Setup and Assembly

Included Components:

• Cast Iron Grates (2)
• Charcoal Tray
• Ash Pan
• Integrated Thermometer
• Adjustable Dampers

First-Time Preparation:

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit.
2. Assemble Components: Place the charcoal tray into the lower section of the grill. Position the cast iron grates on top of the charcoal tray supports. Ensure the warming rack is properly installed in the lid.
3. Seasoning (Recommended): Before first use, it is recommended to season the cast iron grates and the interior of the grill. Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to all cooking surfaces. Heat the grill with charcoal for approximately 30-60 minutes to cure the surfaces and burn off any manufacturing residues.

Operating Instructions

This charcoal grill offers a total cooking area of 354 square inches, including a 265.5 square inch grilling area and an 88 square inch warming area, capable of cooking up to 16 burgers simultaneously.

Charcoal Loading and Ignition:

• Place charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal directly onto the charcoal tray.
• Ignite the charcoal using a charcoal chimney starter or appropriate fire starters. Avoid using lighter fluid.
• Allow the charcoal to ash over (turn gray) before spreading it evenly or arranging it for direct/indirect cooking.

Temperature Control:

• Adjustable Charcoal Tray: The charcoal tray can be raised or lowered to adjust the heat intensity. Raise for higher heat (searing) and lower for slower cooking or smoking.
• Dampers: Use the adjustable dampers on the side and the chimney on the lid to control airflow. Opening the dampers increases oxygen flow, raising the temperature, while closing them reduces airflow, lowering the temperature.
• Thermometer: Monitor the internal temperature of the grill using the built-in mechanical thermometer on the lid.

The height-adjustable charcoal tray allows for precise heat control, enabling both high-heat grilling and low-and-slow smoking.

The grill supports both direct grilling (left) and indirect smoking (right) for versatile cooking options.

Cooking Tips:

• For high temperatures, keep charcoal concentrated in the middle.
• For even cooking, spread charcoal out.
• Utilize the warming rack for keeping cooked food warm or for slow cooking.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Feasto grill and ensure optimal performance.

After Each Use:

• Clean Grates: Once the grill has cooled, use a grill brush to remove any food residue from the cast iron grates.
• Empty Ash Pan: The separable ash pan makes cleaning easy. Slide out the ash pan and dispose of cooled ashes safely.
• Wipe Down Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth to remove grease and dirt.

The detachable ash tray simplifies the cleaning process by allowing easy removal of charcoal ash.

Periodic Maintenance:

• Re-season Grates: Periodically re-season the cast iron grates with cooking oil to maintain their non-stick properties and prevent rust.
• Check Components: Ensure all nuts, bolts, and moving parts (like the charcoal tray mechanism and dampers) are secure and functioning correctly.
• Storage: Store the grill in a dry, covered area when not in use to protect it from the elements and prolong its lifespan.
