Before the first use
Thoroughly clean the grilling grate with hot water before using it for the first time, then dry thoroughly.
Thanks to the pre-seasoned surface a previous seasoning is not necessary. You can use the grate immediately.
Grilling and cooking with the Fire Barbecue Grill tg3
• Prepare barbecue briquettes or charcoal in a charcoal chimney starter and, as soon as they are
sufficiently glowing, place them on the charcoal grate of the fire barbecue grill. At first, use less
briquettes than usual, for the fire barbecue grill tg3 can store the heat very well. In case the quantity
is not sufficient, you can add some more briquettes through the flip down door at any time.
• You can also place the fire starter or grill lighter under the charcoal grate. Add the desired amount of
briquettes or charcoal on the charcoal grate and wait until they are completely glowing.
Important:
the draft door should be open.
• You can now place the grilling grate or put your Dutch Oven on the charcoal and start grilling or
cooking. You must wear heat-resistant gloves.
• When using a Dutch Oven, add a few more briquettes onto its lid depending on the recipe.
• When using the grill: Air supply control and flip down door should be closed. If you need more heat,
add a few briquettes or some charcoal through the flip down door (ideally with charcoal tongs).
• After use, make sure that the residues of briquettes or charcoal have completely cooled down. Only
then, you can start cleaning.
Cleaning, care and storage
As long as you take correct care of your barbecue grill, it should last for generations. Thus, you must
follow a few important basic rules:
• Remove the cold ashes from the grill by taking out both grilling grate and charcoal grate and by
removing the ashes with a hand brush. If necessary, clean the parts with warm water and then dry
them always thoroughly.
• Clean the grates of the cast-iron grill only with hot water and a commercially available dishwashing
brush and a sponge. Never use dishwashing liquid or soap. It can destroy the patina. The grates of
the cast-iron grill are not dishwasher-safe.
• Do not clean the cast-iron grill or its parts with cold water when they are hot, for the created tensions
could crack the cast iron or damage it otherwise.
• Once you have cleaned the grates (and possibly other parts), dry them thoroughly. In order to opti-
mally care for cast iron, apply a thin layer of grease. For that purpose, use neutral oil, vegetable fat
or the Petromax Care Conditioner for Cast and Wrought Iron.
