILLING RECIPES
PORK CHOPS:
Ingredients
 4 Pork Chops; 1 –1.3” thick pork chops

oregano, ½ tsp sweet basil, ½ tsp garlic powder w/ parsley, ¼ tsp pepper. Pour over chicken pieces in
glass dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Use marinade to baste chicken while cooking
CEDAR PLANK SALMON:
Ingredients
Fresh salmon Dizzy pig BBQ rub Lemon juice Olive oil
Preparation
Soak planks for 3-4 hrs before cook. Rub salmon with olive oil, dizzy pig raging rub & lemon.
Prepare AKORN™ at 425°
Place plank on grill. Once it starts ‘crackling,’ Place salmon on grill (around 5 minutes)
For thick salmon filets, estimate about 10 - 13 minutes for the fish to start 'flaking'. .. it will still
be a tad underdone in the center. Go 15 - 20 minute if you want it done all the way through
HOT DOGS: Grill at 275° F for about 20-30 minutes. Turn them every 5 minutes to achieve a even
golden brown and remove when they start to split.
SHRIMP (peeled) & CRAYFISH: Place on skewers, coat with melted butter and garlic salt. Grill
for 4 minutes on each side or until pink. Cocktail sauce optional.
BAKED POTATOES: Rub with butter and wrap in foil and grill with lid down for 50 minutes. Turn
after 25 minutes (no need to turn if smoked). Squeeze to check for doneness.
CORN (sweet) ON COB: Soak in water for 1 hour & grill at 325° F for 28 to 32 min turning often.
 Trim loose silk from the end of the cobs, leave husk on and put on grill.
 Or, pull husk back, remove silk, apply butter & sprinkle commercial rub. Pull husk back over cob
and tie top with piece of husk. Grill as above. When finished, husk will twist off.

GRILLING RECIPES
WOKKED VEGETABLES: Use a grill “WOK Kooker” with small holes.
A favorite combo of veggies is asparagus, mushrooms, sweet onions & pineapple, but other
combos work great also. Green beans, red peppers, onions, zucchini is one more example.
Possibilities vast, unlimited to imagination. Mushrooms, sweet onions & pineapple add a lot.
Slice veggies and put in large bowl for 30 minutes prior to cooking. Then in a small bowl mix up
seasonings. Again let imagination run wild. Important to use oil in the mix to “coat” the veggies
Mix 2 TBS of each of the following: soy sauce, peanut oil, fish sauce & wine; also mix in 1 tsp of
each of the following: garlic (powder or fresh), sugar, favorite rub, lime juice, olive oil pepper.
Pour mixture over veggies and mix in with your hands. Let sit 15-30 minutes. Any longer the salt will
take the moisture out of the veggies and they shrink.
Start coals and bring Dome temp between 500 - 600° F. Open lid carefully at high Temp.
Place empty Wok Kooker (sprayed with oil) on cooking grate directly above coals & close Lid
After 1 min, dump veggies into Wok. Makes a sizzling noise. Spread out veggies & close Lid
After 2 or 3 minutes, open and stir well. Should see hint of browning.
Close Lid, wait 2 or 3 mins before stirring again. Repeat process until it has a crunch taste.
Cooking in a regular Wok is good and you end up with plenty of juices, but it is not the same. There
is something special about the effect high heat, open coals and smoke have.
SMOKING
(Indirect Heat w/ optional Smokin’ Stone™)
Combination of thick triple walls & insulation provides ideal insulation for long, slow cooking that ten-
derizes all meats. AKORN™ retains temperature for many hours. Cooking slowly at low temperature for
hours is key to great smoking. Smokin’ Stone™ turns AKORN™ into Convection Oven.
Grill Set-Up
for All “SMOKING” Methods & Foods
 Smoke long and slow in the 200° to 350° F range
 Adjust the Dampers for desired temperature
 Lump Charcoal: (preferred over briquettes) Put several layers in firebox with soaked hickory chips
(soak 40 min to 3 hrs) mixed in or on top of coals for a wood smoke flavor to the meat. Use less
Lump Charcoal than you would Briquettes. For slow cooking, (250 to 350°) build small fire and
light with Fire Starter at top of the charcoal pile. Light charcoal pile at bottom for high temp fires.
Easy to heat up, harder to bring down.
 Bring meat to room temp before cooking and use Meat Thermometer to know when done.
 Also follow all rules above under “General Rules for all Grilling & Smoking”
