Step 5 With coals burning strong, close the lid. Allow the temperature to reach 225°F (107°C) on temperature gauge. Maintain this temperature for 2 hours.

Step 6 Increase the temperature to 400°F (205°C) on temperature gauge. This can be achieved by adding more charcoal and/or wood (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking“ section of this manual). Maintain this temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.

NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.

Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking

Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.

Step 1 Stand back and carefully open grill lid. Use caution since flames can flare-upwhen fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire.

Step 2 Wearing oven mitts/gloves, adjust the hanger so that the charcoal grate will be on the lowest level of Grill Body. Use lifter to lift up the cooking grid and place it on a clean and non-combustible surface. DO NOT touch the grid by hand.

Step 3 Stand back a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to lightly brush aside ashes on hot coals. Use cooking tongs to add charcoal and/or wood to charcoal grates, being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks. If necessary, use your Charcoal Chimney Starter to light additional charcoal and/or wood and add to existing fire.

WARNING

Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

Step 4 When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves and carefully return charcoal grates to Grill body with lifter. Extinguish any hot ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen from the grill or beneath and around grill.
