Q: My grates have rust on them. How do I get rid of it?
If rust occurs, clean with a steel brush. Reapply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated
above.
Q: The paint finish inside my lid is peeling. What can I do?
You are seeing a deposit of grease and smoke that collects during normal use that resembles
paint. These carbon deposits are non-toxic, but you may want to regularly remove the
build-up. Remove buildup using a brass or stiff bristle brush before grilling. Future build-up
can be avoided by simply wiping the grill lid while slightly warm with a mild soap-and-water
solution.
Q: When can I put my meat on the grill?
Grill is ready for use when charcoal is ashed over and no visible flames are present.
Q: How do I regulate the heat on my grill?
Adjusting the dampers will increase and decrease airflow and heating.
• Inspect hardware tightness on a regular basis to insure grill is in safe working condition.
• ALWAYS allow grill to cool completely before handling.
• ALWAYS empty charcoal pan after use only when ashes have completely cooled.
This will help prolong charcoal pan life.
• Clean grill, including special surfaces such as cooking grates with mild cleaning
agents. Wipe outside of grill with damp rag. DO NOT use oven cleaner.
• ALWAYS cover and store cold grill in a protected area.
• Indoor storage of grill is permissible only if the charcoal has burned to a complete
ash AND is cold. Remember to remove cold ashes before storing.
• Grill is made of steel and may rust over time. If rusting occurs on outside surfaces,
clean area with sand paper or steel wool, then cover with heat resistant paint.
• If rusting occurs on the inside surface of grill, clean area with sandpaper or steel
wool, then coat with cooking oil.
• NEVER USE PAINT ON INSIDE SURFACES OF GRILL
