A CLEAN GRILL COOKS MORE EVENLY
Cleaning your PK Grill & Smoker is easy. Once the ashes inside the
grill are cool, simply lift the capsule off stand and dump it.
CAUTION: Never dump hot ash into a trash bin.
FIRING UP YOUR PK
• Slide the lower air intake vent dampers to the full open position.
• Fill one charcoal chimney with briquettes and light the chimney as per the
instructions.
• Once the coals are hot (clear smoke, white appearance), open the hinged side of
the cooking grid or remove the grid completely and dump the hot charcoal onto
the charcoal grate.
• For two-zone cooking, arrange the coals on one side of the grill. This side will be
your hot zone. The other side will be your cool zone.
• Close the door on the cooking grid or put the cooking grid into place.
• Close the Top Cast and set the vents (top and bottom) to dial in your desired
cooking temperature.
• This process may be used with one or two charcoal chimneys depending upon
your method of cooking and how much fuel you need.
★
Special note: We declare the area inside a 5-foot radius of any PK Grill to be the
“Cool Zone.” That’s right. We just said that.
COOLING DOWN YOUR PK
• Closing the Top Cast and all of the vents will starve the coals of oxygen and shut
down the grill.
• Because the PK is so efficient, it shuts down quickly and you may find that you
have left over coals after your cook. These coals can be re-lit and re-used.
• Make sure the coals are completely cool before attempting to clean ash out of
your PK. Never dispose of hot ash in any area with flammable materials.
• A PK Charcoal Basket will keep your coals together, aid in reuse and clean-up.
