Operating Instructions

1. Preparing the Grill

• Charcoal Loading: Place charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal onto the charcoal grate. The foldable grill grate allows for easy addition of briquettes during cooking without removing the entire cooking surface.

• Lighting Charcoal: Use a charcoal chimney starter or appropriate fire starters to ignite the charcoal. Never use flammable liquids. Allow charcoal to ash over before spreading evenly.

2. Temperature Control

• Lid Thermometer: Monitor the internal grill temperature using the thermometer integrated into the lid.
• Air Vents: Adjust the top lid air vent and bottom air vents to control airflow and regulate cooking temperature. Opening the vents increases airflow and temperature, while closing them reduces airflow and temperature.

• Grill Grate Cleaning: After each use, once the grill has cooled, clean the cooking grate with a grill brush. For stubborn residue, soak the grate in warm, soapy water.
• Porcelain-Enamel Care: The porcelain-enameled lid and bowl are designed for durability and rust resistance. Wipe down exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
• Storage: Store the grill in a dry, covered area when not in use to protect it from weather elements.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your grill, refer to the following common solutions:

• Difficulty Lighting Charcoal: Ensure charcoal is dry. Use sufficient fire starters or a chimney starter. Check for proper airflow through bottom vents.
• Temperature Too Low/High: Adjust the top and bottom air vents to control airflow. More open vents increase temperature, more closed vents decrease it.
• Uneven Cooking: Ensure charcoal is spread evenly across the charcoal grate. Adjust food placement on the cooking grate for direct or indirect heat zones.
• Excessive Smoke: This can be normal when starting. Ensure proper airflow. If using wood chips, do not over-soak or use too many.
