OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a light coating of vegetable oil on 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 UNIT!

Grilling
Charcoal is recommended, however wood or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source
for grilling if the fuel source is placed and ignited on the charcoal pan. Do not build too large a fire. We
recommend starting a fire with no more than 3.5 lbs. of charcoal (approximately 65 briquettes) and
adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the cooking grates
in the unit using heat-resistant gloves. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal may
result in serious personal injury and or property damage.

• Never substitute gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for charcoal starter. In some states, the use of

charcoal starter. Never use charcoal starter fluid with an electric starter.
