Operating Instructions

First Use

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the grill.
2. Before cooking on this grill for the first time, operate the grill for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed. This will "heat clean" the internal parts and dissipate odors.

Lighting Instructions

⚠️ CAUTION: Keep outdoor cooking appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

⚠️ CAUTION: Check to make sure the air vents are free of debris and ash before using the grill.

⚠️ CAUTION: Attempting to light the grill with the lid closed may cause an explosion.

⚠️ CAUTION: When using a liquid starter, always check bottom bowl and ash receiver before lighting. Fluid can collect in the bottom bowl and/or ash receiver and could ignite, resulting in a fire.

⚠️ CAUTION: Never add lighting fluid to hot or warm coals as flashback may occur, causing serious injury or damage to property.

1. Open lid and vents.
2. Make sure ash receiver is empty and secure.
3. Remove cooking grid.
4. Arrange charcoal briquettes or other fuel on the bottom bowl to the "Fill Line" (Figure 1).
5. Light per instructions on fuel package.
6. Allow fuel to become glowing coals before cooking.

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" section. Leave lid open.
3. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals evenly across charcoal grid with a long-handled 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" 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.

Turning Off

1. Allow charcoal to completely extinguish itself. ⚠️ WARNING: Do NOT use water to extinguish. This can be dangerous and cause damage.
2. Dispose of the ashes in a proper location.

Controlling Flare-ups

⚠️ CAUTION: Do NOT use water on a grease fire. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage.

⚠️ CAUTION: Do NOT leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue. If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.

⚠️ WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/grease fire, use a type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT attempt to extinguish with water.

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous. Important: Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If a grease fire occurs, close the lid until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur. If excessive flare-ups occur, do NOT pour water onto the flames.

Minimize Flare-ups

1. Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
2. Cook high fat content meats indirectly.
3. Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface.

Care and Maintenance

⚠️ CAUTION:

1. All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the ashes properly disposed of.
2. Do NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
