How to use your charcoal kettle
Before light
Choose a proper location to grill
lOnly use this charcoal kettle in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway, or any other enclosed area.
lKeep the charcoal kettle on a secure, level surface at all times.
lDo not use charcoal kettle within five feet of any combustible material. Combustible
materials include, but are not limited to, wood or treated wood decks, patios, and
porches.
Preparing the charcoal kettle for lighting
1. Remove the lid and position it on the side of your charcoal kettle using either the lid
hook located on the inside of the lid.
2. Remove the cooking (top) grate from your charcoal kettle.
3. Remove the charcoal (bottom) grate and clear ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the
bottom of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure that nothing clogs the
vents.
4. Release the ash catcher, then dispose of the ashes.
5. Open bowl vent by moving the handle to the open position.
6. Replace charcoal (bottom) grate.
Lighting Charcoal
1. Light the charcoal using newspaper or other paper.
2. Light the charcoal using lighter cubes.
Warning: Please read the following instructions carefully before attempting to
assemble, operate or install the product. The charcoal kettle becomes extremely
hot and can cause burning. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
serious bodily injury.
Note: Remove all packaging,including straps,before using the charcoal kettle.

Tips and tricks for grilling success
Wear Gloves
Always wear a barbecue mitt or mitts when using your charcoal grill. Vents, dampers,
handles, and the bowl will all get hot during the grilling process, so be sure to keep your
hands and forearms protected.
Keep the air flowing
A charcoal fire needs air. The lid should be closed as much as possible, but keep the lid
damper and bowl vent open. Remove the ashes on the bottom of the grill regularly to prevent
them from blocking the vents.
Put a lid on it
For four important reasons the lid should be closed as much as possible.
1.Keeps the grate hot enough to sear the food.
2.Speeds up the cooking time and prevents the food from drying out.
3.Traps the smokiness that develops when fat and juices vaporize in the charcoal kettle.
4.Prevents flare-ups by limiting oxygen.
Tame the flam e
Flare-ups happen, which is good because they sear the surface of what you are grilling,
however too many flare-ups can burn your food. Keep the lid on as much as possible. This
limits the amount of oxygen inside the grill, which will help extinguish any
flare-ups. If the flames are getting out of control, move the food over indirect heat temporarily
until they die down.
Watch the time and temperature
If you are grilling in a colder climate or in a higher altitude, the cooking times will be longer. If
the wind is blowing hard it will raise a charcoal kettle’s temperature, so always keep
close to your charcoal kettle and remember to keep the lid on as much as possible so that
the heat does not escape.

Grilling Methods
Grilling with direct heat
Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of
food that takes less than 20minutes to cook, such
as:
lHamburgers
lSteaks
lChops
lKabobs
lBoneless chicken pieces
lFish fillets
lShellfish
lSliced vegetables
With direct heat, the fire is right below the food. It
sears the surfaces of the food, developing flavors,
texture and delicious caramelization while it also
cooks the food all the way to the center.
Arrange the charcoal for direct heat
1.Put on barbecue mitts or gloves.
2.After the charcoal is fully fit, spread them evenly
across the charcoal grate with long tongs.
3.Replace the cooking grate.
4.Place the lid on the grill.
5.Open the lid damper.
6.Preheat the grid for approximately 10 to15
minutes.
7.Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a
stainless steel bristle grill brush, clean the cooking
grate.
8.Open the lid and place your food on the grate.
9.Place the lid on the grill.
Grillling with indirect heat
Use the indirect method for larger cuts of
meat that require 20minutes or more of
grilling time, or for foods so delicate that
direct exposure to the heat would dry them
out or scorch them, such as:
lRoasts
lBone-in poultry pieces
lWhole fish
lDelicate fish fillets
lWhole chickens
lTurkeys
lRibs
With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides
of the charcoal kettle or off to one side of
the grill. The food sits over the unlit part on
the cooking grate.
Arrange the charcoal for indirect heat
1.Put on barbecue mitts or gloves.
2.After the charcoal is fully fit, with long
tongs, arrange the charcoal so that they will
be set on either side of the food. Position
the charcoal on the side of the bowls
opposite the handles. A drip pan may be
placed between the charcoal to collect
drippings.
3.Replace the cooking grate.

Cleaning
Follow a few basic maintenance instructions to keep your grill looking and grilling better for
years to come!
lFor proper air flow and better grilling, remove accumulated ashes and old charcoal from
the bottom of the kettle and the ash catcher before use. Make sure that all of the
charcoal is fully extinguished and the grill is cool before doing so.
lYou may notice "paint-like” flakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke
vapors slowly oxidize into carton and deposit on the inside of your lid. Brush the
carbonized grease from the inside of the lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush. To
minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a paper towel after
cooking while the grill is still warm(not hot).
lIf your grill is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the
outside more often. Acid rain, chemicals and salt water can cause surface rusting to
appear. Megamaster recommends wiping down the outside of your grill with warm soapy
water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying.
lDo not use sharp objects or abrasive cleaners to clean the surfaces of your grill.
Arrange the charcoal for indirect heat
4. Place the lid on the grill. The charcoal kettle has a thermometer, always position the lid so
that the thermometer is not above the charcoal where it will be exposed to direct heat.
5. Open the lid damper.
6. Preheat the grate for approximately 10 to15 minutes.
7. Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, clean the
cooking grate.
8. Open the lid and place your food on the grate.
9. Place the lid on the grill.
Note: When removing the charcoal kettle lid during cooking, lift to the side, rather than
straight up. Lifting straight up may create suction, drawing ashes up onto your food.
