Warnings
OUTDOOR USE ONLY!
Never use grill indoors. Carbon Monoxide poisoning can lead to death. Do not operate grill
indoors or in an enclosed space.
⚫Only use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.)
capable of supporting the weight of the grill. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.
⚫DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while coals are hot.
⚫When grill is in use, keep clearance of 36” between the hot grill and any combustible materials,
such as bushes, trees, wooden decks, wooden fences, buildings, etc. Do not place hot grill under
roof overhang or in any other enclosed area.
⚫The maximum weight of charcoal to be use is 6 pounds (2.7kg). Too much charcoal may cause the
surface coating peel off.
⚫For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area because of carbon
monoxide poisoning that can lead to death.
⚫For non-commercial use only. Do not use this grill for other than its intended purpose.
⚫We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney starter to avoid the dangers associated with
charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for
lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting
fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from grill.
⚫When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid and doors open until covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure
to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid inside the grill and may result in a flash fire or
explosion when lid is opened.
⚫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.

Preparation for use & Lighting instructions
BEFORE COOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating your grill.
Step 1
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the grill (see
“Adding Charcoal/Wood during Cooking” section of this manual).
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, place lump or briquette charcoal on top of grate in chimney starter until
full. Underneath grate place balled up paper and light with match or lighter thru holes in bottom of chimney
sides. Once paper lights, fire will spread up thru charcoal until entire column is glowing red in the bottom with
ash formation on top. Pick up by handle and pour lit charcoal into grill. (Proceed to Step 4)
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of
grill.
Step 2
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for lighting charcoal.
Step 3
With grill lid open, remove the cooking grate (#20), place the charcoal tray completely inside the grill, stand
back and carefully light charcoal. Allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
Step 4
With coals burning strong, close the lid. Temperature should exceed 225°F (107°C). Maintain this temperature
for 2 hours to remove all traces of paint odor that may remain from the factory.
Step 5
Allow the unit to cool.
WARNING
Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal /wood mixture.
WARNING
Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing grill lid (approximately 20
minutes). Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid inside the grill and may result in a
flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
Page 15 of 19
WARNING
DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while
bowl contains hot coals.
Place the grill outdoors on a hard, level, non-combustible surface away from roof overhang or any
combustible material. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn. Place the grill away from
open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering your house. In windy weather, place the grill in an
outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

Operation instructions
Step 1
Lightly coat all cooking surfaces of the grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the grill (see

minutes).Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid inside the grill and may result in a
flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.

Step 6
Place food on cooking grid and close grill lid. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked
before removing from grill.
Step 7
Allow grill to cool completely, and then follow instructions in the “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care &
Maintenance” sections of this manual.
FLAVORING WOOD
To obtain your favorite smoke flavor, experiment by using chunks, sticks or chips of flavor producing wood
such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke
flavoring. Do not use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
Wood chunks or sticks 3” to 4” (7 to 10 cm) long and 1” to 2” (2 to 4 cm) thick work best. Unless the wood is
still green, soak the wood in water for 30 minutes or wrap each piece in foil and tear several small holes in the
foil to produce more smoke and prevent the wood from burning too quickly. Only a few pieces of wood are
required to obtain a good smoke flavor. A recommended amount for the grill is 5 to 6 wood chunks or sticks.
Experiment by using more wood for stronger smoke flavor or less wood for milder smoke flavor.
Additional flavoring wood should not have to be added during the cooking process. However, it may be
necessary when cooking very large pieces of food. Follow instructions and cautions in the “Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual to avoid injury while adding wood.
REGULATION HEAT
To increase heat, add more wood and/or charcoal. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During
Cooking” section of this manual.
To maintain the temperature, you may need to add more wood and/or charcoal during the cooking cycle.
NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase the ratio of wood to charcoal to
increase the cooking temperature. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an
excellent fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is seasoned and
dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
ADDING CHARCOAL/WOOD DURING COOKING
Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.
Step 1
Stand back and carefully open grill lid. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in
contact with fire.
Step 2
Wearing oven mitts/gloves, use a tool to lift up the cooking grid and place it on a clean and non-combustible
surface. DO NOT touch the grid without protection from the heat.
Operation instructions
Page 17 of 19

Step 3
Stand back at a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to lightly brush aside ashes on hot coals. Use
cooking tongs to add charcoal and/or wood to charcoal grates. Be careful to avoid over stirring of ashes as this
may cause sparks.
Step 4
When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves and carefully spread the coals for even heat.
Extinguish any hot ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen from the grill or beneath and around grill.
Carefully replace cooking grate.
AFTER-USE SAFETY
Vegetable oil provides an excellent defense against rust.
•To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered at all times when not in
use.
•Wash cooking grid and charcoal grate with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat grates with
vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
•Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable
oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.
•If rust appears on the exterior surface of your grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit
emery cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature resistant 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 rusting.
WARNING
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
