Dual Fuel Grill
you are cooking and the temperature you want to cook at. It also allows easy cleaning of the
interior of the firebox after the unit has cooled down completely. It is not recommended to raise
a fully loaded charcoal tray higher than the middle height setting.
NOTE: The grate is coated with porcelain which is a fragile coating. Handle with care to avoid
damage. Do not cool the grate in cold water while it is still hot or the coating may crack. Let the
grate cool off by itself.
For maximum heat/temperature, open both louvered air vents located on the grill lid as required.
To reduce the heat/temperature, close the air vents.
NOTE: The temperature should not go above 500ºF. If the temperature goes above 500ºF, you
should reduce the quantity of briquettes that you have placed in the charcoal tray. The proper
cooking temperature should not exceed 500ºF.
Seasoning Unit
1. Before your first cooking you should season the unit to enhance the cooking and to provide better
overall durability. Failure to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic
flavors to your foods.
2. Remove all retail hangtags that are on the unit, making sure NOT to remove safety markings from
the unit.
• SEASON UNIT: before first cooking, place about 40 briquettes in the charcoal pan. Do not place
any briquettes against walls of the pan.
• Coat interior surfaces of
charcoal grill only
with vegetable cooking oil.
• Light briquettes and set ash pan at medium height by cranking the crank handle.
• Sustain burn for about two hours with lid closed and all dampers to 1/4 open. Allow the unit to cool
down properly.
• Once this is completed, the unit is ready for use.
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!
WARNING:
These metal parts could be very hot while grilling. Always operate these parts
while wearing a heat-resistant glove.
Never use charcoal starter fluid, gasoline, kerosene or alcohol with an electric ignition.
Grilling
Charcoal is recommended as the fuel source for grilling, placed and ignited on the charcoal pan. Do
not build too large of a fire. We recommend starting a fire with no more than 3 pounds of charcoal
(approximately 55 briquettes) and adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to
burn down, place the cooking grates in the unit. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting
charcoal may result in serious personal injury and or property damage.
