This grill has an adjustable charcoal tray. By turning
the crank handle, the charcoal tray can be raised or
lowered to desired height. This allows for different heat
settings depending on the food you are cooking and the
temperature at which you want to cook. It also allows
easy cleaning of the interior of the firebox after the unit
has cooled down completely. It is not recommended to
raise a fully loaded charcoal tray higher than the middle
height setting.
CHARCOAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
•
Open grill top.
•
Remove cooking grates.
•
Adjust charcoal tray to the center position.
•
Place one even row of charcoal briquettes in the
charcoal tray. Make sure that charcoal does not go
above the top of the tray.
•
Light briquettes.
•
Move charcoal tray to the bottom position.
•
With the top open, allow the briquettes to fully ignite
(to the point where there is no further lame).
•
Once the briquettes are lit, put the grates back in the
grill.
•
Adjust charcoal tray as required to achieve the proper
temperature.
•
The two side air vents on the lid should be kept open
during cooking to allow air low.
NOTE: The temperature should not go above 500ºF. If the
temperature goes above 500ºF, you should reduce the
quantity of briquettes that you have placed in the charcoal
tray. The proper cooking temperature should not exceed
500ºF.
SEASONING UNIT
1.
Before your first cooking you should season the unit
to enhance the cooking and to provide better overall
durability. Failure to properly follow these steps may
damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to
foods.
2.
Place about 60 briquettes in the charcoal pan. Do not
place any briquettes against walls of the pan.
3.
Coat interior surfaces with vegetable cooking oil.
4.
Light briquettes and set ash pan at medium height by
cranking the crank handle.
5.
Sustain burn for about two hours with lid closed and
all dampers to 1/4 of the way open. Allow the unit to
cool down properly.
6.
Once this is completed, the unit is ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a
light coating of vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid
in the protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill
may need occasional touch up. We recommend the use
of commercially available black high temperature spray
paint.
NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT!
