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 the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of the
unit with a cloth or paper towels.
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
• Most surfaces on this unit are hot when in use.
Use extreme caution. Keep others away from
unit. Always wear protective clothing to prevent
injury.
• Keep children and pets away.
• Do not move this unit during operation.
• Never substitute gasoline, kerosene or alcohol
for charcoal starter. In some states, the use of
charcoal starter is prohibited by law. In this
case, paraffin-based starter cubes can be
substituted for charcoal starter. Never use
charcoal starter fluid with an electric starter.
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.
?Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil.
?Build a small fire on the ash pan, being sure not to lay coals against the walls.
?Close lid, position butterfly dampers at approximately one quarter turn open. This burn should be sustained for at least
two hours. Begin increasing the temperature by opening the butterfly dampers 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 the 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 GRILL!
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 briquettes) and adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing the
fire to burn down, place the cooking grate on the unit. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may
result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
