We recommend placing your preferred fuel in the cooking chamber and allowing a fire to fully burn
before your first cook. This will act as a burn in for your grill. Below are a list of fuel burning and
lighting methods for your WyldSide.
Chimney Starter Method
Use hardwood chunks and light them in the chimney starter, just as you would charcoal.
Teepee Method
Build a small teepee of kindling over a ball or twist of loosely crumpled newspaper and/or fire
starter, leaving enough space in the front to insert a match. Build a larger teepee of sticks over the
first teepee, again leaving a space in the front. Finally, build a third teepee of lump hardwood over
the first two. Using a long match, light the newspaper.
Log Cabin Method
Build a small box of kindling, as you would a log cabin, over a ball of loosely crumpled newspaper
and/or fire starter. Build larger boxes of kindling, sticks, and split logs around it. Light the newspaper
with a long match.
Charcoal Method
Start with a mound of lit charcoals. Arrange your wood kindling first, then lump hardwood - on top.
Lighting Procedure
Tips, Tricks, and Temps
Operating Blower Fan
When starting up your WyldSide, you’ll want to turn the dial up on your blower fan to get a fire
started quickly and efficiently. For a lower, more controlled flame, turn the dial down. This variable
speed blower fan will allow you to adjust airflow on the fly for whatever size flame your meal may
call for.
Fuel Information
With the introduction of the WyldSide, we have entered the realm of cooking over a direct flame.
This Argentina style grill can be used with charcoal, hardwood, and wood chunks, among many
other different fuel sources. We recommend using lump hardwood for a more consistent burn.
Tips and Tricks
• Clean your grill regularly to maintain beauty and proper function. It is advised to clean before
any long cook.
• Always use grill on a level surface.
• Not all fuel is created equal; always use high quality fuel when cooking.
• Always store fuel in a dry area.
• Get to know your grill, keep good cooking notes. This will help with consistency.

Tips, Tricks, and Temps
• Practice makes perfect.
• Always allow your meat to rest before serving.
• Always keep your cooking area clean.
• Wind can cool your grill temperature.
• Always preheat grill to desired temperature before use.
• Wipe off stainless steel surfaces before preheating; dirt and food stains can cook into surface.
• Leave at least one inch of clearance between food for even cooks (crowded foods will take
longer to cook).
• Foods cooked on pans or in containers will require more time than foods cooked directly on
grates.
• Use an instant read thermometer to determine meat-doneness; never rely on time.
• Know your food’s internal temperature!
• Use long handled tongs and spatulas for turning meats; do not use plastic utensils.
• Injecting, mopping, and spritzing are great ways to keep meat from drying out.
• When going low and slow, plan for the possibility of your meat to stall; larger pieces of meat
tend to take longer from 160°F-180°F. Be patient.
• Never unplug your grill to turn it off.
Temperatures
Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red
meats - including pork - can be pink, even when the meat has reached a safe internal temperature.
After you remove the meat from your grill, allow it to rest for a specified amount of time. During the
rest time, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys harmful bacteria.
• Hot foods should be held warmer than 140°F.
• Cold foods should be held below 40°F.
• Perishable food should not be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature - 1 hour when
the temperature is above 90°F.
• Always follow food safety guidelines provided by the USDA.
Maintenance & Cleaning
• Clean your cooking chamber after every cook to ensure proper airflow.
• Use a grill brush to clean your cooking grates after every cook to provide years of trouble free
use from them.
• Use a mild soap and water to clean the exterior of your grill.
• If left in exposed area, keep your grill unplugged when not in use.
• Never let your fuel get wet.
• For a superior cleaning and shine, clean your grill’s outside surfaces when completely cooled.
Transportation and Storage
Ensure that the unit is cool. Remove the grates and make sure no unburnt fuel remains in the cooking
chamber.
Store in a dry, safe place.
Never store the grill in a small space or place in a vehicle unless completely cool and fire is verified
as extinguished. Never move the grill while it is still hot. Never move the grill without assistance.
