Note:
Raise or lower the charcoal tray to control the cooking
temperature. We DO NOT recommend raising the tray above 3.
Season the Grill
Before first use, season the unit for better cooking and durability. Failure
to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or leave metallic
flavors on your food.
1. Coat interior surfaces of the grill with vegetable cooking oil.
2. Follow steps 1–6 for “Light the Charcoal.”
3. Sustain burn for 2 hours with lid closed and all dampers ¼ open.
4. Allow the unit to cool down, and it is ready for use.
Light the Charcoal
1. Open the grill lid and remove the cooking grids.
2. Adjust charcoal tray to 3.
3. For fuel, charcoal is recommended, but wood or a combination of wood
and charcoal may be used. We recommend using no more than 3 lbs. of
charcoal at once and adding more, as needed, for cooking.
4. Pour enough charcoal to form an even layer on the charcoal tray. Group
the coals into a mound. Use more coal if cooking in cold or wet weather
(for a longer burn time).
5. Add charcoal starter fluid, if desired, per package instructions. If you spill
any, change clothes or thoroughly clean up the spill before lighting the
grill.
6. Light the charcoal carefully with a long match or long lighter. Light the
charcoal in 3 places and allow the fire to spread. Lower charcoal tray to 1.
7. With the lid open, allow the charcoal briquettes to fully ignite (flame will
be gone and coals will begin to turn gray in about 15 minutes).
8. When the charcoal is ready, spread it out using tongs to form a layer over
the charcoal tray. Replace cooking grates.
