Finishing Up
When your are finished grilling you can shut down your grill by closing both dampers and allowing the
fire to suffocate. Be patient. This make take an hour or more.
Emptying the Ashes:
**
ONLY EMPTY ASHES WHILE GRILL IS NOT IS USE **
After the fire is completely extinguished you should wait several hours before emptying the ashes to
ensure they are not still hot and a burn hazard.
1. Knock any ashes that did not fall into the ash pan from the fire grate. (If there are pieces of partially
burned charcoal on the fire grate you can save them for next time. They are still good).
2. Tap the sides of the fire bowl to knock loose any ash that is on the sides.
3. Unclip the ash pan from the bottom of the grill and slide out towards the front.
4. Give the ash pan a few firm taps to loosen any ash that may be stuck.
5. Place the ashes in a metal container and cover with water to ensure there are no lit coals then you
can dispose of the ashes.
IMPORTANT: Charcoal is porous and holds moisture. DO NOT leave charcoal in your grill while
you are not using it. Charcoal and ashes leftinside the ash pan may reduce the life of your grill.
