®

!
Prior to the first use, follow these 3 steps to cure the
finish as well as rid the grill of paint odor.
Close the air vents and lightly coat ALL
INTERIOR surfaces of the firebox, ash tray,
cooking chamber and lid with vegetable oil
or vegetable oil spray.
STEP 1:
STEP 2: Start the first fire with 3-6 lbs of charcoal in
the firebox. Adjust the vent dampers to 1/2
open.
STEP 3: Maintain the fire for 1 hour, try to keep the
temperature around 300 degrees. After 1
hour, allow the grill to cool completely.
Note: It is important not to scrape or rub
any surface during the curing process.
The grill is ready to be used after the cure process
has been completed.
Please read all steps before cooking.

TO THESE INTERIOR AREAS
1. Pour the desired amount (3-6 lbs.) of charcoal onto the
charcoal grates and light charcoal according to the charcoal
manufacturer instructions.
2. Adjust all vents to full open and keep the lid open.
3. After the flames have disappeared from the charcoal, close
the lid and front doors, keep all vents full open.
4. After about 10-15 minutes, check the charcoal to see that it
has ashed over (turned gray) and the initial starter odors are
gone.
5. Adjust the charcoal or spread the charcoal evenly across the
charcoal grate if necessary.
The adjustable charcoal grate can be moved to within a
few inches of the cooking grate allowing you to sear the
meat and lock in the juices. Searing takes only a few
minutes on each side. Don't allow the meat or food to
burn. After searing, crank the charcoal grate back down
from the top and cook the food to your personal
preference.
TipOPTIONAL: If preferred, wood chunks can be added to the fire at
this time for flavor and smoke. The smoke will be heavy at first
and after a short while will burn with less smoke. The
temperature will spike when the wood is first added. As a general
rule, you will need to add more wood when the temperature drops
below 250 degrees. Do not use more than 2 or 3 wood chunks at
a time. DO NOT ALLOW THE WOOD CHUNKS TO TOUCH OR
COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY SIDE PANEL. Keep wood chunks
inside the charcoal grate frame.
6. The optimum cooking temperature is 300~350 degrees. The
vents may need to be adjusted more open or more closed for
the desired temperature. The type charcoal and the climate
conditions can affect the grill temperature.
7. Carefully wipe the cooking grate surfaces with vegetable oil
to keep the food from sticking.
8. Add meat and food as desired to the cooking grates. Cook
food to your personal preference.
