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 charcoal pan, being sure
not to lay coals against the walls.
3. Close lid, position air vent knob at approximately
one quarter open. This burn should be sustained
for at least two hours. Begin increasing the
temperature by opening the air vent knob
halfway and adding more charcoal. Your grill is
now ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill.
Maintaining a light coat of vegetable oil on the
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
GRILL!
Please see information regarding uncoated cast iron
grates below.
First Time Use:
Before using a cast iron grate or other cast iron
cooking tool, wash it thoroughly with a mild
dishwashing liquid to remove the protective wax
coating applied for shipping. Rinse with hot water
and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper
towel. NEVER ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY OR WASH IN A
DISHWASHER. Now season the grates to prevent rust
and sticking.
Seasoning:
A solid vegetable shortening is recommended
for the initial seasoning. Spread a thin coating of
solid vegetable shortening over the entire surface,
including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use
salted fats such as butter or margarine. Preheat grill
for 15 minutes; carefully place grates in the grill.
Allow the grill to heat grates for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Allow
the fire to burn out on its own, and leave cooking
grates in grill until they are cool. Your cast iron
cooking grates are now ready to use.
To Prevent Rusting:
Re-season your grates frequently, particularly when
new. If rust occurs, it is an indication that the grates
have not been seasoned enough or the seasoning
has been burned off. Clean with a heavy brush
like Char-Broil’s Brush Hawg. Reapply vegetable
shortening and heat as indicated above to re-season
the grates.
