ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR GRILL
Read the following instructions carefully and be sure your appliance is properly assembled, installed,
and maintained. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious bodily injury and/or property
damage. If you have any questions concerning assembly or operation, call 912-638-4724.
• Grill is for use outdoors and in well-ventilated areas, only.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol to light charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products
could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Do not leave a lit grill unattended. Keep children and pets away from grill at all times.
• Use caution when moving grill to prevent strains.
• Keep grill at least 15 feet from any combustible 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 flammable 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.
• WARNING: To avoid injuries gloves or other protective articles should be used when touching the
ash pan hangers.
• 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.

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 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 remain in metal container 24 hours prior to
disposing.

refrigerator or microwave. Keep raw meats separate from other foods, and wash everything that
comes in contact with raw meat.
• Cook meat thoroughly, and refrigerate leftovers immediately.
• Use a calibrated food thermometer and the USDA guidelines to ensure that meat, poultry, seafood,
and other cooked foods reach a safe minimum internal temperature.
