Cooking with a
Convection Grill
A convection grill has an internal fan that
circulates heated air evenly throughout
the grilling area when the hood is closed.
Cooking in this way distributes heat more
efficiently so you no longer have to be
concerned with “hot spots” on the grill
where food tends to burn. The fan switch
is located at the far left of the front panel
of the grill.

Lighting Instructions
NEVER use flammable materials and fluids such as
gasoline, kerosene, butane or propane, diesel fuel,
or alcohol to light or re-light fires. Keep the grill away
from such substances when lit.
Use high quality hardwood charcoal to ensure a good
flame. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, oak,
birch, or elm woods will burn cleanly, minimizing
smoke and unpleasant odors.
Open the hood and remove cooking grates.

approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until a light
gray ash develops.
Leave about a one-half inch space between each
piece of charcoal. This helps to avoid flare-ups from
the meat juices and provides the even heat best
suited for grilling.
Grilling
NEVER allow children or pets unattended in an area
where a grill is being used. Never allow children to
sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time.
When in use, certain areas of the grill get hot enough
to cause severe burns.
Leave the hood open for “Texas Style” open air
grilling. Close the hood for “smoker” cooking.
For the greatest concentration of heat, leave the hood
open. Adjust the crank handle to lift the charcoal tray
up so the burning charcoal will be close to the grilling
meat. Lower the charcoal tray to slow the grilling
temperature.
Storage
Never store the grill with ashes or combustible
materials inside. Do not store the grill until the fire
is completely extinguished and the grill body has
cooled.
