Grilling
NEVER allow children or pets unattended in an area where a grill is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, certain areas of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
Leave the hood open for “Texas Style” open air grilling. Close the hood for “smoker” cooking.
For the greatest concentration of heat, leave the hood open. Adjust the crank handle to lift the charcoal tray up so the burning charcoal will be close to the grilling meat. Lower the charcoal tray to lower the grilling temperature.
