Cooking Instructions

Initial Lighting: When lit for the first time, the grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condition
caused by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not
occur again. Simply burn the grill on high for approximately 30 minutes with the lid and base vents fully
open.
Grill Use: We recommend preheating the grill by operating it with the lid closed for approximately 20
minutes. The coals are ready when they have a light coating of grey ash. Food cooked for short periods of
time (fish, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed ensures higher, more
even temperatures that will reduce cooking time and cook the food more evenly. When cooking very lean
meat, such as chicken breast or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before preheating to reduce sticking.
Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content may create flare-ups. Either trim the fat or reduce
temperatures to inhibit this. Should a flare-up occur, move food away from flames; reduce the heat
(reduce vent opening). Leave the lid open.
As a general rule, plan on using about 50 briquettes to cook 2 lb. (1kg) of meat. If cooking for more than
30 to 40 minutes, additional briquettes must be added to the fire. When the weather is cold or windy, you
will need more briquettes to reach ideal cooking temperatures.
Adding Charcoal During Cooking: Use caution when adding charcoal to the grill. Flames may flare up when
coals come in contact with fresh air. Stand back a safe distance and use a long-handled heat-resistant
cooking tongs to add additional charcoal briquettes. There are flaps on either side of the cooking grid that
provide access to the charcoal grate.
WARNING!
fluid is required.
Operating The Vents: Lid vents on a covered grill are usually left open to allow air into the grill. Air
increases the burning temperature of the coals. You can regulate the grill's temperature by moving
the vent slide to the right or left. Closing the vents either partially or completely will help to cool down
the coals. Do not completely close the air vents and the lid vent unless you are trying to cool down or
extinguish a flame.
After Use Safety
WARNING!
precautions.
• Close the grill lid and all vents to extinguish fire.
• Always allow the grill to cool completely before handling.
• Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended. Make sure coals and ashes are completely extin-
guished before removing.
• Use a metal spatula or scoop to remove remaining coals and ashes from grill. Place them in a
non-combustible metal container and completely saturate with water. Leave in container an
additional 24 hours before disposing.
