CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Seasoning Coleman® Dual Surface Cast Iron cooking grates with vegetable shortening improves
cooking performance and heat retention, prevents damage and deterioration due to moisture
and humidity, creates a non-stick surface for cooking, and extends the life of your cooking
grates.
Tips:
• Always season your cooking grates before first use, a few times in season, and at first sign of corrosion
or deterioration.
• Prior to preheating the barbecue, remove all build up from cooking grates using a barbecue grill brush.
• Always prep cooking grates with a light coating of vegetable shortening or vegetable oil.
• Following every barbecue session operate barbecue on “HI” for an additional 5 minutes to burn off any
build-up.
How to season your COLEMAN® DUAL SURFACE CAST IRON COOKING
GRATES
1. Brush away build-up with a barbecue grill brush.
2. Wash cooking grates with soap and water. Do not immerse grates in water.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a towel. If cleaning on a very hot day, allow grates to dry in the sun.
Important: Never allow cooking grates to soak in water or stay wet.
4. Coat entire cooking grate, top, bottom, sides and each rod with vegetable shortening. DO NOT use salted
fat such as margarine, butter, or any non-stick cooking spray. Do not use olive oil as it burns off
at high temperatures.

seasoning your cooking grates will offer years of excellent performance.
