STARTING A CHARCOAL FIRE IN YOUR OneFire SIZZLER GRILL
STEP 1
. Use a high quality hardwood charcoal to make sure you get a good fi re. Charcoal briquettes made from maple, oak, birch or
elm woods will burn clean with very little smoke and without unpleasant odors.
STEP 2
. Open the hood and all the vents.
STEP 3.
Remove the Cooking Grid. Line the bottom of the Bowl with heavy duty aluminum foil.
STEP 4.
Place about three pounds of charcoal (45-50 briquettes) in the bottom of the grill.
STEP 5.
Make a pyramid shaped stack near the front of the Bowl and pour on charcoal lighter fl uid following the instructions on the
container.
Warning: Do not use lighter fl uid if you are using instant light briquettes or an electric fi re starter.
STEP 6.
Let the lighter fl uid soak in for approximately one minute.
STEP 7.
Carefully light the charcoal and let it burn for 20 to 30 minutes or until it is covered with a light gray ash. NOTE: For a hot fi re
in a hurry, use a fan or a bellows to create extra air movement over the charcoal. Be careful not to blow the ashes out of the grill.
STEP 8.
Use long-handled tongs to arrange the charcoal in a checkerboard pattern. Leave about one-half inch of space between
each piece of charcoal. This will help you to avoid fl are-up from the meat drippings and will give you more even heat for grilling.
COOKING ON YOUR OneFire SIZZLER GRILL
1. TILT-AWAY HOOD
...Leave the hood open for “Texas Style” open air barbecuing. Close the hood for “Smoker” cooking or when
you want to hold in all the heat.
2. ADJUSTABLE DRAFT
...Leave the hood vent open for the most heat, close it to lower the heat. It takes a few minutes for the
charcoal to react to the vent adjustment.
3. SMOKING
...For true smoke fl avor, use chips or chunks of wood from nut or fruit trees such as hickory, walnut, cherry or apple.
Soak the chips in water overnight (or at least 2 hours before cooking) so they will not burn so quickly when you put them on the
charcoal.
After you get the fi re started and charcoal spread out, scatter the soaked chips on top of the hot charcoal using tongs. Spray the
Cooking Grid with cooking spray so food does not stick, then snap the Cooking Grid in place. CAUTION: Use long barbecue mitts to
snap in the grid. Place the meat on the grid, close the hood, and adjust the vent for the desired heat.
4. FLARE-UPS
...Close the vent for at least one minute to stop fl are-ups. You do not have to use water.
5. PUTTING OUT THE CHARCOAL
...Save your charcoal to use again by closing the hood and vent. The charcoal will go out in a
little while and the next time you cook, you will need to add less new charcoal.
CARE OF YOUR OneFire SIZZLER GRILL
For easier cleaning and before each time you cook... line the bottom of the fi re bowl with heavy duty or a double
layer of aluminum foil. Make sure you leave all the vents uncovered.
Ashes
...Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each time you cook but wait until the charcoal has cooled. Pour out the ashes or
wrap them in the aluminum foil from the bottom of the Bowl. Never put hot ashes in a garbage container. You can save any leftover
charcoal for use next time you cook. Use a garden hose to wash out accumulated grease and ashes. Let the grill dry before closing.
Cooking grid
...Use a detergent and hot water solution just as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff brush may be helpful in
removing heavy grease deposits.
Hood and Bowl
...Dampen a cloth in hot water and a detergent solution. Then, wipe both the inside and outside of the hood and
bowl.
CAUTION:
Be careful around sharp edges of the grill. Wipe all areas dry before storing. Note: Do not use oven cleaner or
abrasive cleaner on your grill. This may cause damage to the paint fi nish.
Storage
...After you have cleaned your grill, store it in a clean, dry area. Leave all the vents open so moisture does not collect inside
causing rust. If you store your grill outside, close the top vent to keep the rain out.
If rust appears on your grill
, clean and buff the aff ected area with steel wool. Touch up bare metal with a high heat paint speci-
fi ed for barbeque grills. Follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for use.
