1. COOKING GRID...After the charcoal is covered in light
gray ash and is arranged in the required pattern, install the
cooking grid. Use barbecue mitts for handling. You can tilt
the grid front to back by taking the grid off of the rear grid
bracket and lay grid against back of bowl. This will cook the
meat faster. Tilt grid before putting any food on the grid, or
remove the food from the grid before tilting.
2. ADJUSTABLE DRAFT...Leave the hood and bowl vents
open for the most heat. Close the vents partially to lower
the heat. It takes a few minutes for the charcoal to react to
the vent adjustment.
3. SMOKING...For true smoke flavor, use chips or chunks of
wood from nut or fruit trees such as hickory, walnut, cherry
or apple. Soak the chips in water overnight so they will not
burn when you put them on the charcoal.
When you are ready to cook, put the soaked chips on
top of the hot charcoal using long handled tongs. Place the
meat on the grid and close the hood.
Continue adding chips while the meat cooks to maintain
the appropriate amount of smoke. Smoking is a very slow
process. Therefore, allow plenty of cooking time.
4. FLARE-UP...Close all the vents for at least one minute to
stop flare-up. DO NOT use water to extinguish a grease fire.
5. PUTTING OUT THE CHARCOAL...Save your charcoal to
use again by closing the hood and all the vents. The char-
coal will be put out in just a little while and the next time you
cook, you will need to add less new charcoal.
Regularly clean your charcoal grill between uses.
1. Ashes/Ash Pan...Remove the ashes, when possible,
after each time you cook. Wait until the charcoal and grill
have cooled, and pour out the ashes. You can save the
larger pieces of charcoal for use next time you cook. Use a
garden hose to wash out accumulated grease and ashes
from the grill and/or ash pan.
2. Cooking grid...Use a detergent and hot water solution
just as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff brush
may be helpful in removing heavy grease deposits.
3. Hood and Bowl...Dampen a cloth in hot water and a
detergent solution. Then, wipe both the inside and outside
of the hood and bowl. You do not have to remove all of the
grease from bowl, some remaining grease that burns during
cooking will help season the grill and give food it’s barbecue
flavor. Wipe all areas dry before storing. Note: Do not use
oven cleaner or abrasive cleaner on your Aussie
® grill.
This may cause damage to the paint finish.
If rust appears on your grill, clean and buff the affected area
with steel wool. Touch up bare metal with a high heat paint
specified for barbecue grills. Follow paint manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
1. Remove the cooking grid. Rub with a light coat of cooking
oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Store wrapped grid back into
the grill. You may also wrap the ash pan in foil.
2. Store charcoal and lighter fluid away from the grill.
3. After you have cleaned your grill, store it in a clean, dry
area. If you store your grill outside, close the top vent to keep
the rain out but leave the bottom vents open.
4. Place a grill cover over the grill and store it outdoors. Store
charcoal and lighter fluid separately and outdoors.
5. Before next use, remove aluminum foil from grid and ash
pan and re-install in grill.

ROASTING (INDIRECT COOKING)
GRILLING (DIRECT COOKING)
FOR GRILLING (DIRECT COOKING)...
use barbecue mitts and long-handled tongs to arrange the
charcoal in a checkerboard pattern. Leave about one-half
inch of space between each piece of charcoal. This will
help you to avoid flare-up from the meat drippings and will
give you the even heat needed for grilling.
FOR ROASTING (INDIRECT COOKING)...
such as roasting large pieces of meat on the grid, use or
make an aluminum foil pan about an inch larger all around
than the piece of meat to catch the drippings. Put the pan
directly under the meat and surround it with charcoal. Most
indirect cooking takes a longer time to cook than direct.
To reduce the risk of death, serious bodily injury, or
property damage:
· Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning,
moving or putting on a grill cover.
· Empty and clean the ash pan so excessive grease
and ashes do not accumulate. Let the grill and pan
cool for 48 hours before cleaning.
· To avoid cut, pinching, or other bodily injury, wear
protective gloves when handling or cleaning parts.
· Do not clean any grill part in a self cleaning oven.
· Do not store a charcoal grill while it is hot.
· Do not store grill, charcoal, or lighter fluid indoors.
Store it outdoors in a cool dry place.
· Store your grill and fuel out of the reach of children.
· To avoid a fire or explosion, do not store charcoal or
lighter fluid near a heat source.
· Follow fuel manufacturer’s instructions regarding
use, care, and storage of fuel.
