it’s reVersible
The griddle has a flat side for preparing sizzling fajitas or a breakfast of
eggs, pancakes or French toast. Use the ridged side for grilling steaks,
kabobs or vegetables.
tiPs
• Since cast iron holds heat well, you will not need to use extremely high
cooking temperatures. Best results are obtained with medium to medium-
high heat. Do not overheat.
• As with all cast iron, the more the use, the easier the maintenance.
cooking with the griddle
1. Make sure kettle is on a level
surface with the front leg facing
into the wind.
2. Remove the cooking grate.
3. Pile approximately 45 charcoal
briquets in the center of the
charcoal grate. (This is a lesser
amount of coals than the regular
amount of the charcoal used
for Direct and Indirect Cooking
Methods.)
4. Ignite the charcoal.
5. When charcoal has a light coating of grey ash (about 25-30 minutes),
spread coals as shown in Figure 1 for best heating results.
m
warning: use heat resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when handling
the griddle and wire support grate.
m
caution: do not drop cast iron griddle, it will break.
