LIGHTING A FIRE
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol to light charcoal. Using any of these products (or
similar products) could cause a flare up, flash fire, or explosion. Severe bodily injury could be
result.
If using lighter fluid to start fire, leave the hood open unl briquees are ashed over and lighter
fluid has burned off. Closing hood too soon could cause fumes from the lighter fluid to
accumulate inside the grill. This could cause a flare up or explosion when the hood is opened.
Do not open the hoodwhile the charcoal door is opened. This could cause a flare up or
explosion
Do not add lighter fluid to warm or hot coals. A flash fire may result in bodily injury or property
damage.
Do not add instant light charcoal briquees to an exisng fire. A flash fire may result in bodily
injury or property damage.
Do not light grill without the slide out ash pan in place.
GRILL USAGE AND OPERATION
It is always recommended to pre burn your grill prior to your first use. By lighng a small
charcoal fire to simulate the cooking process, you will burn offany residues or oils created
during the manufacturing process.
Grill is hot when in use – do not touch grill surfaces.
Always wear insulated mis when grill is in use.
Do not wear loose clothing when using grill or allow hair to come in contact with grill.
When in use, never leave grill unaended.
Do not operate grill without the slide out ash pan in place.
Use cauon when opening the charcoal pan access door. Charcoal pan access door handle may
be hot – use insulated mis. Follow addional instrucons in the “ADDING ADDITIONAL
CHARCOAL” secon.
Use cauon when adjusng the charcoal pan -- do not allow adjustable charcoal pan to fall
uncontrolled to its lowest posion. Adjustable charcoal pan handle may be hot – use insulated
mis.
Use cauon when opening the hood – push back to its fully opened posion. If the hood is le
parally open, it may drop suddenly, causing bodily injury.
Hood’s handle may be hot – use insulated mis.
Use cauon when adjusng the buerfly dampers. The buerfly damper handles may be hot –
use insulated mis.
Do not lean on or place more than 10kgs/22lbs on the side shelf.
Keep a fire exnguisher on hand – in the event the fire gets out of control.
When fresh air comes in contact with flame, a flare up can result. Use cauon when opening
hood or charcoal pan access door. Maintain a safe distance from hot steam and flame.
Close hood and buerfly dampers to exnguish flames.
3

To prolong grill finish and metal life, do not exceed a grill temperature of 400 ° F and do not let
burning charcoal or wood come in contact with the walls of the grill.
Aer normal operaon, if the crank handle does not rotate smoothly, add some lubricang oils
into the crank handle.
Clean the cooking grid and slightly coat with vegetable oil aer use.
If there is naked flame or temperature is over 325
° F, please do not close the hood.
ASH DISPOSAL AND CLEAN UP
It is imperave that you clean out the ashes from your grill aer both grill and ashes have
completely cooled – and before moisture can combine with the ash. Ash and moisture can
create lye, which is very acidic, and can cause rusng. FYI-- lye soap was made from the lye
leached out of ashes by pouring water through them.
Do not leave hot grill or hot coals and ashes unaended.
Do not remove or empty slide out ash pan unl coals and ashes have completely cooled.
Using insulated mis – aer coals and ashes have completely cooled – remove slide out ash pan
and empty ashes into a metal container. Douse with water before disposal. Keep container a
safe distance from combusble materials.
Wet the surfaces beneath and around the grill to exnguish any ashes or coals that may have
fallen out of grill.
To prevent excessive rust: clean grill aer each use, cover and store in a dry place.
Add lubricant to the end of crank handle aer using the grill every 2~3 mes to make sure the
handle is liing the charcoal tray smoothly.

USE AND CARE
USE OF COOKING GRATE
First Time Use
Before using a cast iron grate, wash it thoroughly with a mild dishwashing liquid to remove the
protecve wax coang applied for shipping. Rinse with hot water and dry completely with a so
cloth or paper towel. NEVER ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY OR WASH IN A DISHWASHER. Now season the
grates to prevent rust and scking.
Seasoning
A solid vegetable shortening is recommended for the inial seasoning. Spread a thin coang of solid
vegetable shortening over the enre surface, including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use
salted fats such as buer or margarine. Preheat grill for 15 minutes; carefully place grates in the grill.
Allow the grill to heat grates for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Allow the fire to burn out on its own, and leave
cooking grates in grill unl they are cool. Your cast iron cooking grates are now ready to use.
To Prevent Rusng
Re-season your grates frequently, parcularly when new. If rust occurs, it is an indicaon that the
grates have not been seasoned enough or the seasoning has been burned off. Clean with a heavy
brush, re-apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above to re-season the grates.
Maintenance
It is much easier to keep the cast iron cooking grates clean if they are brushed just aer cooking,
while the coals are sll hot – instead of allowing excess residue to harden aer it cools. Aer
brushing, allow the grates (as well as the grill itself) to cool. For more thorough cleaning, use a wet,
soapy, fine steel wool pad with only slight pressure. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
GRILL TOUCH-UP
Aer me, surface rust can be removed with a wire brush and touched up with high temperature
black paint. Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be
buffed, cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize
rusng.
LIGHTING THE FIRE
Always light the fire with the grill lid open. Before lighng the fire, open the hood of your
CHARCOAL GRILL, as well as all of the buerfly dampers and remove the cooking grates.
Do not build too large a fire. We recommend starng a fire with no more than 2 pounds of charcoal
(approximately 30 briquees) and adding more as needed during cooking,but the total maximum
charcoal required should be less than 9 pounds. Aer allowing the fire to burn down, place the
cooking grate on the unit. Lower the adjustable charcoal pan to its lowest seing.
If using charcoal lighter fluid to start the fire, saturate the charcoal briquees with lighter fluid and
let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes. Aer allowing the lighter fluid to properly soak in, light
the pile of briquees in several locaons to ensure an even burn. Chimney starters, electric starters,
or other types of fire starters may be used instead of lighter fluid to light the fire – but only
5

according to those manufacturers’ instrucons. Never use instant light charcoal or charcoal lighter
fluid with any of these other starng methods.
Allow the charcoal enough me to completely ash over before beginning to cook, so that the lighter
fluid has enough me to burn off. Starng to cook too soon can leave your food tasng like lighter
fluid. Aer ash over is complete, use long-handled tongs to spread the charcoal into a single layer
on the pan.
WARNING: Failure to read and follow instrucons for lighng charcoal may result in serious
personal injury and/or property damage.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
Allow enough me for properly building the fire and geng the grill up to desired temperature
before aempng to cook. You simply cannot cook properly in a cold grill, nor can you nurse a fire
to life while busy with the food. Both deserve your best! Once a fire is burning happily, it is easy to
keep it going with just a lile aenon. You will be pleased at how long your CHARCOAL GRILL will
burn on a lile charcoal.
Rising heat will move up and out of the grill, pulling in cooler air behind it, which provides oxygen
for the fire. Your CHARCOAL GRILL has four buerfly dampers that control airflow, which lets you
fine tune the temperature. NOTE: Dampers will become very hot aer lighng the charcoal - be sure
to wear insulated grill miduring adjustment.
Aer the fire is established and the grill reaches the desired cooking temperature, the butterfly
dampers can be lecompletely open, providing maximum airflow for a higher temperature or
closed as needed to decrease airflow for a lower temperature. Use the temperature gauge to
monitor the grill temperature.
Fully opening the upper damper on one side and fully opening the opposite lower damper (closing
the remaining dampers) will create a convecon effect inside the grill when the hood is closed. This
will allow for extended cooking mes when barbecuing.
The adjustable charcoal grate can also be used to control the temperature. Raise it to its highest
seng for quick searing and lower it to its lowest seng for slow cooking.
ADDING ADDITIONAL CHARCOAL
To achieve the extended cooking mes needed for barbecuing or slow smoking (or if you’re using
your CHARCOAL GRILL to make enough hot dogs and hamburgers to feed an army), addional
charcoal can be added through the charcoal pan access door. Lower the adjustable charcoal pan to
its lowest seng. Open the charcoal pan access door using an insulated grill mi– as the handle
can be hot. Using long-handled tongs, stoke the coals enough to allow excess ash to fall through the
charcoal pan into the slide out ash pan below. Again using insulated mis and long-handled tongs,
add charcoal to the pan as needed and close the access door. Raise the adjustable charcoal pan to
the desired level.
6

Do not use lighter fluid or instant light charcoal when adding addional charcoal to an exisng fire.
This can be dangerous, and will leave a lighter fluid aertaste on your food.
Do not aempt to empty the ash pan of burning charcoal pieces or hot ash. Wait unl the ashes and
grill have completely cooled before emptying the grill.
See the “Cooking Methods” secon for more informaon on barbecuing and slow smoking.
COOKING METHODS
You can use your GRILL to cook three different ways – depending on the type of food, and how you
want to prepare it.
GRILLING
Grilling is cooking directly over the fire, using direct heat. This method is the quickest and works
well for foods that are tender before you cook them – including steaks, beef or pork tenderloin,
burgers, hot dogs, sausages, chicken, seafood, etc. Vegetables are also wonderful when grilled.
Grilling uses very high temperatures that are over 325 ° F. When cooking at these temperatures, it is
important to carefully watch your food to keep it from burning. Also, close the lid to put out any
grease flare-up that may occur when flipping burgers or steaks.
BARBECUING
Barbecuing is cooking using indirect heat and smoke. This method takes a lile longer, but can be
used for nearly any kind of food you want to cook (including those above). As barbecuing uses lower
temperatures and longer cooking mes – this method works best for cuts of meat that need me to
tenderize – such as ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, wild game, etc.
Barbecuing uses temperatures from 225
° F to 325 ° F. Try to maintain 275 ° F for opmal results. Use
your imaginaon when barbecuing, as the possibilies are endless!
SLOW SMOKING
Slow smoking uses much lower temperatures and much longer cooking mes. Slow smoking is
actually a way to cure meats rather than cook them. Slow smoking is ideal for turkeys, chickens,
beef briskets, cheese and sausage.
Slow smoking uses temperatures that range from 140 ° F to 225 ° F. Most slow smoking recipes call for
the use of saline brine that helps preserve the meat and avoid bacterial contaminaon during the
cooking process. The temperature gauge on the outside of the hood provides an accurate reading of
the cooking temperature inside the grill firebox.

USING CHARCOAL AND WOOD
CHARCOAL
Your charcoal grill is made to burn either charcoal briquees or natural wood lump charcoal – both
of which have different cooking aributes. Briquees typically provide longer burn mes than lump
charcoal – but lump charcoal burns hoer than briquees. Using the charcoal pan access door to
add more charcoal makes both briquees and lump easy and convenient for extended cooking
mes.
SMOKING WOODS
Adding smoking woods to your charcoal grill is an easy and effecve way to create wonderful flavor
combinaons for all types of grilled, barbecued, or slow smoked foods. Wood chips are typically
used for shorter cooking mes, where chunks are beer for longer cooking mes.
When choosing smoking woods, the rule of thumb is to use a fruited hardwood – from a tree that
bears a nut, fruit, or berry. The most popular and widely available smoking woods are hickory and
mesquite. Hickory imparts a milder flavor, where mesquite is more intense. Other common wood
variees are oak, apple, pecan, cherry, etc.
It is important to never use pine, cedar, or kiln dried wood – and any smoking woods should be well
cured. Green wood sll contains all the sap and moisture needed to keep the tree alive, and will
impart a super strong-tasng smoke that will turn your foods black. Also, when you try burning
green wood, it is hard to reach a good temperature, because all the moisture inside the wood
almost puts the fire out while it’s burning. Well-cured wood lights easily, maintains cooking
temperature, and produces a great tasng smoke flavor that isn’t too strong.
The amount of smoke flavor imparted to your food can be controlled by not just the type of wood
you use (whether a mild wood or more intense), but also by the length of me the meat is smoked.
Barbecuing typically adds more smoke flavor to food than grilling, due to the longer cooking mes.
You can also control the amount of smoke flavor by wrapping meats in aluminum foil for part of the
cooking process. Cook meat for ½ to 2/3 of the total cooking me, or unl it looks to be the perfect
color. Then wrap the meat in foil and finish cooking the meat unl done.
