WOOD STONE MOUNT SHUKSAN CHARBROILER
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING MANUAL
UNLOADING THE MOUNT SHUKSAN
Our standard Charbroiler weighs 1000 lbs. Under no circumstances should manual unloading be attempted. If a receiving
dock is available, a pallet jack should be sufficient to remove the crated unit from the delivery truck. The use of a forklift
(2000 lb.) is suggested when moving the unit from the delivery truck to ground level.
FLOOR: The Mount Shuksan should be installed on a non-combustible floor extending 3 ft. in all directions from the
appliance, or one provided with a non-combustible covering acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.
WALLS AND CEILING: Combustible and limited-combustible surfaces or construction within 3 ft. of the sides or 6 ft.
above a solid fuel cooking appliance shall be protected in a manner acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.
Hood and Ductwork must be manufactured and installed in accordance with NFPA 96 and all relevant local and national
code requirements for solid fuel appliances. We recommend an exhaust hood, constructed and installed in accordance
with NFPA 96. As with all solid fuel cooking equipment and exhaust systems, A REGULAR INSPECTION AND CLEANING
SCHEDULE IS NEEDED TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE. The frequency of inspection and cleaning will depend
on hours of use and type and quality of fuelwood. A fire protection system is required for safe installation of this piece of
equipment, refer to national and local codes for solid fuel cooking equipment.

the Fire
THE FIRE
Start a fire in the refractory firebox using small pieces of kindling at first and progressing to larger pieces of wood as
the fire takes. As more wood is added, spread some the coals around the bottom of the firebox. After about an hour, the
firebox should be full of coals and occasional addition of wood will keep the firebox charged with heat. The unit comes
with movable grill grates, we suggest leaving one grate off and sliding that open position around to facilitate spreading
the coals.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal starter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
freshen a fire! Keep all such flammable liquids well away from Charbroiler while it is in use!
WOOD
Use only well seasoned hardwood to fuel the Charbroiler. The wood should have a moisture content less than 15%. For
best results, pieces should be split so that the diameter does not exceed 2 or 3 inches. See Wood Stone’s Fuelwood
Facts Sheet at the end of this manual.
ASH DISPOSAL
Place ashes into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. They should be
retained in the closed container until all the cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes can then be disposed of safely (See
Wood Stone’s Ash Dolly specification sheet).

CleaninG
CHARBROILER CABINET
All exposed stainless surfaces of the unit should be wiped down as necessary (or daily) using an approved mild cleaning
solution. Stubborn residues may be removed using a non-metallic scouring pad. When scouring stainless steel, scrub
with the grain of the metal to avoid scratching the finish.
CHARBROILER GRILL
Scrub the cast iron grill grates (as necessary) with a wire brush to remove cooked on build-up. The stainless grill support
rack can be removed and cleaned using hot water and an approved mild detergent.
CERAMIC FIREBOX
Remove excess ash from the firebox using the stainless shovel provided. NEVER POUR WATER INTO THE
CERAMIC FIREBOX.

FuelWood FaCtS
WHAT TYPE OF WOOD SHOULD YOU USE TO FIRE YOUR SOLID FUEL COOKING EQUIPMENT?
The answer to this question depends on several considerations: geographical location, availability and relative cost of
various fuelwood species and individual preferences regarding the flavor qualities of various wood types. There are a
wide variety of good fuelwood species in all geographic locations. Each species of wood has different characteristics.
The table below should help weigh the pros and cons of various types of wood. Wood from conifers (pine trees) is not
recommended due to its poor fuelwood characteristics (low weight, low-med heat, poor coaling, high sparking and
high residual creosote).
Whichever type of wood you use, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE MOISTURE CONTENT. Properly seasoned wood contains 20%
moisture or less. If wood contains more than 20% moisture, it should not be accepted for use. Wood should be stored off the
ground and out of the rain in an environment that allows good air circulation so that the drying process can continue. Wet wood is
the most common operational difficulty associated with wood-fired cooking equipment. Wood Stone’s moisture meter can prevent
you from paying for water when you thought you were paying for wood (see optional accessories).

Calculate your approximate monthly, daily and hourly fuel-wood costs using the following formulas:
The cost of well-seasoned hardwood varies greatly with geographical location.
Cost per month = A x C Cost per day = A x C Cost per hour = A x C

A = Cost/Cord (from wood supplier)
B = lbs./Cord (from above table)
C = Cords/Month (from experience, or call Wood Stone for an estimate
When burned, all wood releases approximately 6500 BTU’s/lb. so it is better to compare the price of
wood by the pound rather than by the cord. A full cord of wood measures 4’ x 4’ x 8’ when stacked.
