Operating Instructions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use only a high grade plain charcoal, charcoal/wood mixture, lump

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

charcoal or cooking wood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Use

 

 

13

Attach Lid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Remove manufacturing oils before cooking on this grill for the first time, by operating the

 

 

 

 

 

 

grill for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dissipate odors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lighting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

using the grill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure ash catcher is empty and

securely and completely in place before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

using the grill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Open lid and vents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Make sure ash receiver is empty and secure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Remove cooking grid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Lower the adjustable charcoal grid to the lowest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Arrange charcoal briquettes or other fuel on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

charcoal grid to the “Fill Line”. (Figure 1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Light per instructions on fuel package.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Allow fuel time to ash into glowing coals before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cooking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: When using a liquid starter always check ash catcher before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lighting. Fluid can collect in the ash receiver and could ignite resulting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in a fire below the bowl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: Never add lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

flashback may occur causing serious injury or damage to property.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adjustable Charcoal Grid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The patented adjustable charcoal grid allows you to easily adjust the temperature of your grill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To raise the charcoal grid and grill your food at a higher temperature, turn the knob to the right

(clockwise).

 

 

 

 

To lower the charcoal grid and grill your food at a lower temperature, turn the knob to the left

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(counterclockwise).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Direct Cooking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cooking directly over hot coals is ideal for searing in juices and grilling food requiring less than

Insert Warming Rack

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

25 minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken parts, vegetables

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and fruit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Open lid and remove cooking grid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Load and light charcoal per charcoal manufacturer’s instructions. Leave lid open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals evenly across charcoal grid with a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

long handle tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. While wearing protective gloves replace cooking grid, close lid and allow grill to preheat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. While wearing protective gloves open lid and place food onto cooking grids above the hot

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

coals with long handle tongs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If additional briquettes are needed, remove food from cooking grid and while wearing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

protective gloves remove the cooking grid and place additional briquettes without disturbing the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hot coals. Carefully replace cooking grid and food.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Allow charcoal to burn out by closing lid and all vents. Except in the case of an emergency,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

do NOT pour water on hot coals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indirect Cooking

Not cooking directly over hot coals is ideal for slow cooking and grilling foods requiring more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

than 25 minutes such as most roasts, loins, chops, whole chickens, turkey, fish and baked

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

goods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Open lid and remove cooking grid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Load and light charcoal per charcoal manufacturer’s instructions. Leave lid open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals to the outsides of charcoal grid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with a long handle tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. While wearing protective gloves replace cooking grid, close lid and allow grill to preheat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Wear protective gloves to open lid. Use long handled tools to place food onto cooking grids

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

above the areas without hot coals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. With lid closed, cook until desired internal food temperatures are achieved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If additional briquettes are needed, remove food from cooking grid and while wearing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

protective gloves remove the cooking grid and place additional briquettes without disturbing the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hot coals. Carefully replace cooking grid and food.
