Warnings
OUTDOOR USE ONLY!
Never use grill indoors. Carbon Monoxide poisoning can lead to death. Do not operate grill
indoors or in an enclosed space.
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.
DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while coals are hot.
When grill is in use, keep clearance of 36” between the hot grill and any combustible materials,
such as bushes, trees, wooden decks, wooden fences, buildings, etc. Do not place hot grill under
roof overhang or in any other enclosed area.
The maximum weight of charcoal to be use is 6 pounds (2.7kg) for main grill, 4.4 pounds (2kg) for
side fire box. Too much charcoal may cause the surface coating peel off.
For outdoor use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed area because of carbon
monoxide poisoning that can lead to death.
For non-commercial 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 lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for
lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting
fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from grill.
When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with grill lid and doors open until covered
with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure
to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid inside the grill and may result in a flash fire or
explosion when 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 lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
Place grill in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close
supervision is necessary when grill is in use.
Do not leave grill unattended when in use.
Do not store or use grill near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable
vapors may be present.
Do not store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids or materials under the grill.
Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal / wood mixture.
When adding charcoal and / or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding
Charcoal / Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.
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 grill.

When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should
happen close lid to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.
