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.

1. Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil.

2. Build a small fire on thefire grate, being sure not to lay coals against the walls. With the lid open allow the coals to become fully lit (12-15 minutes)

3.Close lid. Position vents at approximately one quarter open. This burn should be sustained for at least Two hours. Begin increasing temperature by opening the vents 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 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 OF THE UNIT!

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 60 briquets) and adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grill in the unit. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may result in serious personal injury and or property damage.

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 unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of unit with cloth or paper towel.

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 of the 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

Always open lid BEFORE opening the ash door to check fire or fuel.

Always open the ash door slowly. Never attempt to look inside the grill while opening the ash door when the grill is in use.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

Unburned gas can accumulate and cause a flash fire if the lid is not opened first.
