WARNING
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.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating your grill.
PREPARATION FOR USE & LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Curing your grill
Prior to your first use of the Grill, follow the instructions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will minimize
damage to the exterior finish as well as get rid of the grill paint odor that can cause unnatural flavors to the first meal
prepared on the grill.
IMPORTANT: To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered at all
times when not in use.
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal grate, grids or
charcoal ash tray.
Step 2
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).
WARNING
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal
/wood mixture.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 5 pounds (2.3kg) of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process
has been completed. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place hot coals on charcoal grate.

If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use
gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10 pounds (3.6 to 4.5 kg) of charcoal. This should be
enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed. Place the charcoal in the center of each
charcoal grate.
Step 3
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open, wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal.

when lid is opened.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow the temperature to reach 225°F (107°C) on temperature gauge. Maintain
this temperature for 2 hours.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to 400°F (205°C) on temperature gauge. This can be achieved by adding more charcoal
and/or wood (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking“ section of this manual). Maintain this temperature for 1
hour then allow unit to cool completely.
