GRILL MAINTENANCE CONT...
COOKING GRIDS
When new, wash thoroughly with warm soapy water, place back in the smoker and “Preheat” the grill for 20 to 30 minutes.
After the completion of grilling, open the lid and with a long handle grill cleaning brush, give the grids a thorough cleaning.
If you do not have a cleaning brush use long handle tongs and a balled up piece of aluminium foil wrap. Next turn the grill
to “high” or “preheat” until only an occasional wisp of smoke is seen (about 5 minutes). This will remove most of the
material that builds up on the cooking grids.
The next time you grill allow the smoker to preheat for 10 – 15 minutes to complete the cleaning cycle. Give the grids a
quick wipe down with your cleaning brush. Applying a thin coating of oil on the grids before placing your meat on them will
also decrease your cleaning time, as well as allowing to move your food easily without sticking and tearing.
COVER-UP
Your Louisiana Grill cover will help in protecting your grill from the detrimental effects
of weather and outside pollutants. As with any outdoor product, however, a cover is
only as good as the maintenance given to the grill. Following the recommended
maintenance included in this manual will add greatly to the life of your grill.
Helpful Hints
DO’s

DO’s
• Keep your Country Smoker cover clean. This is your best protection against
mildew which will form on any dirt or foreign material allowed to accumulate on
tops or bottoms of fabric. Use a cleaner such as Armor-All, or a product that
will not only clean but also protect.
• Have any small tears or punctures repaired promptly.
• Keep away from pets.
• Keep all shrubs and vines away from your grill cover as many plants contain acids, which harm fabrics.
DO NOT

DO NOT
• Cover your grill while the grill is still hot
• Store anything on the top of your grill cover.
• Permit leaves, twigs or other organic debris to remain on the cover for long periods of time
• Use high-pressure hoses or steam to clean.
• Use wire or stiff brushes, harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners or chlorine on your grill cover.
“ARCHED FLAVOR GUARD”
This requires very little work, because of its construction and the type of material used. From time to time you may need to
brush off any burnt leftover. The best time to clean and inspect is when you perform the initial set-up procedures after
every 1 to 3 uses.
To speed up cleaning we recommend that you line the Arched Flavor Guard with aluminium foil. This foil should be
replaced after each use.
The grease channels do need to be cleaned from time to time to eliminate build-up and allow the grease to flow freely to
the grease catch area.
THE COOKING BARREL
To start the season right, then maybe 2 to 3 times during the grilling season, it is recommended to remove the Arched
Flavor Guard, Burn Grate and Burn Pot, to remove any ash build-up or burn debris that has accumulated. Make sure the
grill is COMPLETELY COLD before using your shop vacuum or before scooping out and disposing of the ashes.
You may want to use hot water and a de-greaser to clean the entire inside of the barrel. This does reduce grease build-up
and the possibilities of flare ups.
To aid in cleaning, it is recommended to line the bottom of the barrel with aluminium foil. Starting tight from the burn side
of the barrel to the grease catch area. Then re-install the Burn Pot and Burn Grate.
