STEP 4
Use a large spatula or other tool
whenever moving the cooking
grate to refill the tray with more
coals.
Cover the coals with the cooking
grate before ignition or pre-
heating the grill. Follow the
lighting instructions in your Grill
manual. Quick-Lighting coals, or
lighter fluid is not necessary.
The gas burner can be left on
HIGH for about 5 minutes.
When the edges of the coals
begin to turn white, you may
shut off the gas burner. The
coals will continue to heat / turn
white.
At this point, it will be up to
you to determine when proper
cooking temperature has been
reached for the food you are
preparing (cooking directly over
coals, indirect cooking, etc.).
NOTES
Use a large spatula or other tool whenever moving the hot cooking grate to refill the tray with more
coals.
REMEMBER THE GRATES, TRAY, AND REMOVABLE TRAY INSERT ARE ALL VERY HOT. TOUCHING
THESE ITEMS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS. ALLOW THE ENTIRE GRILL AND TRAY TO
COOL COMPLETELY, BEFORE REMOVING THE TRAY TO PROPERLY DISPOSE OF COALS OR ASH
IN A FIREPROOF CONTAINER.
Be sure to return the radiant tray to the grill if you are no longer using the Charcoal Tray accessory. The
gas burners should never be run without the radiant trays to protect the burner ports from clogging with
food debris.
