Assembly Instructions (continued)
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
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 Instructions
Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before
using the grill.
1. Open lid and vents.
2. Make sure bottom bowl is empty.
3. Remove cooking grid.
4. Arrange charcoal briquettes or other fuel on the
charcoal grid to the “Fill Line”. (Figure 1)
5. Light per instructions on fuel package.
6. Allow fuel time to ash into glowing coals before
cooking.
CAUTION: When using a liquid starter
always check bottom bowl before
lighting. Fluid can collect in the bottom
bowl and could ignite resulting in a fire.
CAUTION: Never add lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as
flashback may occur causing serious injury or damage to property.
Direct Cooking
Cooking directly over hot coals is ideal for searing in juices and grilling food requiring less than
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 “Lighting Instructions” section. 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 “Lighting Instructions” section. 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.
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.
