Operating your grill
Lighting your grill
1. Make sure lid and vents all are open.
2. Remove the cooking grid. Pile 2-3 pounds of charcoal in the center of
the charcoal grid, and shape into a pyramid. (See figure 1.)
3. If you are using regular charcoal and intend to use lighter fluid, apply
fluid according to the instructions on the container. Allow lighter fluid
to soak in for approximately 1 minute before carefully lighting. If you
are using an electric fire starter, do not add any lighter fluid, and light
charcoal according to the instructions from the manufacturer of the fire
starter. If you are using instant-light charcoal, do not use any extra
lighting methods, carefully light charcoal.
4. Allow charcoal to burn for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until all coals
are lightly coated in gray ash.
Cooking styles
1. Direct grilling: When the coals have ashed over, using a long-handled
cooking utencil and wearing protective cooking mits, spread the coals
evenly over the charcoal grid. Place the cookoing grid back onto the
grill and arrange food on cooking grid. You can cook food with lid open
or closed. (See figure 2.)
2. Indirect grilling: When the coals have ashed over, using a long-handled
cooking utencil and wearing protective cooking mits, arrange charcoal
in a donut shape, leaving an open space in the center. In the center
opening, put a small drip pan (not included) to catch drippings. Place
food on the cooking grid directly above the drip pan. Cook with lid open
or closed. (See figure 3.)
3. Smoking: soak any fragrant wood chips in water over night so they will
not burn when you put them on the charcoal. After spreading the coals
per the direct cooking method, above, place wood chips on charcoal.
Cook with lid closed and cooking grid, if adjustable, set to it’s highest
(away from coals) setting.
General Helpful Hints for Successful Charcoal Cooking
1. Store your charcoal in a dry place. If storing outside, seal charcoal in a
waterproof container.
2. When removing lid during cooking, if your lid is not hinged, lift to one
side instead of straight up. As lifting straight up will create a vacuum
within the grill sucking up the ash into the food.
When cleaning your grill DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, for it will damage
the parts of this product. Clean all grids and pans with mild detergent.
Rinse clean with water. Remove all ash and dispose properly.
Figure 1:
Pile 2-3 pounds of charcoal in the center of
the charcoal grid to light.
Figure 2:
To cook directly, spread the coals evenly
over the charcoal grid after they ash over.
Figure 3:
To cook indirectly, put a small drip pan in the
center of the grill, surrounded by charcoal,
and place meat cirectly above the drip pan.
