GRILL PREPARATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: NO RETURNS ON USED GRILLS
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before assembling
and operating your grill.
1. Note: The interior of the grills are not painted, they are coated with vegetable oil.
DO NOT remove this coating. Cure grills prior to cooking to protect the interior and
exterior finishes and prevent adding unnatural flavors to your food. (A) Lightly coat
ALL INTERIOR SURFACES (including INSIDE OF BARREL, AND COOKING GRATES)
with additional vegetable oil (spray vegetable oil is easiest but KEEP AWAY FROM
HOT COALS, FIRE OR FLAME). Light burners and set on Medium-Low heat. Close lid
and maintain heat at approximately 250°F (120°C) for two hours. You can lightly
coat the exterior the GRILL body (while warm) with vegetable oil and wipe off ex-
cess with a rag. This will extend the life of the finish, much like waxing a car. Your
GRILL will then be ready for use. Note: Oil will drip from the GRILL for several uses,
but will slow over time.
NEVER EXCEED 450°F (230°C) BECAUSE THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FIN-
ISH AND CONTRIBUTE TO RUST. PAINT IS NOT WARRANTED AND WILL
REQUIRE TOUCH-UP. THIS UNIT IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST RUST.
2. This grill is made of steel and cast iron, which
WILL RUST, ESPECIALLY IF NOT
PROPERLY CARED FOR.
3. You may fill unwanted holes with Nuts & Bolts (Not Provided).
NOTE: Smoke will escape from areas other than the vents. This will not affect
your cooking .
