MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE
AIRFLOW:
In order to control the temperature of your grill, you need to control the amount of air flow to the fire. By
opening and closing the top and bottom dampers, you can adjust the temperature of your grill.
• MORE AIR = MORE HEAT (open the vents)
• LESS AIR = LESS HEAT (close the vents)
CHARCOAL:
The amount of charcoal used when grilling can also greatly impact your ability to control temperature. The
more charcoal that ignites, the hotter the grill can be.
• MORE CHARCOAL = MORE HEAT
• LESS CHARCOAL = LESS HEAT
TEMPERATURE MAINTENANCE NOTES:
• Adjustments to the vents / dampers are not immediate. Be patient, allow 10–15 minutes from a vent
adjustment for a temperature change to take effect.
• Because ceramic retains heat so well, only increase your grill temperature slightly and slowly. It's much
easier to increase the heat slightly, than it is to bring the temperature down after an overshoot.
COOKING TIPS
BURPING the GRILL:
When cooking above 350
approximately 5 seconds each time you lift the dome. This will prevent a flash-back - a surge of white- hot
heat caused by a rush of oxygen.
LIQUIDS:
Do not spill liquids inside or on the grill while it is hot.
SIDE SHELVES
Caution! Do not set hot items on the side shelves.
SHUT DOWN
1. When finished cooking, close the bottom vent completely.
2. Clean your grill grates with a grate scraper or damp rag. Use CAUTION, they will be hot.
3. Once temperature falls below 400
4. Do not cover or clean the grill until the dome is cool to the touch (115OF / 45OC).
5. Please review the cleaning and care instructions for further cleaning steps.
GRATE LIFTER
Use your grate lifter to handle your cooking grates.
CAUTION! Cooking grates can be HOT! Use the grill gripper to re-position
the cooking grates throughout your cook.
NOTE: The grates should be as close together as possible.
