Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Assemble Base: Place the solid wood base on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
- Position Fuel Holder: Place the fuel holder securely within the designated area of the wood base.
- Place Grill Plate: Carefully set the cast iron grill plate on top of the wood base, ensuring it is stable and centered over the fuel holder.
- First Use Preparation: Before first use, wash the grill plate with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. Season the cast iron grill plate according to standard cast iron seasoning procedures (apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat).
Operating Instructions
- Add Fuel: Place appropriate solid fuel (e.g., gel fuel canister, small charcoal briquettes) into the fuel holder. Do not overfill.
- Light Fuel: Carefully light the fuel using a long lighter or match.
- Preheat Grill: Allow the grill plate to preheat for 5-10 minutes, or until it reaches the desired cooking temperature.
- Grill Food: Place food directly onto the hot grill plate. Cook according to your recipe.
- Adjust Heat: If using adjustable gel fuel, you may regulate the flame. For charcoal, adjust by adding or removing briquettes (with caution).
- Extinguish Fuel: Once cooking is complete, carefully extinguish the fuel. For gel fuel, use the snuffer if provided. For charcoal, allow it to burn out completely or carefully remove and douse with water.
- Cool Down: Allow the grill and base to cool completely before handling or cleaning.

Care and Maintenance
- Grill Plate Cleaning: After each use, once cooled, scrape off any food residue. Wash with warm water and a mild detergent. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive scrubber. Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust. Re-season periodically.
- Wood Base Cleaning: Wipe the wood base with a damp cloth. Do not soak in water. Dry immediately. Periodically apply food-safe mineral oil to maintain the wood's condition.
- Storage: Store all components in a dry place. Ensure the cast iron grill plate is completely dry before storage to prevent rust.
- Do Not Use: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals on any part of the grill.
