GRILL MAINTENANCE
Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the grill is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before
cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of the
unit with a cloth or paper towels.
When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out all remaining ashes.Ashes collect moisture, which
can lead to premature rusting and decay. Periodically coating the interior surfaces with vegetable oil will aid in the protection
of your unit.Also, occasional touch up of the exterior paint will be required. Black, high-temperature spray paint is
recommended. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OFTHE UNIT.
Cooking Surface: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
WARNING
• Most surfaces on this unit are hot when in use.
Use extreme caution. Keep others away from
unit. Always wear protective clothing to prevent
injury.
• Keep children and pets away.
• Do not move this unit during operation.
• Never substitute gasoline, kerosene or alcohol

charcoal starter fluid with an electric starter.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
Before cooking with your grill, the following steps should be closely followed to both cure the finish and season the interior
steel. Failure to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to your first foods.
?Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil.
?Build a small fire on the ash pan, being sure not to lay coals against the walls.
?Close lid, position butterfly dampers at approximately one quarter turn open. This burn should be sustained for at least
two hours. Begin increasing the temperature by opening the butterfly dampers halfway and adding more charcoal. Your
grill is now ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a light coat of vegetable oil on the interior surfaces will aid in the
protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill may need occasional touch up. We recommend the use of
commercially available black high temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OFTHE GRILL!
GRILLING
Charcoal is recommended, however, wood or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source for grilling with the
fuel source placed and ignited on the ash pan. Do not build too large of a fire. We recommend starting a fire with no more
than 4 pounds of charcoal (approximately 50-60 briquettes) and adding more as needed during cooking.After allowing
the fire to burn down, place the cooking grate on the unit. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may
result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

Building Your Fire
1.) Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate
or ash pan. We recommend using 4 pounds (approximately 50 - 60 briquettes) to start your
fire, adding more as needed.
2.) If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for
approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire
starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3.) After allowing the lighter fluid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquettes in several
locations to ensure an even burn. Always light the fire with the grill lid open.
Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal
lighter fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened.
4.) Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing
injury.
5.) You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes over and produces a red
glow (approximately 12 – 15 minutes).
6.) Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly
across the charcoal grate using a long-handled poker.
*Always use caution when handling hot coals to prevent injury.
Know When Your Fire is Ready
Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule for knowing when your coals
are ready for grilling is to make sure that 80 percent or more of the coals are ashy gray. If you
have less than that, the coals are not ready, and if all of them are glowing red hot, the fire is
probably too hot. Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the temperature of your fire:
- If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire less intense.
- Raise or lower the adjustable charcoal grate.
- Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
- Use the indirect grilling method, with coals to either side of a drip pan and the food over the
pan rather than directly over the coals.
- In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a squirt bottle. Be
careful, spraying with water tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.
- Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash
over before adding more.
COOKING TIPS
Page 4

Direct and Indirect Grilling
Direct Grilling - For most grilling, the ignited coals are spread in a single layer under the food. This
is called direct grilling and is appropriate for relatively quick-cooking items such as hamburgers,
steaks and most seafood. The single layer of coals emits even, steady heat, whether the grill lid is
open or closed, and represents the way most people grill. For more control, pile some of the coals
on one side of the grill where they will emit intense heat. You can move the food around on the grill,
setting it over the very hot coals when you want to sear it or when a thick piece needs to cook a
little more quickly. You can also use the adjustable charcoal grate and dampers to control the
temperature in your grill.
Indirect Grilling - For items that take longer to cook, you will want to use indirect grilling. This
method is for long, slow cooking in a covered grill. For indirect cooking, the coals are piled two or
three coals deep on one side of the grill, or divided and piled on two sides. This leaves an empty
space next to the coals or between them. Food cooked over indirect heat is often started over
direct heat and then moved to the cooler (empty) part of the grill for even, slow cooking. To make
the heat as even as possible, construct two piles of coals. It is common to place a metal drip pan in
the empty space beside or between the coals, which is filled with water, wine, beer, broth, or a
combination. Place the food directly over the drip pan. This injects a little extra moisture into the
cooking environment and also catches dripping juices, which makes clean-up a little easier and
reduces the possibility of flare-ups. (Remember to keep a spray bottle filled with water on hand to
extinguish any flare-ups.) Once you get used to the indirect method, you may prefer to use it for
more grilling tasks. Although it may take a little longer, it is an excellent cooking method and a sure
way to prevent the food from burning and to promote even cooking.
Grilling with Wood Chips/Wood Chunks
For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood
chips or several wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors,
and can be used alone or in addition to charcoal. As a general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit
or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have very different tastes. Experiment with
different woods to determine your personal favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or
fresh-cut wood can turn food black, and tastes bitter.
