PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
Before cooking with your grill, the following steps should be closely
followed to both cure the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to
properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart
metallic flavors to your first foods.
1. Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable
cooking oil.
2. Build a small fire on the fire grate, being sure not to lay coals
against the walls.
3. Close lid. This burn should be sustained for at least two hours.
Begin increasing temperature by adjusting the vents and adding more
charcoal. Let fire go out and cool grill. Your grill is now ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a light coat of
vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid in the protection of your grill.
NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF YOUR GRILL!
Do not build too large of a fire. We recommend starting a fire with no
more than 1 pound of charcoal (approximately 20 briquets) and adding
more as needed during cooking.
SMOKING
is done using indirect heat, water and smoke. The food is placed on
the grids with a water pan in between the fire and grids to subdue the
direct flame. The water pan will add moisture to your cooking. Slow
smoking occurs in approximately the low zone of the heat indicator,
and requires an extended cooking time. This type of cooking is ideal
for turkey, ham, or sausage.
After allowing the fire to burn down, place the water pan and grids in
unit. Add water to the water pan. Careful with hot coals while placing
into unit. Place foods on grids. Cover with lid allow to cook until foods
are done. Check charcoal and water periodically adding more as
needed through out cooking process.
BARBEQUING
is accomplished by using a low direct heat,
. By using the extended body creating more
distance with the grid from the coal, a slower direct cooking method
will result. This will also require extended cooking time, but worth the
wait. This method is ideal for chicken, ribs, fish, and vegetables.
After allowing the fire to burn down, place upper body onto lower body.
Place food on upper grid in the upper body.
Cover with lid allow to cook until foods are done. Check charcoal
periodically adding more as needed through out cooking process.
GRILLING
is a method of cooking directly over a fire, for foods such as steaks,
hamburgers, and hot dogs. Due to the high temperatures and direct
proximity to the fire, this type of cooking requires close attention.
After allowing the fire to burn down, place grid on lower grid brackets in
the lower body assembly (Do not use water pan). Place foods on grid.
Cover with lid allow to cook until foods are done checking frequently.

WITH PAN IN PLACE.
WARNING
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR
LIGHTING CHARCOAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
GRILL MAINTENANCE:
When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out
all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which can lead to
premature rusting and decay. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to
air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of unit with cloth or
paper towel. Periodically coating the interior surfaces with vegetable
oil will aid in the protection of your unit.
COOKING SURFACE:
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It
is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
Open the dampers to increase temperature; close the dampers to
decrease temperatures. This process of adjusting the temperature can
take several minutes. Once the proper setting is obtained, only
occasional attention is required.
