WARNINGS
DANGER
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.
When the grill is in use, maintain a clearance of at least 1m (40”) between the hot grill and
any combustible materials, such as bushes, trees, wooden decks, wooden fences,
buildings, etc. Do not place a hot grill under a roof overhang or in any other enclosed area.
The maximum weight of charcoal to be used is 4lbs (1.8kgs). Too much charcoal may
cause the surface coating to peel off.
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT operate the grill indoors or in an enclosed area
because of carbon monoxide poisoning that can lead to personal injury or death.
For household 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 lighter fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighter fluid, only use one
approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read the manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions on the charcoal lighter fluid and charcoal prior to using them. Store charcoal
lighter fluid safely away from the grill.
When using charcoal lighter fluid, allow the charcoal to burn with the grill lid and doors
open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow the charcoal
lighter fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in the
grill and may result in a flash fire or explosion when the 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.
Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or even warm coals, as flashback may occur
causing severe burns.
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with light fluid. Use only a high grade plain
charcoal or charcoal / wood mixture.
Place the grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with it. Close
supervision is necessary when the grill is in use.
Do not leave the grill unattended when in use.
When adding charcoal and / or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in the
“Adding Charcoal / Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.
Do not store or use the grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where
flammable vapours may be present.
Do not store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids or materials under the grill.
Use caution when adjusting the charcoal grate height, use oven mitts. The handle will be
hot when in use.
Never raise or lower the charcoal grate when water smoking as hot water may splash on
to coals creating a burst of hot steam and coals.
Grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:
DO NOT attempt to move the grill.
Wear protective gloves or oven mitts.
DO NOT touch any hot grill surfaces.
DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with the grill.

DANGER
When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this
should happen, close the lid to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease
fires.
Use caution when opening the lid. Keep hands, face and body a safe distance away. Flash
flare ups may occur when air comes into contact with fire or hot coals.
Do not allow charcoal and / or wood to rest on the walls of the grill. Doing so will greatly
reduce the life of the metal and finish of your grill.
Use caution during assembly and while operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from
sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution when reaching into or under the grill.
When opening the lid, be sure it is fully opened and secure to prevent it from closing
unexpectedly.
In windy weather, place the grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
Close the lid to suffocate flame.
Never leave coals and ashes in the grill unattended. Before the grill can be left
unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from the grill. Use caution to
protect yourself and property. Carefully place the remaining coals and ashes in a
non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow the coals and
water to remain in the metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and
combustible materials.
With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around the grill to extinguish
any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
After each use, clean the grill thoroughly and apply a light coat of vege oil to prevent
rusting. Cover the grill to protect it from excessive rusting.
Use caution when lifting or moving the grill to prevent strains and back injuries.
We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine
proper size and type of fire extinguisher.
Store the grill out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.
Do not attempt to services the grill other than by normal maintenance, as explained in the
“After-Use Safety”and “Proper Care & Maintenance”sections of this manual.
Properly dispose of all packaging material.
Use caution and common sense when operating your grill.
Failure to adhere to safety warnings and guidelines in this manual could result in bodily
injury or property damage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Lighting Instructions
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, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions
regarding the use of their product. Start with 4lbs (1.8kgs) of charcoal. When charcoal is burning
strong, carefully place hot coals in center of each charcoal grate.
Instruction for reference only:
1. Begin with three full sheets of newspaper.
2. Take 2 sheets of newspaper and roll each into a tube shape and then give them a little twist
to form each of them into a straight rope like shape. Be careful to not twist too tight.
3. Turn the charcoal chimney starter over and place both pieces of rolled and twisted
newspaper along the inside bottom of the charcoal chimney starter to form a complete
circle. Leave a hole in the middle of the charcoal chimney starter with no paper in it.
4. Crumple up the third sheet of newspaper into a ball. Be careful to not crumple too tight.
Sprinkle about 1 table spoon of cooking oil on the ball of newspaper. You can also use a
few sprits of cooking oil from a spray can. Don’t use too much oil. Place the ball of
cooking-oiled newspaper in the center of the charcoal chimney starter.
5. Flip the chimney over and add charcoal. Take care so that the newspaper does not fall out.
6. Use a match or long lighter to light the paper.
7. Stand back and watch the charcoal chimney starter do its stuff.
8. After charcoal has turned an ash gray color, carefully pour the charcoal onto your grill’s fire
grate.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch
the walls of grill.
IF USING LIGHTER CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 4.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use a product approved for lighting charcoal.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable materials for lighting charcoal.
Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with
4lbs (1.8kgs) of charcoal. Place the charcoal in center of each charcoal grate.

OG2280001-MM 19 of 24 20180620-Ver1
Step 2
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open and charcoal grate completely placed inside
the grill, wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighter fluid to soak into charcoal.
Store charcoal lighter fluid a safe distance from the grill.
Step 3
With the grill lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes).
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 in
grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
Step 4
Place cooking grate on the grill support lips.
WARNING
Always wear oven mitts / gloves, use lifter (not included) when remove cooking grate and / or
charcoal grate to protect your hands from burns.
Step 5
Place food on cooking grate and close grill lid. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food
is fully cooked before removing from the grill.
Step 6
Allow the 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 7 to 10 cm (3”to 4”) long and 2 to 4 cm (1”to 2”) 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.

OG2280001-MM 20 of 24 20180620-Ver1
Regulating 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.
The amount of food determines the amount of lump charcoal or charcoal briquette to
be used. Add charcoal gradually and observe the grilling temperature via the
temperature gauge. Adding too much charcoal into the grill at a time may raise the
burning temperature rapidly and cause damages to the grill.
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 the 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 lifter (not included) to lift up the cooking grate and place them
on a clean and non-combustible surface. DO NOT touch the grate by hand.
Step 3
Stand back 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 grate, being careful not to stir-up
ashes and sparks. If necessary, use your Charcoal Chimney Starter to light additional charcoal
and / or wood and add to existing fire.
WARNING
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
Step 4
When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts / gloves and carefully return the
cooking grate to grill body with lifter (not included). Extinguish any hot ashes, coals or embers
which may have fallen from the grill or beneath and around the grill.
